I am Nikki - a midwife and mother of 2 gorgeous boys. I adore my job - and babies - so I feel very lucky to be able to support women and families on their journey to becoming parents. I believe that everyone should have all the information they need and want as they prepare to welcome a new member to their family. I want to offer parents a comprehensive understanding about birth and those first weeks with a newborn in order to reduce fear around birth and feel safe as they get to know their baby. In order to achieve this sense of emotional and practical support I regularly offer help with individualised birth planning including coping techniques for birth/labour, infant feeding and hypnobirthing techniques. I am a warm and friendly person who is creative in adapting support to suit the needs of my clients.

Following my training and work at St George's Hospital in Tooting and Kingston University I have worked in a variety of midwifery settings. Over the last 8 years I have built up a wealth of skills and experience from my work in natural birth centres, labour wards, a fetal medicine team, day assessment units, antenatal education settings, postnatal wards and in the community. I moved to Hampshire when we outgrew our London flat and I now work at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a Community Midwife. A personal achievement has been facilitating a group in Tooting called 'the Positive Birth Movement' where women would come together to talk about all things birth related and share information in preparation for birth and the postnatal period. I adore teaching The Village Midwife antenatal course to local parents and can’t wait to meet you!
