PERSONAL PREGNANCY

SUPPORT SERVICES

I offer a FREE initial 10 minute consultation in order to assess your needs

All consultations can be arranged over the phone, via video call or in person*

Support with a complex health need

During this 90 minute session I can help you make sense of a specific medical requirement or if you are unsure on how best to proceed with your healthcare and need to take a deeper dive into your options

Creating a birth plan / Birth preparation

This 2 hour session either at your home or over video chat offers an opportunity to thoroughly explore your birth options, discuss the process of labour, mobility, alternative pain management, medical pain management and induction of labour if this is being offered to you.

3 Step Rewind

It could be months or even years since your last birth, you might be pregnant or considering another pregnancy and have reservations or fears following a previous birthing experience.

This 3 Step Rewind can help you to come to terms with a previous challenging birth so that you can find peace again and you can move forward with a more positive outlook.

Birth reflections

In this 90 minute session we can go through your birthing journey, helping to process the events. This can be done as a couple or individually.

I also offer a ‘Daddy Debrief’, for dads to have the opportunity to speak freely about their experiences of the birthing process and adjusting to fatherhood.

The soulful community

Have you found yourself feeling isolated in your pregnancy?

Not able to contact your midwife when you have those niggling questions?

Join The Soulful Community, where you'll have exclusive access to an experienced, holistic midwife to ask all those burning questions, be part of a community of a small group of women at a similar gestation to yourself, have a once monthly Q&A with

The Soulful Midwife

And Much More!

I would describe the services that I offer as a ‘Top-Up’ for the routine care system. I fully appreciate that it is not feasible for many women to afford a full package of care with an independent midwife and therefore I am able to offer a supplementary service to help you navigate the NHS to have a more educated, empowered and positive pregnancy, birth and beyond!

*Please note, for home visits there is a small charge for fuel, at 50p per mile. I can travel up to 1 hour from my home, in North Manchester, M45

PERSONAL CARE AND SUPPORT THROUGHOUT YOUR PREGNANCY

The current NHS system has become a process based form of care, designed to treat a population, rather than taking the time to care for each individual.

Sadly, as much as the midwives want to support you to birth your baby, your way, they are often stuck within the constraints of the system and the policies.

Working in this way, I quickly became aware that I was not able to provide the true support that people deserve and need. Unfortunately the system is too big to be changed by anything other than a huge overhaul, so it comes down to each individual to demand better care, and to know their rights.

Having this inside knowledge, I am able to provide true education, support and advice to help you navigate the NHS, so that you can have the experience that you want; safely and without pressure

PERSONALISED BIRTH SUPPORT AS IT SHOULD BE

The journey from deciding to expand your family, through conception, pregnancy, birth and beyond should be a truly magical experience for everyone. While modern medicine has been a marvel in life saving technology, increasingly it is interfering with provision of maternity care, which should be predominantly promoting ‘normality’.

Bringing a baby into the world should be an uninterrupted, instinctive process which is only occasionally in need of medical assistance, as opposed to the current system treating pregnancy and birth as a medical condition.

This intervention, in addition to what you see in the movies, has installed fear in many, and laid down an expectation of a hospital room, medication and the presence of a medical team to help you through your very special time. This has resulted in many traumatic births, much unnecessary intervention and women are becoming less in tune with their intuition to birth naturally.
