Supporting hundreds of women, family & friends over the past decade is the inspiration behind Midwife Miranda.

Over the years I have witnessed the pressures, changes and gaps in maternity services, no more so than since the global pandemic. â€‹ My experience as a specialist midwife for mental health has further highlighted the increasing needs of both women and their families, and it became the driving force behind my decision to set up the service.

​

The opportunity to go part-time in 2021 gave me the final push I needed, and that's when Midwife Miranda began.

My unique blend of midwifery, lactation and mental health skills allows me to provide a truly comprehensive and holistic one-stop shop of support for women and families from conception to early parenthood.

Services

Since qualifying with a first-class degree from Kings College London in 2014, I have worked across all areas of the maternity service, as both a community and hospital midwife covering antenatal, postnatal, and labour care.

​

I am committed to providing the highest standard of care possible and have undertaken many courses outside of the NHS to support this, including counselling and trauma intervention, hypnobirthing, and am now a qualified international board certified lactation consultant and accredited tongue-tie assessor.

​

Alongside my work with the NHS and private consultancy, I also teach group antenatal classes and lead workshops on scenario planning and how best to prepare for a positive birth. Previously I taught for The Bump Class, and I am currently part of the brilliant Four Mamas team, running pre and post-birth retreats.

Lactation Support

"I knew that I wanted to work with Miranda the minute we met. She is kind, knowledgeable and willing to help with any questions or concerns pre and post birth."

"She explained the complex topic of breastfeeding to both myself and my partner in a manner that was easy to understand and non-judgemental. I would recommend Miranda to any mothers who need an extra helping hand during an incredible but overwhelming time in those early days and beyond."
