Midwife and Founder of Countdown to Cuddles
Bringing confidence and calm to your birth experience.
Hi, I'm Linda.
Midwife and Founder of Countdown to Cuddles
I’m an experienced professional with over 20 years of experience, and a mum myself. With my extensive knowledge and personal experience, I bring a unique blend of warmth, wisdom, and practical advice to our workshops. My goal is to ensure you feel empowered, confident, and fully prepared for your birth journey.
As a midwife with experience in both hospital and community settings, I’ve had the privilege of supporting countless families. I’ve also served as a supervisor and had the opportunity to mentor the next generation of medical and midwifery students. Now, I work with a small dedicated team of midwives, providing care to families in Warwick.

Testimonials
"I honestly couldn't have wished for a better experience..."
“I was lucky enough to have Linda as my community midwife for both my pregnancies and she also supported with the delivery of my second. She provided me with the knowledge and reassurance throughout the whole process to feel empowered and truly cared for. After an epidural with the first birth, during the throws of labour I was ready to go down the same route but Linda calmly provided me with the alternative options and gave me the confidence to proceed without and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better experience.
She has spent her life giving every single woman the same support and I know that she will be able to in-still the same confidence through her antenatal classes as she did for me. Thanks again for all your help, Linda.”

"Thanks to Linda, I went into my elective C-section feeling confident and supported..."
“After a traumatic first birth, I was terrified. But with Linda’s unwavering support, I went from feeling completely disempowered to having a truly healing and beautiful experience with the birth of my son, Henry.
Even when the hospital told her she couldn’t see me anymore, Linda stayed by my side, fighting my corner, and advocating for my choices. She was my constant, calming presence. She challenged the doctors’ scaremongering, ensured my birth preferences were honored, and even helped minimize the number of people in the room so I could feel safe and in control.
Thanks to Linda, I went into my elective C-section feeling confident and supported. Her presence turned an overwhelming surgical procedure into a serene and personal birth. The difference was night and day. I honestly couldn’t have had this incredible experience without her.”

"Thank you for helping to shape me into the midwife that I am today!..."
“Your kindness, compassion, and belief in me was often my driving force. You kept me going at times when I felt like giving up. Thank you for helping to shape me into the midwife that I am today! I could not have got through this journey without you by my side. You are the most amazing mentor and midwife.”

"Supporting you as you welcome new life, a new beginning for you all..."
“These testimonials are from women and their partners who I have had the pleasure in supporting through their pregnancy and childbirth journey. Reading them made me feel very emotional and rekindled many lovely memories and reinforced my upmost joy of being a midwife today.
I cannot guarantee that I will be present during your labour, but I would like to believe that the time we spend together during these workshops will give you strength and positivity and the knowledge to be able to make decisions that are the right ones for you.”
