Personalised care from the same midwife you know and trust

“Cheryl is the most wonderful midwife and all-round pregnancy, birth and postpartum companion, whose services I wholeheartedly recommend.

Cheryl is kind, thoughtful, positive and incredibly knowledgeable. We had complete confidence in her expertise and capability; she utilises the most up-to-date research to provide balanced information. Midwifery clearly isn’t just Cheryl’s profession, the wellbeing of expectant mothers, their babies and whole family units is her passion. It is a pleasure to be around someone with such passion and experience in their field.

Appointments at home were always a joy, never rushed, and allowed for all the family to get to know Cheryl and for us to feel genuinely cared for. I am confident that the continuity of care made a huge difference to my family.

Cheryl has such a genuine warmth and amicable nature, she develops relationships with ease, which makes a huge difference for any anxious moments. I felt listened to at all times, respected and empowered throughout all prenatal appointments, birth and postpartum.

It was a sad day when we had to say goodbye to Cheryl; we will always be grateful for the positive impact she had on our family.

If you are deliberating whether to hire an independent midwife, I cannot recommend Cheryl highly enough. A truly remarkable midwife and all-round lovely human being.” - Rachel & Rob ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Cheryl supported me and my husband in pregnancy, birth at home and postnatally. This support was invaluable and gave us the confidence to make the decisions that were right for us as were informed with facts.

Cheryl is so knowledgeable and calm and really talks through all options with you allowing you to feel in control and empowered in however your birth plan might look. We were able to have the home birth we'd dreamed of purely because of Cheryl's knowledge and experience.

Following birth regular visits allowed us to adjust to our first baby and be supported in feeding and any ongoing questions. The impact of the consistency of care offered cannot be underestimated and made what is usually a scary and uncertain time feel safe and positive.

Thank you so much Cheryl for helping bring our daughter into the world with such a kind and open nature!“ - Lauren & Etienne ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I hired Cheryl from 25 weeks pregnant up to just over a month postpartum and it was the best decision I made. Her care, her knowledge, her passion it just aligned with me perfectly. I did a lot of research into labour and woman's body and felt so strongly about letting my body do what it was built to do, and Cheryl supported me every step of the way.

She brought a warm, loving energy into my home and my birth was everything I had visualised and prepped for. I would 100% recommend her services for anyone wanting to go down the home birth route.“ - Sophie & Rob ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I cannot recommend Cheryl highly enough. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced but also deeply compassionate and truly invested in the well-being of both mother and baby.

Cheryl's empathy shines through in everything she does. She takes the time to listen, reassure, and provide guidance in a way that makes you feel completely supported and understood. No question is too small, no concern is ever dismissed-she genuinely cares and makes you feel like you and your baby are her absolute priority.

Her expertise is outstanding, and her ability to explain things clearly while respecting our choices is something I deeply appreciated. She is a wealth of knowledge, always providing evidence-based advice while ensuring that

Her care, dedication, and unwaveri you feel confident and empowered in your decisions.ng support are something I will always be grateful for. If you are looking for a midwife who is not only exceptionally skilled but also kind, compassionate, and wholeheartedly committed to your journey, Cheryl is the one.” - Portia and Neil ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Cheryl provided me with post natal support following the birth of our first baby. I honestly could not recommend her highly enough and she was such a fantastic support during this time. She is extremely kind and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for her. I hope to work with Cheryl again if I am lucky enough to have more babies in future.” - Emily & Alex ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Cheryl was very friendly and approachable from day one and really put me at ease. She has really helped us prepare for the new addition in our family and we both now look forward to the birth with excitement rather than the nerves we had previously. I cannot thank you Cheryl enough for the support and guidance throughout my pregnancy and I would strongly recommend her“. - Laura ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Cheryl is an incredibly knowledgeable midwife who filled me with confidence throughout my pregnancy and birth. I have no doubts when I say that I couldn’t have had such a positive birth experience without Cheryl. Postnatally Cheryl was always at the end of the phone answering any questions I had and gave us such a wonderful level of support throughout. Would highly recommend to anyone on the fence about investing in their pregnancy/ birth experience!” - Grace & Chris ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Incredible caring, nurturing and knowledgeable midwife who truly supports you and your whole family throughout your journey. I cannot thank Cheryl enough for our world class care and honestly feel my experience and outcomes would have been very very different without it. The best decision I could have made for my pregnancy birth and postnatal experiences and health.” - Sam & Jason ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Cheryl is an incredible midwife. Throughout my wife's pregnancy and beyond she was a calming presence, full of knowledge, advice, and positivity. Not only did she continuously showcase her wealth of experience, but Cheryl researched tirelessly when highly specific issues surrounding my wife's pregnancy arose. In what could have been highly stressful situations in an already fraught time in our lives, Cheryl's presence was always an oasis of calm that allowed my wife to navigate her pregnancy with grace and mindfulness. If you are looking for an independent midwife, I truly cannot recommend Cheryl more.” - Alex & Sam ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I stumbled on Cheryl's Instagram page after a bad first experience with maternity services with my first baby. I thought that what she published really resonated with everything that I wish I had for my first birth. I then thought she'd definitely be a good midwife if I got pregnant again.

When I got pregnant I knew straight away who to contact to get the holistic respectful pregnancy care I wanted. And I'm so glad I did. Not only Cheryl became my midwife, but she also became an anchor throughout this second pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

She supported me in every decision I made, sending me research when I had some "technical" questions, supported me with healthcare appointments I dreaded, and above all I got my much wanted home birth, and for that I'm forever grateful.

Cheryl brought warmth, reassurance, and so much more to our home. I always felt safe and cared for, and I'm sure my experience would have been a lot different if I didn't have the continuity of care I had with Cheryl. If you're looking for an independent midwife, give Cheryl a call, you will absolutely love her.” - Cecile & Maxime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Cheryl! She was incredibly kind, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout my pregnancy and birth. Her calm and encouraging approach gave us the confidence to ask questions and make informed decisions, even when we felt pressured toward interventions we didn’t feel comfortable with.

Thanks to her guidance and reassurance, I was able to have the birth experience I had always dreamed of. I felt truly cared for and empowered every step of the way. I’m so grateful to have had her by our side. I was very sad when it came time to say goodbye. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled midwife” - Teresa & Chris ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“If you’re searching for informative, supportive and personalised continuity of care, look no further. Having Cheryl as our midwife was the best decision we could have made.

Choosing to have my pregnancy and birth outside of the NHS was a very important decision for me, having previously been an NHS midwife myself. I started this pregnancy full of anxiety, knowing I would be putting myself in to the NHS system by default, unless I chose to have an IM. Cheryl and I worked together as NHS community midwives and I knew instantly who I’d want by my side for this journey.

Knowing that I would receive the best, evidence based care and be able to have open and honest discussions around the choices I made for myself and my baby, instantly relieved the anxiety I had surrounding medical care.

Appointments with Cheryl were calm, comfortable and something my husband and I looked forward to. Every appointment was tailored to us and nothing was a stupid question. I felt fully supported in my decision making, but equally aware that the support would be there still if I were to change my mind about anything. Risks and benefits of everything were always outlined and discussed, and I felt in control of my care. Most importantly to me, explanations were never dismissed as “you know this”, which ensured my husband was always just as informed and involved too.

When my waters went before Labour started, Cheryl was straight out to assess me and baby and we made a plan together thinking about all the possible scenarios. Again Cheryl made sure I had the latest evidence and statistics to make the decisions I needed to. She continued to check in and visit over the next couple of days while I waited for Labour to start, giving me and my husband the confidence to stick to my decision to stay at home without worrying.

Cheryls teaching of Hypnobirthing and biomechanics throughout the pregnancy was brilliant and provided us with the practical tools (and a lot of laughter when it came to practising biomechanics) to make late pregnancy and early labour as comfortable as possible.

I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect pregnancy, postnatal and home birth care experience and I wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you” - Abbie & Cody ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Cheryl was a fantastic choice of independent midwife for us and knowing we had her to support us in our pregnancy and birth choices meant our second birth was a very different to our first (‘NHS care only’ experience). The comfort of knowing Cheryl would stand behind our choice to have a home birth in a VBAC scenario meant there was no anxiety for us when we faced inevitable pushback from well-meaning but aggressive consultants in an NHS setting. Cheryl never pushed her own agenda on us and was exceptionally careful to present us with all the evidence whilst also affirming the body’s own capability for birth.

She came alongside us, got to know me and my straightforward nature, spent time with us as a family (including our toddler) and our interactions always had a natural ease to them. We laughed a great deal in our appointments and I will look back on my second pregnancy and labour experience hugely fondly.

If you can afford it, an independent midwife is something I recommend to everybody if you want to push for an intervention-free physiological birth to the fullest extent possible. Obviously medicalised births save lives in certain contexts but it is no great secret that the tendency towards intervention is very much changing the landscape in maternity care. I felt very much cared for and supported without feeling like a number, like I was on the clock or in any way an inconvenience. Cheryl was with us on Christmas Eve, most of Christmas Day and into Boxing Day and remained gracious despite the lengthy process!!

We got to share what was a very special time in our lives as a family and Cheryl’s calm, confident, unassuming manner meant that I had the confidence to labour at home in a VBAC scenario with a 99+ centile baby.” - Jess & Aaron ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Cheryl supported us from week 10 of my pregnancy, until several weeks postpartum. After so many friends had had bad birth experiences within the NHS, I decided early on that I wanted to find an independent midwife so that I felt confident and could trust that the person caring for me had my best interests at heart. I instantly knew Cheryl was the midwife for us just from reading her profile online. Cheryl is a warm, caring person who is a true believer in physiological birth and supporting your wishes. It made such a huge difference to us having the same person looking after us the whole way through. I highly recommend Cheryl and we’re so glad we found her! Thank you for looking after us xxx” - Angela & Dan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
