Tanya Richardson
Qualified NMC & RCN
Hello mums and soon-to-be mothers!
My name is Tanya — a proud mum of two grown children and a new grandmother.
I’m a qualified midwife, NMC and RCN registered, insured, and validated, with over 21 years of experience supporting mothers, babies, and families within the NHS. After bringing my own children into the world, I began my midwifery career and have always believed it’s a true privilege to help new parents through this exciting — and sometimes overwhelming — journey into family life.
My passion lies in providing emotional and practical support during the crucial early postnatal days. I offer guidance with infant feeding, breastfeeding support, positioning, attachment, and latching, as well as combination or formula feeding as you develop your confidence. I can also support your postnatal recovery, newborn care, safe sleeping practices, and help you know when to seek additional advice — always with gentle, non-judgemental care at your pace.
My approach is kind, compassionate, professional, and calm — helping you nurture your newborn with confidence.
I provide unhurried, in-home care at a time that suits your needs. There’s no minimum number of visits required; the choice is entirely yours. I’m always happy to have an informal chat to arrange a visit, and I remain available for advice between visits should you need additional support.
I look forward to being your midwife to mum.
