My career began by working alongside a nurse midwife in an African mission hospital and I embarked on my own nurse training in Jersey and Southampton in 1990. With 5+ years experience as a nurse behind me, I started training to be a midwife in Cambridge (UK) in 1996. With 25+ years of midwifery experience in 3 continents and having seen change in trends and practice, I have a plethora of tricks and tips.

No choice is right or wrong. Whatever choices you make, I can support you.

I moved to Singapore in 2018 with my husband and youngest son. Having taken a break from practising as a midwife to support my first love - my husband through a start-up business and my sons through GCSE’s, A levels and IB, I was keen to return to my second love - midwifery. During those years I supported friends and family through childbirth and the postnatal period, realising that I loved this part of midwifery most of all. Training as a doula was the obvious choice, creating the perfect blend of midwifery knowledge and doula support to ensure that you are in the best hands.

I am passionate about empowering expectant parents to be the best that they can be. I believe that all parents should make informed choices when it comes to pregnancy and birth and with my experience, knowledge and training I will assist in helping you to do this.

My expertise is in unassisted birth and water births, having had 2 home water births myself and lead professional for a caseload of over 1000 unassisted births. Having worked in a world leading obstetric teaching hospital, I also have excellent experience and knowledge in high tech birth, birth after abuse, teenage pregnancy and birth, and pre and post marriage counselling.

I am a lactation counsellor trained by the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (WHO & Unicef). The initiative supports and promotes breastfeeding for the well-being of all mothers and babies.
