My Focus

Family Reconnection

I specialise in compassionate skip tracing and genealogical investigation. Many of the people I work with are searching for birth parents, unknown siblings, estranged family members, or someone meaningful from their past. Whether you’re looking to rebuild a connection or simply find answers, I’m here to guide you through the process respectfully and confidentially.

My nursing and midwifery background means I bring an additional layer of empathy, discretion, and emotional care to every search. This isn’t just about locating a person — it’s about holding space for the emotions that come with that journey.
