I am a specialist midwife with a strong emphasis on supporting and caring for vulnerable women during their pregnancy and in the postnatal period. I have worked as a lead midwife in Perinatal Mental Health and Safeguarding Children within the NHS and I am also a Newborn Infant Physical Examination and Newborn Behaviour Observation trained practitioner. I firmly believe that if we can support, help, teach, and create an environment where parents can feel self-confident in their ability to parent then they can feel empowered to do what is right for them and their baby. I strongly believe in DorPIP’s vision to promote the importance of early attachment and early intervention including when the baby is in utero so that we can improve life outcomes for children.
