Why employ a Private Midwife?
“If continuity of care were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.”
John H. Kennell MD

✔️ 25% shorter labours
✔️ 60% fewer requests for epidurals
✔️ 40% less use of artificial oxytocin

Clinical Evidence shows that Continuity of Care leads to:

We have expert training, regulation and insurance to keep you safe while offering full holistic loving care. We work with you and your partner so you feel supported as a team. We can help to guide you and your birth partner with comfort techniques, positive birth affirmations and massage to make you feel safe, empowered and bathed in oxytocin
The most important part of choosing a midwife is the connection you (and your partner) feel with her. With private midwifery, you have the freedom to choose the person who will walk beside you through one of life’s most transformative experiences.
You deserve a midwife you can trust completely — someone who will be your advocate, your calm guide, and your safety net, so you can relax into your birthing space knowing you are fully supported.
That’s why I offer a free first consultation. It’s a chance for us to meet, talk through the kind of birth you envision, and discuss any questions or concerns you may have about pregnancy or postpartum.
This is your birth. If we’re the right fit, we’ll take the next steps together. If not, I’ll encourage you to explore other midwives until you find the one who feels right for you.
Because when you meet the midwife who is meant to walk this journey with you — you’ll know.
Julia was like an angel from beginning to end. She anticipated my needs and empowered me to birth my darling big boy with no pain relief and no tears. She even ran out in early labour to fetch me much needed McDonalds fries. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Having Julia there to support my labour and birth made such a difference. I had complete trust in her and was able to switch off from everything else....We will definitely be requesting Julia to be our midwife again when we have our second baby!

Julia enabled me to have the birth of my dreams. She was recommended to me after a traumatic experience with my first birth. She really empowered me to take control and to be at one with my beautiful baby. I had the birth of dreams and it made all the difference to the bonding process thereafter. I have already booked her for baby 3!

“The parallels between making love and giving birth are clear, not only in terms of passion and love, but also because we need essentially the same conditions for both experiences: privacy and safety.”
Sarah Buckley
“There is power that comes to women when they give birth. They don’t ask for it, it simply invades them. Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes through, carrying the child with it.”
Sheryl Feldman
“Having a highly trained obstetrical surgeon attend a normal birth is analogous to having a pediatric surgeon babysit a healthy 2-year-old.”
Marsden Wagner
“Many women have described their experiences of childbirth as being associated with a spiritual uplifting, the power of which they have never previously been aware … To such a woman childbirth is a monument of joy within her memory. She turns to it in thought to seek again an ecstasy which passed too soon.”
