North Yorkshire Midwife
Philosophy of Care
The aim of my service is to ensure both women and their partners/families get the highest quality of clinical midwifery care alongside some really lovely individualised holistic support.
I provide Gold Standard Continuity, and all of my clients have said they enjoyed their pregnancy feeling safe, calm, extra special and listened to throughout.
My packages provide you not only with the very best and safest care, but you will also gain increased knowledge and antenatal education around your changing body, growing baby and all the ways you can better prepare for a positive labour, birth and beyond.
I offer Hypnobirthing tuition, Birth Preparation, Infant feeding education, Holistic treatments and Biomechanics for optimising fetal position, all as part of your care package.
I will help you feel confident at making evidence based, informed decisions that are right for you. So that you feel empowered, less anxious, and in complete control of your childbirth journey. (No Birth Trauma here!)
I provide a service that is very Personal, Individualised and Holistic, whether it be in a hospital setting or at home.
The choice is yours.
Choosing a package of care with me means you get me as your Midwife throughout. You won't see lots of different midwives who might not know you and your baby! We get to know each other really well, and that continuity is what makes this service so safe and wonderful (so say all the women I work with). I also employ a 2nd (back up) Midwife, should you choose to birth at home, who will attend alongside me, ensuring you have two experienced health care professionals by your side, providing care in labour.
You still have the option of having all NHS scans, any hospital appointments or Obstetric Dr input, which I can help arrange for you. Any routine tests that the NHS offer you still get to have, exactly the same, but facilitated by me, for both you and your baby. Your Maternity care will be in the comfort of your own home, with no time restrictions on your appointments, and plenty of time to chat! I will also be available for you via WhatsApp or messaging for routine questions and worries throughout the day, everyday.
I have full Clinical Indemnity Insurance to provide care throughout Pregnancy, Birth and Postnatal. I am also Registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a Nurse, Midwife and Clinical Prescriber, and complete robust regular skills training and updates to keep all my practice safe and current.
