Miriam is an awesome mummy to her superhero son and a charge midwife on labour ward in Edinburgh.
She has loved working as a midwife in London and Edinburgh for the past 15 years. She has always had a powerful belief in the rights for women and families to have the best possible pregnancy and birth for them. Through her own experience of trauma, both personal and professional, she understands the debilitating effect trauma can have on anyone. She brings this insight to her dedication to supporting recovery and resolution. Miriam is currently on sabbatical from her practise.
