What people are saying.

  • Carly is amazing and I’d recommend her to any soon to be parent! She empowered me with knowledge ahead of the birth of my second daughter and made me feel confident with the decisions I was making. Her reflexology session in the final weeks helped prepare my body, mind and gave me the relaxation I needed! Thank you, Carly!!

  • I have had support from Carly over two pregnancies, and her insight, knowledge and empathy is priceless. Her reflexology treatments gave me the opportunity to connect with my pregnancy in the final stages, and allowed me to have a truly relaxing experience. She has a very holistic approach and was a great sounding board for anything I wanted to discuss. I found my time with her to be invaluable and would thoroughly recommend her.

  • Carly led our antenatal course and we really enjoyed the sessions - she imparted a wealth of knowledge in an enjoyable way and gave us confidence approaching both our birth and looking after our baby, helping us to feel informed and excited. I also booked reflexology with Carly for just after our due date which was lovely - and I went into labour two days later!

    - Vicky

  • My husband and I first met Carly during our antenatal classes and instantly found her approachable, kind and so informed. For us, the most important take away was to remember to use your voice & ask for facts, alternatives and options during your labour journey. As a result, I contribute my positive birthing experience due to her advice. I have also used Carly for reflexology post labour (although my plan was to start this at 37 weeks to avoid being induced but, alas, a premature birth ruined that plan) and she is amazing! The sessions are incredibly relaxing and when I don’t fall asleep, I always love chatting with Carly. She’s a real gem.

  • I just wanted to say thank you for all your support through the antenatal course. It was fantastic and I learnt so much.

  • Carly’s advice and support during the latter stages of my pregnancy was invaluable. We met through her private antenatal classes, where she shared her expertise and perspective in a sensitive and constructive manner. She answered all of my silly questions and helped me to feel empowered and clued-up before the birth of my daughter. My local community midwives were busy, and I didn’t feel a connection in the same way as I did with Carly, so this investment was really worthwhile to me and changed my whole experience.  I also took Carly up on her reflexology sessions. Carly’s practice is entirely tailored to individuals so it was brilliant for me to enjoy the calm, but also address any practical questions as I neared the end of my pregnancy. For me, it was the perfect balance of relaxation and problem solving! I cannot recommend working with Carly enough. Her holistic approach of education, empowerment and alternative therapy worked so well at allaying my fears and anxieties and helped me to focus on my baby.

  • Carly was our pregnancy angel, she was so knowledgeable and approachable, which was so helpful when you have a million questions and very little time with your NHS midwife. I looked forward to our reflexology, as it was both deeply relaxing, and also reassuring, as a time to physically connect with the bump, as well as emotionally to check in on the pregnancy and upcoming labour. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Carly as a private midwife, reflexologist and antenatal teacher. My only concern is she doesn’t get too busy for our hopeful second pregnancy!

    - Kate

  • For me the practice of reflexology with Carly was an incredibly calming period later in my pregnancy involving 90 minutes a week of ultimate relaxation and nurture.  Beyond the reflexology itself, Carly went above and beyond with her support for us before, during and after the birth of our baby. From colostrum harvesting, baby position queries, birthing worries, meditation recommendations and even messages during my labour. No question, worry or concern was too much and Carly approached everything with a kindness, consideration and of course an in-depth knowledge that she’s built with so many years as a midwife.  We really felt in a safe space discussing anything with Carly whose wealth of experience and approach served as a huge comfort for us every week. We’ll be forever grateful!!!

  • During my 3rd pregnancy I approached Carly for some reflexology appointments as I was experiencing sciatica and SPD discomfort in my pelvis. I mainly booked these sessions in just to relax me and to be in the safe, gentle hands of a very experienced midwife. What I didn't expect was for her magic hands to eliminate my pelvic discomfort completely! I couldn't believe it. Before my first session I couldn't walk down the stairs, get into my car, or play on the floor with my children due to being in so much pain. However, the following 6 weeks after my first reflexology treatment with Carly, I felt 'fixed' and so much more like myself again. Thank you Carly for giving me moments of pure bliss and relaxation during my last pregnancy. I always felt like I was walking on clouds afterwards.

  • I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carly as a reflexologist and as a private midwife. You’re in great, safe and knowledgeable hands. We met through her antenatal course. From then on she was pivotal in my journey. At every class she checked the position of my baby as I was working hard to avoid another back to back labour and truly, if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to go back to a midwife led unit and had my dream birth (in water, two contractions, no pushing and surprise baby girl!). I saw Carly right up to almost 42 weeks for reflexology. The session always started with a 15/20 mins chat (which in reality was a therapy session!) to check in on me! She calmed me down, reassured me, worked my pressure points and always left me more ready than I had been before she came.

  • I’ve been having reflexology with Carly for years now and I can hand on heart say it’s the only time I feel fully relaxed. I had treatments before conceiving my little boy, treatments throughout my pregnancy and continue to see her for treatments as often as I can. I was nervous for my recommended induction of labour. It was great to chat this option through with Carly due to her experienced midwifery background and calming, caring nature to help me make informed decisions. I had the most positive induction birth experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. I needed no intervention and my baby boy arrived safely just under an hour after I reached established labour. I am so grateful to Carly for everything she did to help prepare my body and mind for birth, and continue to appreciate every treatment I have with her. She is one of life’s true gems and I cannot recommend her services enough.

  • I met Carly when she was running an antenatal class locally to me that I nearly didn't sign up to but I'm so pleased that I did! Carly's teaching style was warm and friendly, she encouraged us to ask questions and made it fun too, not just a lesson format. The classes were interactive, informative and perhaps most importantly, as a first time mother, really reassuring. Carly explained everything so well that I felt really calm and in control of my birth and early days as a parent.  I also attended a reflexology appointment with Carly in the week before my due date, once again I found Carly to be warm and welcoming. The treatment was so relaxing and calming and helped me to feel grounded and back in touch with myself again prior to what would be a very busy time. I truly believe that Carly's involvement in my pregnancy was really positive and of huge reassurance, even letting me text her after my son was born to ask the odd question here and there.  I would not hesitate to recommend Carly to any soon to be parents.

  • Thank you so much for all your time, help and support over the last month. You’ve been such a wonderful teacher and guide, Rich and I are so happy and grateful we were able to take part in your course.

    - Sarah

  • A BIG thank you for your invaluable knowledge in our antenatal classes. We’ve learnt absolutely tonnes and gratefully haven’t felt overwhelmed!

    - Holly and Shaf

  • Thanks to Carly for sharing so much of her experience and creating a really lovely environment. Lots of info I’ve found has been quite biased to a particular type of birth but Carly was supportive of all options and shared her experiences accordingly.
