After suffering with PPA after the birth of my first baby and then feelings/symptoms of anxiety during my second pregnancy I was referred to this incredible service. I had an incredible experience with the MNPI service, and I can't recommend it enough. From the moment I was referred I felt heard and supported.

Alana provided a safe and non-judgmental space for me to discuss my emotions, fears, and challenges during my pregnancy. She offered personalised support, including coping strategies and resources, which made such a difference in how I managed my mental health. Alana was compassionate, professional, and genuinely invested in my well-being. I felt empowered and understood, and I’m so grateful for the care and support I received.

Deare sigmanp66

Thank you so much for making the time to provide feedback about our MNPI service. I am so pleased to hear that you found the support from Alana our specialist midwife so beneficial. It is very encouraging to hear that you felt heard, and received a professional and compassionate service as that is our goal. I will pass on your kind words to Alana and the rest of the team. I hope that you continue to keep well and I wish you all the best. Thank you again.
