ABOUT US

Hi! I’m Rachael, a practising midwife and member of the Royal College of Midwives since 2006. My midwifery experience spans across antenatal, labour, delivery and postnatal care, within both a large NHS hospital and in the community that it serves.

MY STORY

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Rachael has been an incredible source of support and knowledge for our family. Her antenatal education classes were not only informative but also delivered with a genuine care for expectant parents. When we needed lactation and breastfeeding support, Rachael was there to guide us every step of the way, making a significant difference in our breastfeeding journey. Her commitment to the well-being of parents and babies is truly commendable. Thank you for everything, Rachael!”
Joe Windscheffel
“Rachael was a godsend to us when we were first-time parents. Our baby was not gaining weight as they should’ve, and we were trying all sorts of advice (some of them conflicting) from the people we had consulted - doctors, doulas, other IBCLCs… And nothing made sense until Rachael came into our lives. She gave us a clear path forward - to not only correct our newborn’s latch, but also to get them gaining weight. It was the first time someone had presented us with something that actually made sense. The genius of Rachael isn’t just in her ability to strategise a gameplan for parents - it’s her immense heart and love for her clients that truly sets her apart. Her ability to create psychological safety with her warmth and judgment-free approach is something to marvel at; it was exactly what we needed at the time (she also gives THE BEST hugs). Four years on, our firstborn is still nursing. In fact, we’ve been tandem nursing since our second child was born (2 years younger than our first). There is no doubt in our mind that this is only possible because Rachael came into our lives. We highly recommend any parent to engage Rachael for anything baby-related.”

“As a first time mum, me and my 5 month old baby attended Rachael’s baby massage class at the bump and baby hub. The venue was a lovely intimate space where we felt instantly relaxed and at home, Rachael made the space so inviting and calm with relaxation music and essential oils diffusing. The space was equipped with mats, fresh towels and we were given our individual bottles of oil. Rachael explained what we would be learning during the classes and the benefits of baby massage and if any of the babies had any issues which could be worked on during the classes. I felt that I learnt some valuable massage skills to create calm before bedtime and strengthen the bond between me and my baby, and to also help with digestion issues which my baby had suffered with slightly. Some of the skills we learnt also helped my baby to sleep much more soundly and longer after classes and even helped with relieving a cough/congestion that she had too. I would thoroughly recommend Rachael’s classes, she was so knowledgeable on a range of subjects from baby massage, to breast feeding and was always willing to help give advice on any questions we had as first time mums!”
