Hello, I'm Sophie!

​​

I am an NHS Midwife and Mother of one.

​

I began my Midwifery training in 2014 and qualified in 2017, where I have practiced within the NHS since. I have worked in a fast paced maternity unit in North West London up until I relocated to the North West of England in 2019, where I have since worked in a South Manchester based hospital, to then working as a Community Midwife since 2020.

​

Since becoming a Community Midwife, I have been a part of a case-loading team where I have the fortunate opportunity to care for women and their families from the early stages of pregnancy up until the final point of discharge during the postpartum period. Alongside this, I am a part of the on call home birth and birth centre team. This is where I discovered the wonderful world of hypnobirthing. I have been lucky enough to witness a number of beautiful births that have been calm, straightforward and positive. This is when I decided I wanted to learn more about hypnobirthing and became a qualified hypnobirthing teacher with KGH (Katherine Graves Hypnobirthing) at the start of 2023.

​

In May 2024, I became a Mummy to a beautiful little girl and I couldn't wait to finally put my hypnobirthing skills to practice. Of course, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious about the fact that as a Midwife I was about to be "on the other side" and I was going to experience labour and birth. So I knew I needed to really focus on getting into that positive mindset to prepare me for what was ahead. I felt calm and in control and I feel that hypnobirthing all hugely contributed to my birth. My passion is for women and their birth partners to feel at ease around the topic of birth and my aim is to help eradicate that fear and tension around this. But not only this, I want women to feel in control of decision making surrounding their pregnancy, baby and their birth.
