About us:I’m Mikayla (she/her), I live in North Birmingham with my husband, and our 2 children.
I feel called to support new families of all types, to empower them to make informed decisions that are most appropriate for their family set up.
Prior to my perinatal practice I had a varied career, which is realy helpful having the insight into different ways of working, and points of view.
I coordinate the local Cloth Nappy Library, and outside of my perinatal practice, I am an enthusiastic sewer, and I enjoy baking both without and without the children's help!

I trained with the University of Worcester and NCT to become a dual qualified practitioner - Antenatal Practitioner and Breastfeeding Counsellor. This is the only university-accredited qualification in parent education in the UK.

I am also a qualified nursery nurse, and spent some time working as a SEN support assistant using BSL (British Sign Language).
