About me
Hello, I’m Michelle, she/her and I live in Bath with my husband and twins, who are amazing, challenging and funny, and probably my biggest inspiration and drive behind my work.
Working one to one with people is what I have always enjoyed, getting
to know each other, building a relationship of acknowledgement, respect and advocacy. I am a people person. Having previously worked
for The Priory, NHS and in various educational settings, I know my
natural place in the world is in supporting families. I am continually learning to develop and grow as a birthworker, as well as keeping up
with new and evolving research.
