Meet Daisy
Hello Mama, welcome to Mama Sanctuary. I’m Daisy, a midwife with 20 years of hands-on experience supporting women through every stage of their maternity journey. My clients receive truly personalised, generous and expert maternity care that ensures they feel safe, supported, and truly empowered as they navigate the transition into parenthood. Are you ready for your transformation? Get in touch!
Midwifery is in my genes; my grandmother had been a midwife in pre-war London, and for as long as I can remember, I knew I would be a midwife too.
I trained as a midwife in the West Midlands and qualified in 2007. My career at Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust, then moved on to King’s College NHS Foundation Trust, where I’ve spent a large part of my professional life.
Over the years, I’ve worked across all areas of maternity care giving me a diverse and rich expertise. I became the Lead Perinatal Mental Health Midwife at King’s College Hospital, focusing on women dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, and other mental health challenges. I’m a qualified Perinatal Mental Health Champion with the Institute of Health Visiting, and a Sexual Trauma Champion with The Survivors Trust.
I’ve worked as a Consultant Midwife, helping women make informed choices—even when those choices fall outside typical clinical guidance. Most recently, I’ve been leading a specialist team that provides care for women in vulnerable circumstances.
I am well known for supporting women to have births which transform them; which launch them into motherhood feeling powerful, capable and in charge.
When I’m not deep in the world of midwifery, I’m a busy mum to three young daughters who definitely keep me busy! I’m also happily married, and life at home is always full of energy and love!
I’ve learned over the years is that the core needs of women haven’t changed — we all want to be heard, to have our choices respected, and to feel supported; and that during pregnancy and birth this need is amplified. Sadly, I know that for many women navigating today’s maternity services, those needs often go unmet.
That’s why I started Mama Sanctuary — to offer something different. Whether it’s a one-off consultation to complement NHS care or full Independent Midwifery support (including care during labour and birth), I’m here to provide personalised, compassionate care every step of the way.
Daisy is registered with the Royal College of Midwives, the Royal College of Nursing and Independent Midwife UK. Her practice is regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and she has full indemnity insurance covering all aspects of practice.
