Pregnancy can bring excitement, uncertainty and questions you did not know you would have. I offer independent midwifery care with time to get to know you, listen to what matters and help you feel supported as you prepare to meet your baby.
Talk to me about your pregnancy
You do not need a finished birth plan or all the right words. We can start with your hopes, your worries and the things you would like to feel more confident about.
Every pregnancy is different. This might be your first baby, or you may be carrying memories of an earlier birth. Getting to know one another gives us space to talk about those experiences and what you would like this time.
Appointments take place in your own home, with time to ask questions and include your partner if you wish. Together, we can explore your choices and prepare in a way that feels right for you.
I am a registered midwife, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a tongue-tie practitioner, so we can think about feeding and the weeks after birth from the beginning too.
My complete care package begins with a two to three hour booking appointment. We talk through your history, your needs and your preferences, and begin building your personalised care plan.
Home antenatal appointments give us time to check in, talk through birth and feeding, and return to questions as your pregnancy progresses.
Whether you are considering birth at home or in hospital, we can discuss your circumstances and the support I can offer alongside your chosen maternity team.
Your recovery, your baby’s wellbeing and finding your way with feeding are part of the journey. My complete package continues through the first six weeks after birth.
Seeing the same midwife means you can build on each conversation. You have someone who knows your story as your needs change.
Monthly appointments until 28 weeks, fortnightly until 36 weeks, then weekly until birth. We make time for birth preparation, feeding preparation and your questions along the way.
On-call support as you approach birth. We agree how your care will work, whether you are planning a home birth or support alongside your chosen unit.
Postnatal care for you and your baby, with specialist feeding support, newborn wellbeing assessments and screening, and tongue-tie assessment where appropriate.
You do not have to choose a full package to get in touch. A one-off antenatal appointment can give us space to talk through your questions, prepare for birth or explore feeding before your baby arrives.
Tell me what you are looking for and where you are in your pregnancy. We can discuss what would be useful and my availability, without pressure to decide before we have spoken.

I care for families in Maidenhead and nearby Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Whether you are planning ahead or still exploring your options, you are welcome to get in touch. If you live a little further away, please ask.
