Birth Stories
“Attending births is like growing roses. You have to marvel at the ones that just open up and bloom at the first kiss of the sun but you wouldn't dream of pulling open the petals of the tightly closed buds and forcing them to blossom to your time line”

Lilia's Birth Story
Jamie's testimonial
Being in the late stages of my second pregnancy and an ocean away from London, has only made me think of what a luxury having Louise for my entire first pregnancy was.
Louise was super-attentive during my entire pregnancy while never tiring of all my 'first-time mother' questions. She always wore a smile on her face and brought her bubbly personality to our home even if she had been up the night before attending to a birth.
But more important to me than Louise's lovely personality was her ability to instinctively respect all my boundaries during the birthing process. She was exactly how I needed her to be. I felt safe, secure and honoured. My easeful birth experience was in no doubt due to her integrity as a skilful midwife.
Her postnatal care was also priceless. She helped me through some very difficult breastfeeding issues with practical hands-on solutions. Louise knew how important breastfeeding was to me and at a time when most midwives would have offered a bottle she offered more support to meet my goals.
If an attentive, skilful midwife is who you are looking for then look no further. Louise is definitely the answer.

"We feel so lucky to have had Tracy as our midwife, she was amazing from start to finish. Her support and guidance all the way through was invaluable and it was so reassuring having someone at the end of the phone all the way through my pregnancy. It really makes a difference having one midwife who you get to know well and trust. I would not have had the birth I wanted without her and we are so grateful that our first birth experience was so positive and memorable. I only hope she is available when we have our next baby!"
