About Me

Hello, my name is Emma Robertson and I’m an experienced UK trained Midwife who has practised in both the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK and the private sector in the UAE. 

I offer non clinical, community based support services including; Hypnobirthing Courses, Baby Massage Courses, Lactation Support and Antenatal Education Classes.

My interest in Midwifery began 24 years ago when I was holidaying in the Scottish Highlands, staying in a cottage located in the grounds of a sheep farm.

It was lambing season and the local farmer invited me to assist him in caring for his ewes in labour-I jumped at the chance and I was soon helping him at all hours of the day and night. I was “on call” for births, bottle feeding lambs and I was even cleaning out the barn. I was in awe of just how amazing labour and birth was and alas, this was the start of my midwifery journey! Although, I decided that I was going to become a midwife instead of a sheep farmer!

I went onto study for a BSc Midwifery at the University of Dundee, UK and I feel privileged to have studied and trained at such a great establishment as it is linked to excellent teaching hospitals and Midwife Led Birth Centres where I had the opportunity to learn from knowledgeable and experienced Midwives and Obstetricians.

Reflecting back on my training days as a student, until now, I have been blessed to meet many women from different social and cultural backgrounds, supporting them during times of joy and excitement and also in periods of hardship and anxiety. I have gained vast experience and I continue to learn every day. Working with women and their families at such an important time, is both an honour and a privilege, it is something truly special. Each family that I support creates everlasting memories that will stay with me forever.

I believe that pregnancy is one of the most special and life changing events that a person can experience. As a result, women and their families deserve to be nurtured, supported and to have someone who they can reach out to for reliable information and guidance.

Women should always be empowered to trust their instincts – my key role is to offer support by providing evidence-based information to aid them in making informed choices about their care, to achieve their desired birth outcomes and not those of anyone else. Women and their families are my priority and their wellbeing and happiness is what matters the most.
