Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Alternative Midwife?

I’m a Midwife for Life’s Chapters - blending midwifery, trauma healing, breathwork, and Wise Woman energy. My work isn’t clinical therapy. It’s healing space. A place to soften, release, and rise.

Do I have to be pregnant or a mother to work with you?

Not at all. My programmes are for every chapter - from puberty and motherhood to grief, perimenopause, menopause, or simply when life feels heavy and you’re ready for change.

What are your programmes?

I offer three core pathways: Each includes guided sessions, breathwork, and a reflective workbook.

  • Embracing Changes – for life’s thresholds and transitions.

  • Birth Healing Reset – a gentle 2-session programme for women carrying difficult birth stories.

  • Rewind & Restore – a 3-session deep healing pathway for birth or life events.

What is the Rewind Technique?

It’s a gentle, evidence-based process used in trauma therapy. It doesn’t involve reliving painful events but helps release the emotional charge they carry, so you can move forward with more ease.

How do sessions work?

Sessions are held online or in person (depending on your location). Each one lasts around an hour. Between sessions, you’ll have a workbook with exercises, reflections, and practices to deepen the healing.

How much do programmes cost?

Each programme has a set price based on the number of sessions:

  • Embracing Changes (3 sessions) — £255

  • Birth Healing Reset (2 sessions) — £170

  • Rewind & Restore (3 sessions) — £255

Is this counselling or medical treatment?

No. I am a midwife and trauma healing specialist, but this work is not counselling or medical care. It is holistic support and Wise Woman guidance, designed to complement - not replace - professional medical or mental health care.

How do I know which programme is right for me?

Trust where you are. If you’re at a changing life chapter - Embracing Changes will support you. If your birth story feels heavy - Birth Healing Reset is the starting place. If you carry deep trauma, whether from birth or life - Rewind & Restore offers deeper release.
