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.

In my spare time, you'll often find me somewhere outside - either walking my 3 dogs, tending to my 5 chickens or volunteering at a community allotment. I'm also a mum of 2 lovely kids, so there's never a dull moment!

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

Bloom speaks to growth, becoming, and the unfolding of new life.
