Birth Preparation — if you are preparing for birth and want to understand how birth works, explore your choices and feel more confident about what lies ahead.

When Birth Plans Change — if something unexpected has changed and you need time to understand the information, your options and what you want to do next.

Birth Debrief — if you want to talk through your birth, understand what happened, ask questions or simply tell the whole story.

Birth Rewind — if a difficult or traumatic birth is still causing distress, anxiety, intrusive memories or fear.

Afterbirth — practical and emotional one-to-one support after birth, from feeding and recovery to baby massage, movement, questions or simply some much-needed space for you.

Not sure? Get in touch. You do not need to work it out before contacting me.

Yes. Most sessions can be offered online wherever you are.

In-person support is available in Brighton & Hove, depending on the service.

No.

I support women before, during and long after pregnancy and birth. I have also worked with birth partners who need space to process their experience, and with women embarking on IVF and adoption journeys.

If what you need does not fit neatly into one of my services, just ask.

No.

Although I am an experienced registered midwife, The Alternative Midwife does not provide independent clinical maternity care or replace your maternity or medical team.

You can book through the Book with Me page, I will contact you with available appointment times from submission or contact me directly on whats app/text or call if you are not sure where to start 07884071571.

I also offer a brief introductory conversation if you would like to talk through what you need before booking.

A private, unhurried space to talk through your birth, understand what happened and begin making sense of your experience.

BIRTH REWIND

The two sessions are usually arranged around 7–10 days apart.

AFTERBIRTH
60 minutes · £45
90 minutes · £70

One-to-one postnatal support for you, not just the baby. Feeding, recovery, the transition into motherhood, questions, worries, processing your birth or simply having more time with a midwife.

Absolutely.

Partners are particularly welcome at Birth Preparation sessions, but I also offer support to birth partners who need their own space to talk through and process a birth experience.

Birth does not fit neatly into boxes. Neither does support.
