Our Philosophy Each pregnancy, birth and parenting experience is unique. It is a life-changing event both for you and your partner. Having a baby is one of the most fulfilling parts of a woman’s life cycle. As well as being a physiological process, it has an effect on every aspect of your life, including your emotional and psychological wellbeing, social and interpersonal relationships, and spiritual experiences. The whole process has a great potential for enhancing your health, by improving your awareness of your body and its needs, giving you an insight into your inherent power and creativity, and increasing your confidence in your body’s ability to function perfectly. You will never be more healthy than when you conceive, nurture and bring forth your baby.

We believe that
the process works better if you have the opportunity to be cared for by a
midwife who you know, and who knows you and your partner. If you feel safe,
supported and well cared for, your hormones will flow just right, optimising the
experience. We will provide you with two known midwives for your antenatal
care; at least one of whom will be with you during your baby’s birth. The same
midwives will support you after the birth for at least the first month. 
We have both had
the opportunity to provide one to one care to families under the NHS, and found
this way of working fulfilling and rewarding. We are excited by the opportunity
to work in the same way outside the constraints of the NHS. It is an honour and
a privilege to be able to provide this service to families, and we both feel an
enormous sense of pride in our practice.
