About Caron Millard
The Yummy Yoga Midwife
Hi I'm Caron, a midwife with over 38 years of experience in midwifery care. I qualified in 1990 at Birmingham Women’s Hospital, and have worked across all areas of midwifery theoughout my life including community midwifery, hospitals like Sorrento, Solihull, Burton on Trent, and Heartlands, where I was a Labour Ward Manager. I have also worked in antenatal care, postnatal care and attended many home births too.My career also took me abroad, where I worked in the Caribbean for five years and later at the Perinatal Institute as a Project Midwife.I also specialized as a Bereavement Midwife for many years too and have and still do lecture globally on all things midwifery which I love doing.
​
My lastest role was as a Legacy Midwife at Solihull, Heartlands, and Good Hope Hospitals, mentoring and supporting newly qualified midwives and sharing my knowledge to support their professional growth.
In addition to my clinical work, I have a degree in Women’s Health and hold qualifications as a Hypnobirthing Instructor, Pregnancy Yoga Teacher, Baby Massage Instructor, Mom & Baby Yoga Teacher, Baby Mombo Dance Teacher and Baby First Aid Instructor. I have been teaching safe and effective pregnancy exercise for over 35 years now and am committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all mothers and babies in my care.
I have lectured internationally on midwifery topics in countries such as South Africa, Norway, Holland, the Caribbean, and Vietnam. My passion lies in improving maternity care worldwide while providing personalized, compassionate support to families here through my classes.I also travel reguarly to West Africa where I work in and support an Orphan Baby Clinic and also teaches Student Midwives and Nurses. With the help and support of my Yummy Yoga Mummies I reguarly ship large generous donations of baby milk and baby supplies to the Wullinkmama Orphan Baby Clinic in Gambia which provide much needed help and support to many families there - all donated generously by my lovely Moms.

A Note from Me
"I started to exercise regularly when I became pregnant with my first son Tom and because I found that exercising made me feel so much betterabout myself and really helped me to cope with my pregnancy and birth, I wanted to share the benefits of it with the mothers I was caring for as a midwife, and so I decided to bite the bullet and take a course to allow me to teach Aquanatal Classes, which I did in 1993 and since then I have never looked back.
Yummy Yoga Mummies was set up in 2010 and since then hundreds if not thousands of mothers- to- be have enjoyed the benefits of yoga,hypnobirthing and all my other classes which has enabled them to enjoy their pregnancy, have lovely calm births and make life long friends... I just love teaching these classes and empowering women is my passion!"
