The experience of having a baby is monumental in women's lives; it was for me and is the reason why I am a midwife. I recognise that making decisions within trusting relationships can be a big part of the journey to confident motherhood.
My two children were born at home and I have birth partnered many women, at home and in hospital, in the years before I qualified as a midwife in 2008. I qualifed as an Active Birth Teacher in 1997 and have run yoga for pregnancy and birth preparation groups ever since. In recent years I have also facilitated 'blessingway' celebrations for pregnancy and other 'rites of passage'.
I can provide responsive midwifery care from early pregnancy through to around one month postnatally, within one hour's drive of my home near Cupar, Fife. I can occasionally work with women who live further afield.
