About us

Franki

I am a band 6 midwife working within an NHS trust in South-East England, I have been qualified for 4 years now and enjoy my job every day - I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else! However, there are certainly some things that I would like to change in the world in which I work, some practices I would like to never see again, some phrases I'd like to be left in the past and some new ones to be implemented in our every day vocabulary.

More so than anything else I want every woman and birthing person to feel empowered with their choices and in control of their birthing experience. It is this dream that has helped to initiate the My Birth My Rules campaign, the passion and drive to ensure every family has the most informed, enjoyable, empowering pregnancy journey possible; for every woman and birthing person to feel supported and informed enough to self advocate and have a thorough understanding of their rights is paramount.

Following the pilot scheme of these workshops, I have discovered just how beneficial these skills are for both our practice and general day to day life. Language is something that is changing every day and it is important that we are open minded enough to allow ourselves to grow and evolve with it.

I am so excited to be a part of this change and hope to inspire as many people as possible to join me in doing so.
