Meet the Team

Olivia Houlihan, Franchise owner, brings over a decade’s experience as an NHS midwife. Having supported families through some of life’s most tender moments, she knows that truly comprehensive care begins with seeing the person behind the needs. That person‑centred philosophy informs every aspect of the Harlow & Epping branch.

Patrick Houlihan, Franchise owner, complements Olivia with his background in financial planning. His focus on trust, transparency, and tailored solutions has been integral in developing a rigorous, nurse-led approach to recruitment, training, and care delivery .
