Emma Gledhill, RM

I trained as nurse and midwife at St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London, in the late 1980's and then worked in several London teaching hospitals, a rural hospital, and a birthing centre, before uprooting my 3 boys and moving to Canada. I have done a diploma in Aromatherapy massage, taught baby massage, cycled through S.E. Asia, worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, taught English in Japan, and have a first degree in Zoology. I love cross country skiing, canoeing and the wild beauty of Canada. What inspires me is the women and babies I am lucky enough to work with and the wonder and transformation of birth.
