A very warm welcome awaits you at my antenatal classes. I’m Whitley, a fully qualified midwife working for the NHS at Southampton Maternity Hospital and also as a public health school nurse in Dorchester.

I’m a perinatal mental health champion, trained in aromatherapy in pregnancy and labour as well as British Sign Language qualifications Level 1 and 2.

I am married to my husband Paul and I have 3 children aged 14,12 and 4 and two step children 15 and 12. We have a busy family life which I love.

My passion is to ensure every woman and family feel empowered and informed about pregnancy , birth and once the baby is here. I do so by giving them evidence based information, real life situations and educating in what to expect as a new parent. I understand that not everyone will have the same experience and that every family is different so by being open and honest in a safe environment will help people feel comfortable.

With dedication, humour and an easy going nature I hope to provide you help and support for parenthood with new friends you’ve met on the way.
