Reflective Practice
Practitioner Sustainability
For professionals, organisations and support providers whose work brings them into contact with pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and neonatal death.
Who This Work Is For
If your role brings you into contact with women and families affected by pregnancy loss, stillbirth or neonatal death, this work is for you.
Whether you provide clinical care, emotional support, practical assistance, education, leadership, advocacy or community-based services, the way loss is recognised and responded to can have a lasting impact.
Supporting families through pregnancy loss, stillbirth and neonatal death can be deeply meaningful work, but it can also be complex, emotionally demanding and professionally challenging.
You might be here because...
You want to strengthen your knowledge of pregnancy loss and perinatal bereavement.
You want to feel more confident in the conversations that accompany loss.
You want to develop a reflective and sustainable approach to this work.

About Samantha Leggett
I’m a UK-registered nurse, postpartum midwife, educator, and researcher with more than 30 years of experience working across diverse clinical and community settings.
My work sits at the intersection of perinatal bereavement care, holistic postpartum care, reflective practice, and professional sustainability. Through it, I’ve come to recognise that how we show up matters as much as what we know.
My work is informed by a career spent supporting individuals and families through times of transition, uncertainty, and loss, bringing a deeply relational approach to both my practice and the professional education I offer.
