Hi! My name is Lisa, I am a midwife based in Worcestershire community with over a decade of delivery, antenatal and postnatal experience. I am also a sling consultant, starting solids facilitator and antenatal education teacher. I have 10+ years of hospital midwifery experience and 2.5 years of community experience. I have facilitated many births of all kinds from homebirths to waterbirths to inductions to assisted and caesarean deliveries. I have 3 children, one young boy and two teenage girls and have personally experienced a range of births so I really understand it!
My current role involves antenatal care, home birth and postnatal care in a community setting. I am passionate about preparing women/birthing people and their birth partners for labour, birth and their new arrival. The Village Midwife course is perfect for this and I love teaching it, thus preparing families for all eventualities without the frustrating constraints of a busy NHS environment. As an antenatal course client, you get my ongoing support for the duration of the pregnancy and postnatal period as long as you need it - I am always happy for a chat about any issue you may be having. I also offer one-to-one support for birth planning, feeding support or anything else you may need.
I am also a trained sling consultant so include slings and carriers in the antenatal course and also do a session on the postnatal course which people find very helpful. The postnatal course is lovely to come along and have a weekly catch up with a different focus each week covering postnatal mental health, feeding, sleep, baby massage, postnatal recovery, slings and carriers. I also offer add on sessions of infant first aid and starting solids - we have a lot on for Worcester parents!

“My husband and I attended the antenatal course in the Worcester area with midwife Lisa. The course was so so helpful and informative and defiantly worth our while attending. Lisa is a brilliant midwife and her teaching has really widened our knowledge and understanding on the whole pregnancy journey and allowed us to feel a lot more comfortable and at ease with the choices to make. We also got to meet 5 other lovely expectant couples and it’s great to hear their thoughts/experiences too on their journeys.
We would highly recommend Lisa’s courses to any other expectant mommy’s and daddy’s to be as you really do get so much out of it. No question is ever looked over and Lisa is also there to help after the course via phone should you need.
Thank you Lisa, we shall definitely be back for the postnatal course!”
“We recently attended the course in Worcester with Lisa, she was very informative and helpful, she gave us lots of useful information exploring all different aspects of childbirth and postnatal care while reminding us that everything was our choice.
She really made us feel at ease and we ended the course filled with confidence going into the next chapter of our lives.”
“Just finished our antenatal course with Lisa and it was super helpful and informative. Lisa is very approachable and I feel supported going forward with all the knowledge gained. I struggled to find any local courses for parents of twins so booked in with Lisa and she made sure to give us extra information about how my twin delivery may differ etc. Also during a baby wearing/sling session she made sure me and my partner were not only able to use a stretch wrap for 1 baby but how to use it for 2! Thank you so much Lisa, see you for the postnatal sessions when the twins arrive!”
