Work With Me

Birth has the power to shape us.

It can leave us feeling strong, informed and empowered. It can also leave us with questions, uncertainty or experiences that continue to stay with us long after the baby is born.

As an experienced Midwife, Birth Educator and Birth Rewind Practitioner, I offer personalised support for women and families at different stages of their birth journey.

Whether you are preparing for birth, making sense of a previous experience, or seeking support following a difficult birth, my role is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, informed and understood.

Birth Preparation

Preparing for birth is about more than writing a birth plan.

It's about understanding your options, building confidence in your decisions and developing trust in yourself and your ability to navigate birth.

Together we can explore:

• Understanding labour and birth physiology

• Birth choices and informed decision-making

• Birth planning and preferences

• Induction, interventions and maternity care pathways

• Preparing birth partners for their role

• Building confidence and reducing fear

Whether this is your first baby or a subsequent pregnancy, sessions are tailored to your individual needs, questions and circumstances.

Birth Debriefing

Sometimes birth leaves us with questions.

You may find yourself replaying events, struggling to understand what happened, feeling disappointed by your experience or carrying emotions that have never had space to be explored.

Birth Debriefing offers an opportunity to tell your story, reflect on your experience and gain greater understanding of what happened during your birth.

Women often seek a debrief after:

• A difficult or unexpected birth

• Emergency intervention or caesarean birth

• Feeling unheard or unsupported

• Lingering questions about events

• Preparing for a future pregnancy

There is no time limit on when a birth can be explored. Whether your experience was recent or many years ago, your story matters.

Birth Rewind Therapy

Some birth experiences continue to affect women long after the event itself.

You may notice anxiety, intrusive memories, fear of future pregnancy or birth, or emotional responses that feel difficult to manage.

Birth Rewind Therapy is a gentle, structured approach designed to help reduce the emotional impact of traumatic birth experiences and birth-related fears.

Women commonly seek Birth Rewind support for:

• Previous traumatic birth experiences

• Fear of birth (tokophobia)

• Anxiety during a subsequent pregnancy

• Difficult medical experiences

• Birth-related trauma

The aim is not to erase memories, but to reduce the distress associated with them so that they no longer hold the same power over your daily life.

A Different Kind of Support

The Alternative Midwife was created from a belief that women deserve time, space and honest conversations.

My approach combines professional knowledge, evidence-based information and compassionate listening. There is no agenda, no judgement and no one-size-fits-all approach.

Just support that meets you where you are.
