Choosing a midwife was an important decision for me and so glad I made the right choice with Kelly. ‘Trust’ is such a huge requirement in a midwife as not only is it your own health but the health of your baby in someone elses hands. ‘Trust’ is exactly what we got.

I had complications throughout my pregnancy but Kelly was always cautious and if there was any doubt with any test she would always ensure it was followed up to make sure my health and our babies health were never at risk.

The labour was not text book and I was too sick to remember some parts but know I was never once scared as I completely trusted Kelly and knew she would make sure that myself and our baby were safe. My husband remembers how in control and professional Kelly was referring us onto the Doctors for an emergency caeserean when things were not progressing. Kelly visited every day in hospital and when I was readmitted 10 days later, her smiley face always put me at ease.

Kelly has a wealth of knowledge and throughout the preganancy would give us pamphlets, recommend us books on breastfeeding etc so we felt we were beginning our journey as informed parents.

Kelly’s follow up care after the labour was amazing. She was so patient with teaching breast feeding, caring for Breanna and she use to answer lists of questions I would save up for her visit and not once did she make me feel silly for asking anything.

I highly recommend Kelly to anyone. She is a very kind, caring and compassionate person who is truely passionate about her job. A job which I noted can be very emotionally draining when dealing with a number of woman at one time whose hormones are running rampant!! The passion she has for her chosen career shines through with her bubbly personality and sense of humour she has in ensuring that first time parents really get her undivided attention.

Thank you Kelly for being on the journey with us to bring our gorgeous daughter Breanna into the world. It was a wonderful partnership and a first time experience I will always treasure. I can’t wait to have you deliver our future babies.

May your future be full of laughter, love and one day your own bundles of joy!

Love Leesa, Scott and Breanna xx

Kelly’s name was mentioned to me by a friend so I went for a hunt online and found her on here. I like the look so I decided to go and meet her. From the moment we sat down (albeit briefly) I felt comfortable and knew that she was “the one”. She was open and honest with me right from the start and was great at putting my nervous first time mum mind to ease. Once I went into labour Kelly was great. She came and saw me at home to check on me. Once we got up to hospital she was actually already there with another lady but came and examined me and explained that she’d have to call her back up. Luckily for me Kelly was able to make it a lot sooner than she thought. She was also great after we came home and was always on the end of the phone and never made you feel guilty about ringing in the middle of the night. I will most definitely be having Kelly again for my next and recommend her to all my friends.

Funny enough i was given julies name as a midwife and she wasnt able to take me on so KELLY came to the rescue.
From the first time meeting her hayden and i liked her and decided to stick with her. she ended up being a fab midwife. she is very caring and supportive and i really enjoyed our visits ( lots of laughs ).

jack was born on the 15th july 2009 weighing in at 8 pnds 5. it was an interesting experience for me being a first time mum but over all i enjoyed it. ( now thats its all over ).

We were so lucky to have Kelly as our midwife for the birth of our son Fletcher in November.

Kelly is amazing at what she does. She is great with people and worked with us in her completely natural, approachable and supportive way.

We felt completely informed at all times, especially when things started to get complicated! Kelly provided the information and encouragement we needed to make informed choices about pregnancy, birth and parenting and regularly went above and beyond the call of duty.

More than anything she was a huge contributor to an enjoyable pregnancy and retaining our sanity in those first few weeks. I always looked forward to appointments and visits and appreciated how inclusive she is with Dads.

We had to choose a caesarean birth in the end, but had I gone into labour there is no one else I would have wanted by my side! All in all, we have a very happy and healthy baby boy which is in no small part due to the care Kelly provided.

Thanks for all the effort you put into your work Kelly, couldn’t have done it without you!
