Hi, I’m Valerie 👋🏾 Midwife, Nurse & founder of Serenity Baby Bloom 🌸 @serenitybabybloom I founded Serenity Baby Bloom because I don’t believe women and families should simply survive pregnancy, childbirth and the transition into parenthood. They deserve to feel informed, heard, respected, safe and supported. Serenity Baby Bloom is for all women and families. As a woman of colour myself, I also understand why representation matters and why some women can feel overlooked or unheard within maternity care. If you’re navigating pregnancy and want support that sees you as a whole person not just another appointment or number that’s the space I created Serenity Baby Bloom to be. A place to ask questions, understand your options, build confidence in your voice and feel supported alongside your maternity care. Because we prepare so much for the baby but I never want us to forget the woman becoming a mother and the family becoming parents. 🤎 If you’re pregnant, preparing for birth, navigating life with a newborn, or know someone who could use extra support, I’d love for you to connect with us at. And if you work across women’s health, maternal health or community impact, I’d love to connect too. 🤍@serenitybabybloom 🌸

I run What Are Friends For, where I interview people who aren’t necessarily in the social-media spotlight but are successful in their own fields, from childcare and writing to creative careers and grant-funded projects. The idea is to show that success looks different for everyone and that different paths can still lead somewhere meaningful. Alongside that, I’m also developing my own ready-to-drink cocktail brand. @whatarefriendsfour @whatarefriendsfour
