Jane Bamford

I was an NHS Midwife for 22 years. My self and my husband’s journey to parent hood wasn’t easy. We had 3 rounds of IVF/ ICSI, none of which resulted in a successful pregnancy. In the midst of this my Mum suddenly died. We then went on to go through the interesting adoption screening process and a year later adopted our son and daughter. For the past ten years we have therapeutically supported them and attended many years of therapy sessions with them. When I went to work in the Antenatal Clinic of the Hospital in which I had worked for a long time I recognised a need for real support for perinatal anxiety, birth trauma and injury, miscarriage, fertility journeys and tokophobia. I decided to undertake training in these areas and connect my personal experience of therapy with my experience as a Midwife.
