Private Midwifery Care
I know that when you are pregnant or have a newborn, there are times you just need that extra care, support, advice and reassurance. As a Midwife with 23 years experience in NHS maternity care - 15 years at a large tertiary teaching hospital and 8 years at a birth centre, supporting a homebirth team - I am here to provide individualised, unhurried, supportive, evidence-based care and advice throughout your pregnancy, labour, birth, postnatal and early parenting journey. I can help you find the answers you may be looking for and support you and your family in exploring the best options for your pregnancy, birth and postnatal care. I offer the time and opportunity you may feel is limited or unavailable with your NHS Midwife or Obstetrician.
My care enhances your NHS maternity care to ensure that all of your needs are met, and you and your family enjoy a positive and safe experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. I offer individual appointments or bespoke care packages, at a convenient time in the comfort of your own home.
