Welcome to The Alternative Midwife.

Hi I am Gemma, I have had a colourful life running little home grown businesses - like decluttering peoples houses and making baby clothes, but 15 years ago I started teaching pregnancy and birth classes and workshops to pregnant families of Brighton and I have been on this journey ever since!

I went on to train as a midwife which had been quite a dream come true, I currently work as a Midwifery Team Leader in the local trust - looking after many midwives as well as families. I am a registered midwife and still work clinically when the need arises - which is always wonderful to be hands on.

In 2022 I decided to take a long course and train in Birth Trauma Resolution therapy, whilst I slowly am working to implement much more trauma informed care within my NHS job, I really have found my purpose when working one to one with a person privately to help change their trauma symptoms that greatly impact their lives.

Please take a further look around my website for more details or I always welcome a chat in the first instance to see if we connect - what’s app, email, text me and I will get in touch.

Hope to meet you soon. Gemma x
