About Verona:

l am a midwife with experience of working within the NHS and the private sector. Before becoming a midwife I worked as a registered general nurse for over 7 years.

I qualified as a midwife in Coventry in 1996, where I worked for 3 years before coming to London. I was employed as a caseload midwife in Greenwich where I performed water births and home births. Since January 2001 I have worked at a wonderful private birth unit in St Johns Wood.

As an accredited Lactation Consultant I can help with breastfeeding. I am also a Reiki practitioner and use Shiatsu techniques to help mothers throughout their pregnancy, labour and delivery. I use homeopathic and herbal remedies to help the timely progression of labour. I am a Midwife and Lactation Consultant with a history of providing high quality care. As an Independent midwife my aim is to make your special time even better, with personalised one to one care. I run Preparation for Birth classes, Father’s only sessions, Baby massage courses and workshops in Breastfeeding, Homebirths & Water births, Newborn resuscitation and First Aid.

I have just completed an HypnoBirthing training course, so will also be providing HypnoBirthing classes later in the year.
