Experienced professional and natural help
during pregnancy and childbirth
I offer:
- hypnobirthing assistance and private classes
- high quality personal care to the new mum and her whole family in her own home or in hospital- private, bespoke birth preparation classes
- as much tuition and guidance as the mum wants and feels she needs - antenatally, during labour and birth as well as postnatally, to ensure the safety and comfort of the mother and baby
- breastfeeding education, help/advice
- in depth, birth plan discussion about choices regarding birth prep., care/guidance required, birthing support, post delivery requests including the delivery of the placenta
- informed choices regarding the birthing plan
My sessions and care are tailor-made to the needs and requirements of each individual. Having had almost 20 years experience as a qualified midwife, I am able to marry the holistic outlook with medical knowledge and background. This helps create the safe, balanced, and calm environment necessary for a positive experience. I enjoy supporting the family as a unit. I am able to translate the medical jargon into layman's terms to try to alleviate some of the stress.
Previous experience:
- Qualified nurse (qualified and trained in South Africa)
- qualified midwife (qualified and trained in South Africa)
- advance midwifery training in South Africa
My Practice in South Africa
In my own practice in South Africa I was privileged to accompany and assist with home-births and water births.
I ran my own antenatal clinic and birth prep. classes and breastfeeding clinic.
I looked after the new mum after she had given birth - in home or in hospital.
I ran an immunization clinic for those who wanted their babies immunized, and offered advice for those who wanted to go the holistic route.
My experience in the UK I worked as a midwife at The Rosie, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.
