Hi, I am Olivia and I am a newly qualified midwife based in Suffolk. I trained at the university of Suffolk and completed my placements at west Suffolk hospital. I have trained in all areas – community, midwifery led birthing unit, labour suite and antenatal/postnatal wards. I was privileged to spend some time with private midwives during my training and fell in love with their way of working.
I have a passion for providing women with care that suits them and their family whilst making sure that they feel listened to at all times throughout their pregnancy journey and during the transition to motherhood. I believe that the transition to motherhood can sometimes be challenging but can also one of the most amazing things women can go through, and I want to support women in that. I feel blessed that I get to do this everyday.
When I’m not busy supporting women, I am either crocheting, baking or crafting! I also have two doggies that keep me busy.
