Hi, I’m Olivia 🌸

Olivia Vince - Midwife

It’s lovely to meet you. I’m an experienced midwife and member of the health visiting team, and a mum to a very busy toddler named Otis.
Bloom & Begin grew from my own experiences as a parent and working with families. I know first-hand how vulnerable pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood can feel, even with a clinical background. Clear, compassionate education and emotional support can make all the difference.
I provide calm, realistic, evidence-based guidance through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, helping you feel informed, confident, and empowered - whatever path your journey takes.

Guiding you with knowledge, compassion, and care

Bloom & Begin supports people from early family planning through birth and early parenthood, offering education and emotional wellbeing guidance designed to help you feel informed, reassured, and less alone.

Support is:

🤍 Compassionate and non-judgemental

🧠 Evidence-based and ethically delivered

🌱 Trauma-aware and inclusive

🫶 Parent-centred and baby-aware
