My Mission

My mission is simply this: to help as many women as possible have a happy and healthy pregnancy, in body, mind and soul!
Your amazing body is pregnant! Let’s keep our focus firmly on that and keep it at the centre of all the work we do together.

It began when I was a young(er!) midwife, meeting women every day who were delighted and excited to be pregnant, but were nervous and worried too – because of their weight. Maybe that’s normal though, right? Well, yes, perhaps, except what I’ve come to realise is – and here’s where my mission comes in – many women worry a lot about their weight, when the ‘facts’ they’ve been given about their weight in pregnancy are inaccurate.

Health messages promote a perception that plus-size pregnancy is risky. Stats and numbers have become distorted and this leads to a really damaging, sometimes demeaning focus on weight. I believe this needs to change.

I want to dispel such distorted messages, and tell you what the scientific evidence actually demonstrates, to help you to re-focus on your wellness at this special time, and to ensure you have a wonderful journey towards meeting your baby.
