I have spent almost forty years walking alongside women, families and their midwives at the most pivotal moments of their lives. My healthcare journey began in 1985 as a nurse, followed by midwifery in 1988. Midwifery has been my compass, taking me across continents, cultures, birthing rooms and living rooms, from the UK to Abu Dhabi and Muscat, from community pathways to midwife-led units, delivery suites, and into the autonomy of independent practice.

Throughout my career, I became known for holding the calm when choices fell outside the conventional — for supporting women who knew their own minds, who wanted to be heard, and who deserved care that met them where they were. Helping them birth safely, confidently, and on their own terms became my greatest privilege and my deepest professional grounding.

Running an independent midwifery practice taught me lessons no textbook ever could about leadership, advocacy, resilience and presence. It also showed me the weight carried quietly by midwives themselves — the emotional load, the moral injury, the exhaustion of constant giving. I know these pressures intimately because I have lived them too.

Today, I channel that lifetime of clinical wisdom and lived experience into coaching and advocacy for midwives — creating a space that is restorative, confidential, and undeniably expert-led. My work is rooted in integrity, depth, and gentle disruption of the narrative that says midwives must carry it all alone. .

My approach blends decades of practice, cultural insight, and hard-earned understanding, delivered with warmth, discretion and the kind of excellence that only experience can shape.

Away from my work, you will find me travelling alone and with friends, cherishing slow mornings with  coffee, and finding joy in ordinary moments spent with my family — and my dog Billy, always close by.
