Who I am
Hi, I’m Helly - an independent midwife supporting families across Norfolk and Suffolk.
I became a midwife because I wanted to advocate for birthing people and support them to make informed, evidence-based decisions about their care.
Pregnancy, birth and early parenthood are powerful, life-changing experiences, and everyone deserves to feel heard, respected and supported throughout their journey.
My approach to midwifery is inclusive, trauma-informed and person-centred.
I strive to create calm, supportive spaces where you feel safe asking questions, exploring your choices and moving at your own pace.
Where I work & the care I offer
I provide independent midwifery care across Norfolk and Suffolk, including Norwich, North Norfolk, coastal communities, Thetford, Great Yarmouth and Ipswich.

Why Salt & Bloom Midwifery
The name Salt & Bloom Midwifery reflects the rhythm and depth of the journeys I am honoured to support.
Salt speaks to the earth and the sea - steady, vital and ever-changing, like the tides of creation.
Bloom speaks to growth, becoming, and the gentle unfolding of new life in all its forms.
Together, they tell a story of strength and softness, grounding and transformation. It is a reflection of birth, and of the people I care for.
Outside of my work, I find joy in the simple things: baking something sweet, walking my three dogs, or escaping into nature in my tiny caravan.
