Birth can be transformative in the best possible way.

When you have the right support it leaves you feeling more connected to yourself, not less.

Instead of anxious googling at 2am. Instead of rushed appointments in a stuffy clinic, where all anyone seems to care about is your blood pressure. Instead of never really feeling like you get to know your midwife…

Imagine unhurried appointments. Time to answer all your questions - big or small. Where your midwife actually knows your name, and you. Having the opportunity to explore all your options, hopes and fears. Being able to contact your midwife with ease in between appointments.

You're the lead in your own pregnancy, birth and postnatal story and you deserve care that treats you that way.

Picture sitting at your kitchen table or on your sofa with your midwife, asking every question that matters, taking all the time you need. Feeling your confidence grow with each conversation. Knowing that when labour starts, the people who truly know you - your hopes, your fears, your unique journey - will be there, whether you're birthing at home or in hospital. Feeling held, informed, and powerful through it all.

This is what independent midwifery care makes possible.

We're Sophie and Natasha, long time pals and your midwifery dream team. We believe the way you're cared for during pregnancy and birth shapes how you step into parenthood. When you're treated as the expert on your own body and your care is built around you, not protocols, everything shifts. You trust yourself more. You feel excited to meet your baby (or babies!). You remember your birth as a moment of your own strength, whatever the journey looked like.

This is midwifery as it was meant to be: you at the centre, deeply known, fiercely supported.

What actually changes when you choose independent midwifery care?

You're never navigating this alone. From your first appointment until four weeks after your baby arrives, we're with you. The same faces, the same calm presence, the same people who know your story inside out. No more explaining yourself to strangers at every visit.

Your appointments fit your life, not the other way around. We come to you at your home. Appointments last as long as they need to. There's no clock watching, no rushing you out the door, no feeling like you've forgotten the most important question.

You have direct access, whenever you need it. Between appointments, we're just a WhatsApp message away. The question that pops up on a Sunday? You don't have to wait for your next appointment or navigate a phone system. You text us.

You build real confidence in your own instincts. Our role isn't to tell you what to do - it's to give you the information, space, and support to make decisions that feel right for you. We help you develop the self-trust to know what your body needs, what your baby needs, what feels right in your bones.

This isn't care you have to squeeze into your life. This is care that wraps around it.

Homebirth is our passion, but we support all births.

We absolutely love supporting homebirths. There's something extraordinary about helping families welcome their babies in the space where they feel most safe, most themselves, most powerful.

Homebirth is where our hearts are and it's why we became independent midwives. We believe in the power of undisturbed birth, in trusting your body's wisdom, in the magic that unfolds when you're surrounded by calm, confident support in your own space.

But what matters the most is that however your birth unfolds, you feel respected, informed, and held.

Planning a homebirth? We'll bring our expertise, our calm presence, and everything you need right to your door.

Choosing hospital birth? We'll be right there with you, advocating for your choices, making sure your voice is heard every step of the way.

Feeling uncertain about what you want? We'll explore every option together - the evidence, the pros and cons, what feels right for you - with no pressure, no agenda, just honest guidance.

Plans changing unexpectedly? We'll help you navigate the shift without losing your voice or your power in the process.

What doesn't change, no matter where you give birth: You're at the centre of your care. Your experience, choices and instincts all matter to us.

More than your midwives - your advocates, your guides, your steady presence.

With over 22 years of combined experience between us, we've seen what becomes possible when care is truly built around people, not systems.

We offer gentle guidance, warm reassurance, and always a listening ear. We're not here to manage your pregnancy like a medical condition or follow you through a checklist. We're here to walk alongside you, to help you feel confident and informed, to make sure you never feel alone in this journey.

You are the ultimate decision-maker in your pregnancy and birth. Our job is to support you in developing the self-trust and confidence to make decisions that feel right for you and to make sure you have all the information you need to make those decisions.

We believe that pregnancy isn't something that happens to you. That birth is transformative. That rich postnatal support is a vital part of your whole experience, not an afterthought.

You deserve care that is underpinned by kindness, respect and unwavering support.
