Hi, I’m Mary…
midwife, mother, and yogi.
I'm extremely passionate about my work and creating safe spaces for connection, guidance and support.
My midwifery practice combines traditional knowledge and skills alongside modern, evidence-based care to allow you to feel informed and held through the sacred becoming of motherhood.
With over 10 years experience working with families throughout the childbirth continuum, I am delighted to connect with you…
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers - strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
~ Barbara Katz Rothman
Meet Me.
Becoming a mother myself was an incredibly transformative experience.
Since my daughters birth, I have dedicated myself to supporting thousands of other women and families on the powerful journey to parenthood.
I initially trained as a doula in a red tent in Austria which gave me a strong foundation to go on to study Midwifery in London. After a few years of hospital based work I moved to Bristol and then focused on working between the community setting and at Cossham Birth Centre. Since 2023 I now work outside of the NHS as an independent midwife offering a range of services and support for families. I also help run the local Bristol Homebirth Group.
My work is strongly themed around holistic health and wellbeing and includes ritual, ceremony and community as key pillars in the motherhood journey.
When I’m not working you can find me wild swimming, practising yoga, out in the woods or crocheting.

The birth was amazing, transformative and full-on. I felt supported beyond what I could have imagined and also in the lead role. Thank you so much for sharing all your wisdom and confidence in birth, I could not feel more lucky to have crossed paths with you at this time in my life.
