We are both practicing midwives with over 30 years experience in providing antenatal, birthing and postnatal care to women. To compliment this, we are both mothers. We have had the honor of working in the bloom practice since it commenced in march 2019. It is a relatively new concept in maternity healthcare and we are excited and passionate about being involved. It provides us with the opportunity to care for, support and empower women throughout their pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey. Continuity of care, valuing choice and autonomy for each woman and couples has shown to have positive outcomes. We feel privileged to work in this model of care.
