Meet Jennifer
Hello there! I’m Jennifer, the midwife and I am very glad you’re here.
For me, midwifery isn’t just a career—it’s a calling that lives deep in my heart. With over 10 beautiful years spent witnessing the miracle of new life, I have learned that birth is a sacred rite of passage. I’ve had the honour of walking alongside families through their most transformative moments. From the bustling energy of the Rotunda’s antenatal and labour wards to the sensitive, vital care in the Emergency Assessment Unit, I’ve seen the incredible strength of women at every stage—from those first fluttering weeks of pregnancy to the tender "fourth trimester" with their brand-new little ones. In those moments my heart has always remained centred on one thing: the incredible power of the birthing woman.
My Heart & Philosophy
Trusting the body in labour
I am a fierce believer in your body, your baby, and your voice. My passion is rooted in ensuring that every woman feels empowered to reclaim her agency and lead her own pregnancy and postpartum journey. My mission is to help you peel back the layers of expectation and find the powerful intuition that already lives within you. I believe that when a woman is truly heard and supported, she can move mountains. In our space together, I am here to protect your peace and champion your right to a birth that feels like yours. I want to be the person who holds the space for you to discover your own power.
My Own Journey
My professional life is deeply coloured by my personal path as a mother of four. My own experiences shaped me profoundly:
• Homebirth Advocate: Three of my children were born in the peaceful sanctuary of our home under the expert care of Self-Employed Community Midwives (SECMs).
• Breastfeeding & Beyond: I’ve navigated the beautiful, sometimes complex world of breastfeeding with all my children, including the wonderful (and busy!) adventure of tandem feeding.
In my current role as the Clinical Midwife Manager of the Labour Ward at Mullingar Hospital, I work every day to bridge the gap between clinical safety and the soulful, empowered experience every mother deserves.
I am extremely honoured to join you on this Yoga & Hypnobirthing retreat. Together, we will create a sanctuary where you can lean into your intuition, breathe into your strength, and prepare to welcome your baby with a heart full of confidence and a voice that is uniquely yours.
Let’s prepare for this beautiful new beginning, together.
