Hi, I’m Shanaz, a practising midwife, antenatal educator, mum and wife.
I have been a midwife in the NHS for 18 years and in this time I have witnessed families feeling afraid, fearful, overwhelmed and anxious about giving birth, feeding and parenthood. This is a normal reaction to such a life changing event but shouldn’t inform your experience. Yes, birth is out of your control but what you can control is how you prepare and become more knowledgable to make informed choices. I’m a strong believer that being prepared, feeling relaxed in both body and mind and having the power to make your own choices will contribute to a positive birth experience and give you the best start to your parenting journey.
I would be honoured to be a part of this journey by being your safe space, providing knowledge and education and helping you work with your team of professionals.
