Hi 👋🏼 My name’s Ash, I trained at the University of Worcester, and I’m the newest member of the Ruby Team.
What I love most about Continuity of Care is meeting someone exactly where they are when growing their family - listening to what they’re thinking and how they’re feeling, then providing care for the whole journey. Being welcomed into someone’s home at such an important time is a privilege. And I agree with Jo - our toddler helpers are a joy! Maybe the Ruby Team are secretly recruiting the next generation of midwives?!
My midwifery passion is advocating for more inclusive care. Since qualifying, I’ve co-authored an article on improving the language we use, presented at different universities on diversifying infant feeding support, produced a “best practice” surrogacy guide, and written a textbook chapter on caring for LGBTQ+ families experiencing pregnancy loss.
In my free time, you’ll find me at the gym failing to get hench, with my family walking our dogs, or speaking truths that sometimes rhyme on a poetry open mic! ❤️
