Antenatal Care
As your independent midwife, I offer unhurried, holistic, and person centred care from the comfort of your home. We can meet as little or as often as you like, and you will receive true continuity of care. No matter how complex your pregnancy is, the support and care I provide puts you in control and makes your voice heard. You will be able to make decisions about your care based on knowledge, not fear. We will spend many hours on detailed birth preparation so you know all options available and feel confident in your choices.
Birth
Birth care and support as part of the Complete Vitality care package.
I am on call for you from 37 weeks until you give birth and you are guaranteed to have me attend your birth, whether you choose to birth at home or hospital.
No risk of a homebirth service cancellation and peace of mind knowing that a trusted person will be there with you for your birth.
Please note: I do not provide birth only care. I provide true continuity of care, which requires time for us to get to know each other and to establish trust.

Postnatal Care
Postnatal care is often overlooked, and routine NHS birth aftercare is minimal. Consider investing in extended postnatal care to help you navigate the transition into parenthood and ensure you and your new baby get off to a good start. My postnatal care visits are daily during the first week and then gradually space out over the next four weeks and are usually 1-2 hours long.
Feeding Support
Every feeding journey is different and having regular support from an experienced practitioner can make all the difference. Feeding support is provided within all postnatal care packages. You can also book me for infant feeding support on its own if that is what you need.
Moxibustion
This treatment is suitable for when a baby is in breech (bottom down) posotion and you would like to turn them to a cephalic (head down) position. Moxibustion is a method of Chinese medicine which has been used in China to help turn breech babies for thousands of years.
Hypnobirthing / Relaxations
If you do not wish to book with me for antenatal care, I offer stand-alone antenatal hypnobirthing/relaxation classes, either 1:1 at your home or in small groups with other birthing couples at a venue in Southend. You can also book time with me for a focussed session to create a personalised birth plan.
