Real experiences from families and women I've had the privilege to support through pregnancy, preparation, birth and healing
Independent Midwifery Services
Authentic, respectful, caring and nurturing are all words I’d use to describe Hannah. She also gives the best hugs!! I felt comfortable with Hannah from the minute she walked into my house; she put me at ease with her friendly and easygoing chatter and also made instant best friends with my dog! It was such a stark contrast to the NHS care I’d received (and I actually really rate my NHS community midwife) because she had all the time for me and took the time to get to know me and my family rather than having to squeeze everything into a short time window before the next patient as with the NHS. Hannah helped me have the most beautiful hands off birth. Despite a few challenges along the way, Hannah provided me with all the information so that I could make an informed choice and then respected the decision that I made. After baby was born, Hannah provided care for six weeks. This was a really difficult time for me due to my mental health and during the time she was with me I felt heard and held by her. She has a tried and tested method of rocking a crying newborn to sleep! And finally, I will never forget Hannah’s never ending patience and enthusiasm with my two (nearly three) year old’s performance routines!

Finding the right midwife can make all the difference, and we were very blessed to have Hannah as ours, from very early on in pregnancy all the way through to seven weeks post-partum . Hannah is warm, caring, empathetic and always put us at ease. It was a joy to have our appointments with her, chatting leisurely and even sharing a joke or some cake. And her visits became a favourite time for our older kids too, as she was so kind to them, and got them involved in various ways. I really valued her clinical skill in taking care of our baby and me - so reassuring - and at the same time she protected our ability to make our own decisions in an informed way…the perfect balance. For us, it was such an unexpected blessing to find a midwife who shares our faith in Jesus, and it made our journey with Hannah so precious. Now we miss our very special visits with our exceptional midwife. Thank you for all you’ve done for our family, Hannah

I truly cannot speak highly enough of the care and support we received from Hannah during the first 4 weeks of being a new mum of 2! From the moment she stepped into our home, she brought a sense of calm, reassurance, and professionalism that made such a difference in those early days. Hannah's knowledge, gentle approach, and genuine care for both me and my baby were incredible. She not only supported my physical recovery but also ensured I felt emotionally supported, heard, and empowered during this vulnerable time. Her guidance with breastfeeding, newborn care & settling in to becoming a family of 4 was invaluable. Having Hannah by our side gave us confidence, peace of mind, and a much smoother start to my postpartum period than we could have imagined. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking private postpartum care.

After having Hannah by my side during my second pregnancy, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind when I found out I was expecting again, I knew I needed her with me once more. From the very first moment I reached out, Hannah made me feel completely supported. Nothing was ever too much trouble. She was always just a message away, offering reassurance, guidance, and care whenever I needed it. Through every high and low she stood by me, sharing knowledge, empowering me to make informed choices, and being a strong advocate when I needed someone in my corner. As I reached the final stretch of pregnancy and things got tough, Hannah was there not just as a midwife, but as a true source of emotional support. She held space for me in a way that felt so safe and nurturing. Knowing the person who would be delivering my baby cared so deeply about both of us brought a level of comfort I can’t quite put into words. Because of her, I went into labour calm, confident, and without fear. She arrived at exactly the right moment, gentle, present, and quietly attentive, giving me the space I needed while still holding me through it all. Hannah was everything I hoped for and so much more. If I’m ever blessed with another baby, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second—I would choose her all over again, in a heartbeat.

From the very beginning, Hannah was not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but her kindness and patience helped me feel comfortable throughout my pregnancy. During my first pregnancy, my husband and I were living apart— I was back in Canada while he was in the UK. We decided I would travel to the UK to have our baby, but having no family there except for my husband, I did feel a little anxious about what to expect. As a Muslim woman, I deeply value my privacy and the safety and comfort of my home. For that reason, I chose a home birth, so that my husband and I could feel most at ease. From the very beginning, Hannah was not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but her kindness and patience helped me feel comfortable throughout my pregnancy. We had weekly calls while I was still in Canada, which really put my mind at ease and helped me get to know her better. She listened to all my concerns and answered every question with genuine care, ensuring that I felt fully supported. Once I arrived in the UK and met Hannah in person, my husband was also immediately reassured and on board with the home birth plan. We both felt confident in our decision, knowing that Hannah was the right midwife to support us through the journey. When labor began, she was right there by my side the entire time. Her calm and patient presence was exactly what I needed in that moment. Unfortunately, things didn’t progress as planned, and we had to transition to a hospital birth. Having Hannah with us through this challenging change was invaluable. I was so comforted knowing she was there to advocate for us every step of the way. In the days that followed, Hannah continued to support us as we navigated our new journey as parents. She went above and beyond, even accompanying us during a hospital visit for our baby girl, always there to provide guidance and reassurance. I honestly cannot recommend Hannah enough. She is a wonderful, caring, and supportive midwife, and we will always be grateful for the care and love she showed us throughout our experience.

Calm Birth Courses
We were so blessed to have Hannah guide us through hypnobirthing as I prepared for the birth of my first baby. Hannah was professional and knowledgable but also approachable, gentle kind d understanding. Myself and my husband felt so comfortable in her hands. Despite my birth not being as I expected, I was still able to use hypnobirthing techniques while pregnant and trying induction to calm anxiety, and in theatre as we met our baby. Hypnobirthing is so incredibly logical and makes sense in the physiology of labour and response to pain and a tool that can be used dynamically. The sessions also gave an opportunity to feel connected with my husband in pregnancy as we prepared and learnt together. Hannah is amazing at what she does and truly gifted. Would highly recommend!

Birth Trauma Counselling
Hannah led me through birth trauma counselling and I can’t believe the difference it has made. The visualisation activity we went through and I have stored on my phone , make me feel the most relaxed I’ve ever felt - kind of like I’m dreaming. Hannah is warm, friendly, understanding and kind - validating my feelings and emotions every step of the way. I have gone from feeling anxious and scared and traumatised from my birth story to being able to think about it positively and without fear. I also didn’t think I’d ever be able to go through that again where as now, feel that a second pregnancy in the future is a possibility if that’s what we want to plan for. Thank you so much!

Hannah was sent to us by God, and is a sign that god is taking care of us. I found the train therapy incredible helpful, and we also chose a birth debrief based on my complex medical notes. Hannah provided answers to a many questions that were overlooked during the hospitals debrief. This process has helped me close that chapter of my life feeling mentally stronger and more at peace. Hannah is not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely lovely person. If God blesses us with more children we hope that Hannah will be our private midwife.
