Hey, I’m Marie Louise, best known as The Modern Midwife online
I’m an experienced midwife of more than 12 years and mum of two. 
I am passionate about supporting parents throughout their journey with lots of advice on my Instagram, online courses I’ve created from my professional and personal experiences, and of course my books, published by Penguin. 
I know this can be a really overwhelming time, so it’s really important to me to help parents understand all the important information in a simple way (no clinical jargon or complicated scientific data here!)
With the right support, things will become clearer and easier. It’s crucial that you are informed – and that’s what I am here for!
