Who I AM
Your Instant Midwife
Phillipha
I bring over 18 years of midwifery experience and a deep belief that every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, and confident throughout her pregnancy journey.
I qualified as a midwife in 2011 and have since built a practice rooted in holistic, empowering care. Trained in hypnobirthing, hypnotherapy, Reiki, and aromatherapy in pregnancy, I bring a gentle, whole-person approach to everything I do. As a mum of four and grandmother of two, I know firsthand that the journey into motherhood isn't always straightforward. Having navigated postpartum depression myself, returned to study as a single parent to four children, and balanced the demands of home and work life with determination, I bring a depth of personal understanding that goes far beyond clinical training. That lived experience is woven into everything I do.
When I'm not working, you'll find me on the dancefloor — salsa is my creative outlet and my freedom, a passion that reflects the same joy and expressiveness I bring to my practice. My love of research, languages, and travel means I'm always learning, always curious, and always bringing something new to the women I support.
I created My Instant Midwife to make expert midwifery support accessible to every woman, wherever she is and whenever she needs it.
MIM is an acronym of My Instant Midwife — but it means a little more than that. My grandson Oscar called me Mimmy when he was small, and as he grew, it became simply MIM. A name born from family, worn with pride, and now at the heart of everything I do.
I can't wait to walk alongside you.
