About Me

I am The Alternative Midwife - Gemma.

For more than 16 years, I have walked with women through birth, loss, grief, menopause, and the chapters that change us. My path has taken me from teaching active birth and self-hypnosis, to youth work with women navigating pregnancy and loss, to caring for my father through dementia.

I later trained and became a midwife, moving into roles within community, birth centre, and homebirth teams, and into leadership supporting both women and midwives.

But what I offer here is different.
Beyond the clinical. Beyond the medical.

Alongside my work and training in Kinesiology, Trauma Therapy, the Rewind Technique, mental health, and public health — I now can weave together science, breathwork, bodywork, and wise woman guidance.

Not only work into the body and mind, but into the quieter, more intuitive layers of women’s experiences, the parts that are often felt, but not always spoken.

This work is always grounded, always led by you, and always held with care.

This is not therapy that fixes.

It is space that heals.

It is work that lets women soften, release, and rise.

Every chapter, held and healed.
