About me

Hi I am Geraldine, 

I love to make connections and serve people in their individual needs and preferences.

I spent over 20 years working in the NHS as a Midwife. I have experiences of working in a wide selection of Birth locations, from large London Hospitals, alongside units, and stand alone Birth Centres, to Home, Yurts, and Boat Births! I continue to be in awe of the magic and power of pregnancy and Birth. 

 

But I am not here just for the magic! I am here for when you need support, when you need to find answers, and have your choices backed up. Few of us go through more radical changes in our life than when we experience pregnancy and transition to become parents. 

 

I chose to continue my studies with the Centre for Breastfeeding Education and   Research and become an accredited International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). When I saw the continued need in my community for expert infant feeding support.

When I am not busy supporting birth I can be found having adventures in my van, geeking out about all things breastfeeding and running trails with my dog Flora. I am a proud Mum to two beautiful humans who are now bigger than me. Celebrating the everyday joy in life is what keeps my eyes sparkly!

Training and Development

I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development, ensuring the care I provide is always informed by the latest evidence and best practice.
