Providing Private Midwifery Care in Essex, Hertfordshire & Beyond

Gold Standard Midwifery Care

 Hello and welcome, I’m Cheryl, a private independent midwife providing award-winning maternity services in Essex, Hertfordshire and beyond.

Relationship Based Continuity of Carer

Building a caring, trusting relationship with your midwife is the key to a transformative partnership. A journey where you feel totally supported, listened to and cared for. 

Care Personalised To You

My midwifery care is personalised to you, holistic and evidence-based. Ensuring you receive expert guidance and nurturing care from a midwife you know and trust. 

Supporting You in Your Choices

All midwifery visits are in the comfort of your own home, with plenty of time to discuss your care in detail, to explore and help you make fully informed decisions that are right for you and your family. 

Family Centred

You will always be at the centre of your care and I will support you every step of the way through your pregnancy, birth and newborn journey. 

Compassionate and Caring

My philosophy of care is blending the best of modern medicine with traditional midwifery skills and adding a huge dose of compassion and advocacy on top.
