"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)
