My name is Verena Burns, I was born in Dresden, Germany and I have always wanted to be a Midwife. I trained in Germany and qualified there in 1991. I worked in a small hospital in the Black Forrest gaining my first experience and learning much about natural aids to normal childbirth.

In 1994 I came to England to primarily learn English. I started working in some smaller and some bigger Hospitals around the country and finally settled in Chester.

However, with so many changes in the NHS, it is becoming increasingly difficult to practice as caring and individualistic as I think every woman deserves.

As an independent midwife I can give information uninhibited by hospital policies and protocols enabling the parents to choose and decide freely what is right for them. I will support your decision and would be happy to be your advocate if a referral to a Consultant Obstetrician or Hospital becomes necessary.

I believe that parents need support and encouragement in the first few weeks after their Baby’s arrival and I will be available for you for up to 6 weeks following the birth. I am also qualified to do the Baby’s first Examination after birth.

Working closely with the other Independent Midwives and Therapists at the Holistic Birthing Centre in Northwich we can offer a wide range of options and choices.

I have seen the value of complementary therapies in Germany and like to implement them in the care that I give. I am qualified as an Aroma therapist and continue to study other valuable complementary therapies to aid normal birthing.
