Useful Links

This page is a collation of pages I have found useful, either as a midwife, or to pass on to clients. Obviously it is by no stretch of the imagination definitive... It's  starting point, or a pausing point...or whatever you want it to be! It is an ever-metamorphisising page. Feel free to let me know if you have particluar thoughts about anything you come across here...
