“From delivering dreams… to delivering babies.”
Meet Emily Golden — a proud mum, a determined student, and now, a future midwife.
Emily’s journey started right here at Tees Valley Women’s Centre, when she made one bold decision: to return to education after time away, and pursue a career in healthcare. She enrolled on our Access to Higher Education (Health) course — and the rest, as they say, is history.
Fast forward two years, and Emily has just finished her second-year placement as a student midwife. She’s supported countless women and brought 20 beautiful babies into the world.
“I’ve been bone tired. I’ve missed my own babies. But I wouldn’t change a thing.”
It hasn’t been easy. There have been challenges, sacrifices, and long nights. But Emily’s drive and resilience have carried her through — and we couldn’t be more proud to have been part of her story.
“Tees Valley Women’s Centre gave me the chance to start this journey. Without that support, I don’t know where I’d be.”
