Why book with me?
Many women receive just 3 or 4 postnatal midwife contacts within their NHS care and are often discharged from midwifery care by 2 weeks postnatal. You will have full flexibility when booking with me, so there is no limit on frequency of appointments, and all of our contacts are organised around your needs and preferences. I can offer daytime, evening and weekend appointments to suit your lifestyle, work and family commitments. All appointments take place in your home, so no need to travel or find childcare.
​
I have vast experience in postnatal care of both mothers and babies, and prioritise personalised care. I understand the challenges that often come with early parenting and can help you navigate these with practical tips, advice and support. if you have also had antenatal care from me, then we will seamlessly continue your care where we left off.

You can take full advantage of my expertise in complementary therapies, opting to add treatments into your postnatal care plan. This provides a great opportunity for relaxation & recovery and we can even do treatments during your postnatal appointments if you wish. Your baby can be with you for the duration of your treatment, and you can even have skin to skin whilst you rest. Complementary therapy treatments can help to promote lactation, release pelvic tension, ease stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality and improve circulation.
