A Brief History Of My Work
Thought Leadership & Speaking
I’ve been invited to speak at leading events such as The London Baby Show, numerous Maternal Health Conferences, and The Multiple Matters Symposium. I’ve sat on panels, guested on podcasts, and been featured in national media including BBC, Channel 4, Grazia, Metro, HuffPost, Mother & Baby, and more.
I’m also the author of Midwife Marley’s Guide for Everyone and co-author of Birthing with Davina McCall — two books that amplify my voice in the maternal health and parenting space. Beyond this, I’ve created and led courses for antenatal educators and written a specialist programme on marketing to mums for baby businesses.
Consultancy & Brand Support
Over the last five years, I’ve partnered with pregnancy and baby brands in a variety of ways:
- Developing collaborative social content that parents genuinely engage with.
- Providing copywriting and content review to ensure messaging is ethical, evidence-based, and parent-focused.
- Delivering advisory and consultancy support that has helped brands course-correct when campaigns missed the mark. (One brand in particular faced backlash after publishing content against health guidelines — I stepped in to help them rewrite their messaging before lasting damage was done.)
I also run workshops and training programmes for marketing and sales teams, helping non-parents understand the emotional and practical realities of parenthood so they can better connect with their audience.
Expanding Into Women’s Health Tech & Business Development
I’ve also worked with two innovative women’s health tech companies in their business development teams, gaining hands-on experience in sales, partnerships, and marketing processes. This gave me a strong foundation in corporate operations and sharpened my ability to help brands grow strategically.
In addition, I am the founding midwife of NowBaby, an antenatal course company with a large community presence and an advertising screen network in maternity units across the UK. This role has given me unique insight into how both healthcare providers and commercial brands communicate with expectant families.
Why Work With Me
Few consultants can bring together:
- Clinical expertise from working with thousands of parents in maternity care.
- Business acumen from building and selling successful parenting ventures.
- Audience insight from growing multiple large-scale platforms and communities.
- Personal experience as a mum of five, living the reality of modern parenthood every day.
I know what parents want, what they need, and how they think. I also know how easily brands can lose trust if they get their messaging wrong — and how powerful it is when they get it right.
That’s why working with me is more than consultancy: it’s your shortcut to authentic, ethical, and effective engagement with one of the most influential consumer groups in the world.
