I trained at the University of Milan, then spent years in NHS community midwifery in Brighton. The NHS gave me so much &#8211; clinical experience, working with diverse families, understanding systems from the inside.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">But it was working alongside experienced independent midwives in Italy that taught me what&#8217;s possible when you give women time and trust their bodies. Birthing my own two babies at home deepened that knowing. Training in bodywork and nervous system practices &#8211; craniosacral therapy, biomechanics, somatic work, birth trauma support &#8211; shaped how I hold space now.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Rise Midwives was born from a partnership with Nelly &#8211; two midwives hungry to practise the way we knew was possible &#8211; with time, with presence, with trust at the centre. Nelly is currently on maternity leave, living her own fourth trimester.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Most of the time, my work is quiet. I stay out of the way. When skill is needed, I use it &#8211; but birth works best when women are trusted, not managed.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">We serve

take over your journey.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I don\u2019t run your pregnancy or direct your birth. My role is to stay alongside you and protect the conditions your body needs to do what it already knows how to do. Most of the time, that means less interference, not more. Paying attention. Waiting. Trusting the process as it unfolds.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Time is the intervention most women are never given<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum each have their own rhythm. They don\u2019t respond well to being rushed or squeezed into timelines that don\u2019t belong to them. I work at the pace your body sets, without pressure to move things along for the sake of a system. Time creates space for trust to grow, for questions to surface, and for your body to soften into the work it is doing.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">I read bodies, not just charts<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I use evidence and clinical knowledge, and I don\u2019t rely on numbers alone. I don\u2019t just read results. I pay attention to you, your body, your responses, and how you are experiencing this. I notice how you move, how you breathe, and how things shift over time. Both the clinical picture and the lived, embodied one matter, and my role is to hold them together.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">One relationship changes everything<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This work is built on relationship. You don\u2019t meet me for the first time in labour. We get to know each other over months, so I understand your history, what has shaped you, and what helps you feel safe enough to open. Your partner knows me too. That continuity changes how supported you feel and how birth is lived, not just how it unfolds.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">That is the foundation I work from. Presence. Attention. Relationship. Care that adapts to you, rather than asking you to adapt to it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-793faa2a

YOU Tell them when YOU ARE READY.\n\nBecause here\u2019s what the research actually shows about timing and why it matters more than most people realise.\n\nAt 1 minute, your baby receives about 50% of their cord blood. At 3 minutes, around 90%. \n\nSo when someone clamps at 1 or 2 minutes and calls it delayed, your baby just missed almost half of what was theirs.\n\nI\u2019VE SEEN CORDS STILL FULL OF BLOODS AT 5 MINUTES AND PULSATING FOR EVEN LONGER and do you know why?\n\nBecause we are all different and we don\u2019t follow guidelines, research, timelines,\u2026. Your baby might take longer or shorter or you might feel strong about a specific timing. \n\nYou don\u2019t have to accept someone else\u2019s timeline.\n\n\u2b50\ufe0fYou can say: we\u2019re waiting to cut the cord until I say so.\u2b50\ufe0f\n\n\ud83d\udc49To know when all the blood has gone back to your baby: You will notice that the cord stops pulsing, if you feel it in between your fingers and  and goes limp and white, with no more blood in it (sometimes it still pulsating even then). \n\nTBH with you : You can just hold your baby and wait.\nThere is NO emergency or urgency in those minutes. Just your baby transition to their life earth side and preparing to separate (and you too of course) after a long journey together (9+ months) that is  BIG right?????\n\n\ud83d\udc49\ud83d\udc49\u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udd25If you are done following other people time lines during pregnancy, birth and beyond, reach out and lest start the conversation to plan midwifery care YOUR terms. \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udd25\n\nDid you now that you can also have lotus birth where you never cut the cord, or have a burning ceremony instead of using scissors.. curious?
