Parent Rep & Yoga Teacher

I decided to join so that I could represent the hundreds of women who come to my classes who don't have the time or inclination to join the MNVP meetings. I think it's essential to have a range of professionals and service users at the table. From a personal perspective, I've found that it keeps me up-to-date with what's happening in maternity care.
