I am based in York and can cover all of Yorkshire and a fair distance beyond.

Pregnancy

I provide full pregnancy care or one-off appointments, birth planning sessions and appointments to explore your previous birth. I can also accompany you to hospital appointments to act as your advocate and a sounding board if you wish (as long as Covid allows). If you have booked full care, I usually see you monthly from booking, every two weeks from 32 weeks and then weekly from 36/37 weeks. None of this is set in stone, sometimes visits will be more frequent and sometimes less frequent, always according to your needs.

Birth

I can support your birth either in your home as your midwife or in the hospital as a non clinical birth supporter. I am on call for you from 37 weeks onwards until your baby is born, whenever and however that might be.

After Birth

I offer a very comprehensive postnatal package of care. I will generally see families daily in the first week after birth, then every other day for a little while, and then spacing visits according to your needs until you are ready to be discharged from my care, which is usually around 8 weeks after birth. I also offer one-off support appointments for clients who have not booked full care or appointments to explore any previous births.

Other Offerings

I can also help you get started with baby wearing or visit to help you establish breastfeeding as a one-off consultation.
