About me

I am a mother of three children born in 1999, 2002 and 2006. Two of my children were born at home in water and my first was born with no difficulties in hospital. I first decided I wanted to help other women and their partners during their pregnancy and birth after having the most amazing, beautiful experience of birthing my second child.

I am passionate about a woman's ability to give birth and feel every woman should enter her chosen environment free from fear and ready to face the work of labour and birth with real confidence in her strength and power.

I attended Michel Odent's Paramanadoula course and have worked closely with the local hospital and community midwives in Kent where I had my children. I also ran a parent information evening on the use of water for labour and birth with senior midwife Rosie Smith for two years.I presented at a waterbirth study day in November 2007.

I am a member of the NCT in North Warrington and wish to train with them to be an antenatal teacher.

I am a Mother Supporter with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers and I am undergoing training as a volunteer helper with the Breastfeeding Network.

I am a member of the Wigan Association of Radical Midwives and regularly attend their meetings.

I also hope to train to be a Birthing from Within Mentor.

I co-run the birth choices group "Bumps 2 Babies" which will meet on the first Tuesday of the month in Leigh starting in May 2008 - please contact me for more information on this group by phoning me on 07870125082.
