Hello, my name is Krishinda Powers-Duff, and I am a former NHS midwife living and working in Barcelona as a Holistic Midwife, bringing all my years of experience, knowledge and wisdom to support families on their pregnancy, birthing and postnatal journey.
Normality in birth is my passion and I have spent over 15 years supporting beautiful families to birth with confidence in the setting they prefer, be it, at home or in the hospital, with love, dignity, and respect.
It has been my pleasure to support some of my families for their first, second and even third births and I have become one of the best-known and most loved Midwives in the ex-pat community during my time working within the system as a registered midwife. And though I no longer work within the system, I am still giving loving and respectful support to the families who choose to work with me.
I have a great passion for birth education and teach intensive preparation classes that educate and empower you to feel confident in your birthing and postnatal choices.
My classes are deeply informative and based on the physiology of birth, the postnatal period, the neonate and breastfeeding. This gives parents an in-depth understanding of; how birth works, and what can hinder it replacing their fears with confidence and empowerment.
I am a breastfeeding super nerd and have a 97% success rate for the women I support, whom many continue to feed their babies for years.
I know that one to one support is the key to having a positive; pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience and I am always there to give this support to my clients.
Having worked both in hospital and home birth I pride myself on being a truly holistic birth worker giving you that extra care and support needed as you move through the medicalised maternity system or make alternative choices.
I work outside of the standard system so that I can give support to women who choose to give birth in ways that are considered alternative.
This means that though I was trained in the NHS to be a Midwife, and once carried Spanish registration I am no longer registered here in Spain or the UK any longer. This allows me to work with women and families in a way that I feel is deeply holistic and women-centred. Choosing to work in this way been a journey for me, but I deeply believe that every woman should have the right to choose where and how she wants to give birth and that the art of midwifery is much more than a clinical role.
For me, to be a ‘true midwife’ is to support a woman’s autonomy and choices with non-judgmental respect.
So here I am, arms wide open, full of experience and confidence in a woman’s ability to birth in normality and in her own unique way. I support women and birthing people from all over the world and am happy to support you with my bespoke one-to-one care walking alongside you on your journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
