Dr. Rosie Knowles

Mum to two children, Dr. Rosie Knowles is a practising GP in the UK with a particular interest in holistic medicine as well as children and women’s health and perinatal and infant mental health. She began her career in hospital medicine but switched to general practice because of its flexibility with family life and the opportunities it presents to be more closely involved with communities, from cradle to grave.

She is also the Author of her book, “Why Babywearing Matters”, published by Pinter and Martin in May 2016, and has written for a wide range of publications and won several awards including:
