"As independent midwives we respect and honour a woman's ability to give birth in a supportive and trusting environment"

  • We are three experienced midwives who are self employed and who have chosen to work together.
  • We aim to work in partnership with you to achieve a safe and fulfilling birth experience.
  • We offer a complete midwifery service that is research-based and fully focused on your needs.
  • We offer continuity of care so that you will know your midwives well before you go into labour.
  • We are on call to you 24 hours a day.

We are especially skilled at enabling women to birth at home as this is where the majority of women who book with us choose to have their baby.

It is evident that for many women this is where they feel most confident and where the process of birth is able to unfold in a calm, unhurried and peaceful atmosphere. The evidence is clear that for most women experiencing a normal pregnancy, this is the safest environment in which to labour and give birth. This is true for first and subsequent babies.

Our experience includes caring for women who wish to labour and birth in water, women who plan to give birth vaginally following a caesarean section (VBAC), we welcome those women who have had a difficult or traumatic previous experience whether in pregnancy, labour or the post natal period and we are fully supportive of women wanting a vaginal breech or natural twin birth.

We are all mothers ourselves, members of the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), the Independent Midwives Association (IMA) and the Association of Radical Midwives (ARM).

 

Some client quotes:

Roya... "Nothing I have done can beat the experience of giving birth to my daughter. She was born at home on my bedroom floor - I couldn't have put myself in the hands of better professionals". (VBAC at home)

Sam... "For me, using an independent midwife meant that I could be part of the decision making process. Professional care, advice and support delivered in the secure environment of my own home". (2nd baby born at home following difficult 1st birth)

Bronwyn... "Deciding to have a breech baby at home wasn't only about weighing up the risks and benefits - my midwives encouraged me to trust my instincts and listen to my body with the assurance that they would be by my side no matter what my choice". (planned breech at home)
