Pregnancy and birth are among the most significant experiences of your life. My role is to provide exceptional, personalised midwifery care that is entirely centred on you.
I offer a discreet, exclusive service for women and families who value continuity, clinical expertise, and the reassurance of having an experienced midwife by their side throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. Every aspect of your care is tailored to your individual circumstances, preferences, and values.
Many of my clients choose to combine private midwifery care with their NHS maternity care. This allows you to benefit from additional time, continuity, and evidence-based guidance while retaining access to NHS services if you wish. I can accompany you to appointments, help you interpret recommendations, and ensure that your choices are fully explored and understood.
I welcome clients from across the UK and overseas and also offer a travelling midwife service for those requiring care outside my immediate area.

Antenatal care
My antenatal care is intentionally unhurried. The first appointment is a comprehensive consultation lasting approximately two hours, allowing time to understand your medical history, previous birth experiences, lifestyle, and priorities for your pregnancy and birth.
Appointments are arranged at a time that suits you, usually in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Each visit includes all appropriate clinical assessments, including blood pressure monitoring, urinalysis, abdominal examination, assessment of your baby’s growth and position, and listening to your baby’s heartbeat. I use both a Pinard stethoscope and Doppler, depending on your preferences and stage of pregnancy.
What distinguishes private midwifery care is the time available for meaningful discussion. We can explore screening options, birth planning, nutrition, exercise, emotional wellbeing, previous birth experiences, and any concerns that arise during pregnancy. I provide balanced, evidence-based information so that you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Should consultant appointments or hospital assessments be recommended, I can accompany you, providing continuity, advocacy, and support throughout the process.
I also offer private antenatal education and bespoke birth preparation in your home, tailored specifically to you and your family. Older siblings are warmly included where appropriate, helping them understand and prepare for the arrival of their new baby.
For women seeking a second opinion, I offer one-off antenatal consultations. These are particularly valuable for those considering home birth, hospital birth, birth after caesarean (VBAC), or navigating complex previous birth experiences.

Birth care
Birth should take place where you feel safest and most supported. For women with uncomplicated pregnancies, high-quality evidence demonstrates that home birth can be a safe option for both mother and baby. Equally, some women choose a birth centre or hospital birth, and my role is to support informed decision-making rather than a predetermined approach.
I have extensive experience supporting women with a wide range of circumstances, including previous caesarean birth, complex birth histories, and pregnancies that may not fit neatly within standard protocols.
I believe in individualised assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, with decisions made collaboratively and grounded in the best available evidence.
For clients receiving full continuity of care, I provide on-call availability from 37 weeks of pregnancy. When labour begins, I come to you and remain with you throughout labour, birth, and the immediate postnatal period.
My approach is calm, respectful, and centred on physiological birth whenever appropriate. Every intervention, assessment, or recommendation is discussed with you, and your informed consent remains at the heart of all care. My role is to provide skilled clinical care, continuous support, and the reassurance that comes from being cared for by a midwife who knows you well.
After your baby is born, I remain with you until both you and your baby are clinically stable, feeding is established, and you feel ready to rest. I am qualified to perform the Newborn Infant Physical Examination (NIPE), allowing your baby to receive a comprehensive examination before I leave.
For women choosing a hospital birth, I can also provide continuous labour support in a birth companion role, offering experienced emotional and practical support throughout labour and birth.
Postnatal care
The weeks after birth deserve the same attention and expertise as pregnancy itself. This is a period of profound physical recovery, emotional adjustment, and family transition, yet it is often the aspect of maternity care that receives the least time.
My postnatal care is designed to provide the continuity and support that many families find invaluable during this early stage of parenthood. Visits are arranged according to your individual needs and include feeding support, newborn care, maternal recovery, emotional wellbeing, sleep, nutrition, exercise, and practical guidance for family life.
I provide evidence-based infant feeding support, whether you are breastfeeding, combination feeding, or formula feeding, and I am particularly experienced in helping families navigate common early feeding challenges with confidence. I have the back up of qualified Lactation Consultants to support feeding challenges.
Older siblings are thoughtfully included in postnatal care, helping them develop a positive relationship with their new baby and adjust to the changing dynamics of family life.
Many clients describe this period as their babymoon, a time when expert support allows them to recover, bond with their baby, and begin family life with greater confidence and reassurance.
Investing in dedicated postnatal care can have lasting benefits for maternal wellbeing, infant feeding, and family adjustment.

Pre-conception care
Preparing for pregnancy is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your future health and your baby’s wellbeing.
During a comprehensive pre-conception consultation, I take a detailed medical and lifestyle history from both partners where appropriate. We discuss nutrition, exercise, supplementation, medical conditions, medications, fertility awareness, and factors that may influence pregnancy outcomes.
I can arrange appropriate investigations through private providers if required, and you will receive a personalised written report with evidence-based recommendations to optimise your health before conception.
This service is particularly valuable for women planning pregnancy after the age of 35, following previous pregnancy loss, previous birth trauma, fertility treatment, or medical complications in an earlier pregnancy.
