Hello, I’m Layla. I’ve been a qualified midwife (BSc Hons) since 2019 and work predominantly in the community offering antenatal and postnatal care as well as offering support to women at home births and in the hospital when required. I am a mum to three children including twin daughters and have many hobbies. These include knitting, crocheting and cake making as well as occasionally performing at open mic nights as a singer/guitarist alongside my drummer husband. I also love to spend time outdoors running and walking my dog Woody and enjoy spending time with my extensive wider family.

​

I am passionate about antenatal education and have been providing such care for the NHS throughout the pandemic in a virtual capacity. My aim has always been to empower women and their families throughout their transition into parenthood and to support their decisions in pregnancy, labour and beyond. I also pride myself on providing up to date and accurate advice and support for feeding, and caring for newborn babies as well as offering local knowledge regarding the options available in York and its surrounding areas.
