Having a baby is a very precious and vulnerable time, Midwife Pat was incredibly empowering during our journey. Warm professional and with much needed humour and encouragement (I would like to apologise for nearly breaking her hand in the final push) Her support helped bring our beautiful baby into this world in a happy environment.
She also provided invaluable support before and after labour.
We love you Pat
Laura, Iian and baby S
Pat is a wonderful midwife with many years of experience and 7 of her own grandchildren. She is a calming presence and a great knowledge of anything to do with babies from breastfeeding to burping techniques to soothing massage for colic. Her help and guidance was invaluable during those scary newborn days, and I still ask her for advice about my 10 month old.
I couldn't of got through those first few weeks without Pat, another mother to me, beautiful inside and out
Pat has been invaluable to me, she has seen me through every stage so far with my little boy and will continue to do so. I am not without support from family and friends but too much advise can be overwhelming. Pat has enabled me to listen to one voice and therefore I haven't been confused at any point, and am constantly told how content my little baby is and I owe that to Pat
When I found out I was pregnant with our second child, she was probably the first person I called. Before the baby was even born, What more can I say.
Pat recently returned to help us with our second child (after helping through the birth of the first) Pat is genuinely the most knowledgable person I know when it comes to birth, breastfeeding and pregnancy (and any lumps and bumps you may have).
She also offered great assistance with helping our babies sleep through the night.
Pat is knowledgable and reassuring. Her approach is gentle and natural. Both our children are well rested and very happy.
Pat is hands down the best midwife/expert on all things birthing and babies
Pat was a life saver for me at the time when I needed a wise, experienced, 'no nonsense' advisor the most.She gave me the confidence that I lacked and I am using some of her tips to this day ( baby E is 1 year)
Pats strength is her evidence based technical knowledge backed by her wealth of practical experience.
I cannot recommend her enough
We met Pat when I had my first daughter. Pat was quite simply fantastic. Her simplistic and direct approach can only come from her years of experience. She helped me gain so much confidence in the simple things which made the difficult ones that much easier. I can honestly say she was a guiding light in one of the most beautiful but challenging times of my life....and all that with a fantastic sense of humour
Where do I start? I literally could not have got through the fourth trimester with our Pat.
Pat was invaluable with her knowledge and skills in helping me settle my baby, create a routine, show the basics and help support me.
It's so vital new mums get the help they need.
I can not recommend Pat enough she is literally like family and we send her to everyone we know.
The fact my baby is a happy, settled baby in a great routine is all down to Pat
