A Journey of Self-Discovery

Rebecca's path to midwifery was not a straightforward one.

The warmth, empathy, and resilience she witnessed in the community ignited a longing to make a meaningful contribution to the world.

As she embarked on her midwifery training, Rebecca discovered that the journey was as much about her own personal growth as it was about acquiring clinical skills. Through the intimate encounters with expectant mothers and the challenges of navigating the healthcare system, she uncovered hidden strengths, vulnerabilities, and a newfound sense of purpose.

With passion and determination, she advocates for a more holistic and empowering approach to maternity care, one that truly centers the needs of women.
