“Rachel was fantastic, professional and personable midwife during my pregnancy and after birth. She helped me overcome child birth fear after a traumatic c section and I had a beautiful natural birth with her by my side. I also felt empowered and well cared for by Rachel the entire time. She kept me informed and checked on me regularly. Honestly, I would recommend her to all women looking for a positive pregnancy and birth experience. Thanks for the guidance and care Rachel. You’re an exceptional midwife!”

“Rachel was my midwife with my first son. From our initial meet to those delicate weeks postpartum, Rachel taught be so much about child birth and ultimately caring for my baby. Her approach was always evidence based, always knowledgable and always gentle. I felt fully supported at all times to make informed decisions for myself and my family and will be forever grateful for that level of care. It made all the difference to my experience and overall recovery. I would recommend Rachel to anyone.”

Rachel was my midwife for my third pregnancy, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. With a 10-year gap since my last baby and some additional health concerns, I was more apprehensive this time around. Rachel was with me every step of the way, providing incredible support and evidence-based guidance.
When I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, she helped me manage it through diet, and I felt empowered to make informed decisions, including declining an induction and having a beautiful home birth with her by my side. She was also amazing postnatally, especially when I struggled with breastfeeding due to a tongue tie.
Appointments were never rushed, and she always provided helpful resources so I could make my own informed choices. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate midwife, I highly recommend Rachel, she is truly one of the best!

Honestly the care I received from Rachel is out of this world phenomenal. I can honestly say having her involved was one of the best decisions for my pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester. Having a consistent, knowledge and empowering person on your side makes the world of difference- being able to meet with Rachel to discuss all my thoughts/concerns/worries/niggles was so helpful, and then to have her on hand via messages too for any and all follow up discussions just made everything so much better. Rach got to know and understand me so well so she knew exactly what was important for me to know, she was able to give me different viewpoints on things I hadn’t considered when I felt like things were “going wrong” which helped me see negatives in a new and positive light, and she always knew her stuff and brought up to date evidence to the table- something that I really value considering how out of date, dismissive and non woman-centred the mainstream maternity system often is. I can honestly say that I’m not sure I’ve met anyone in my life who empowered me as much as Rachel did. Her focus was always on ensuring I was informed and educated on every aspect enough to make my own decisions, and she advocated and respected every decision I made in a way that no other health care professional ever has. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been supported by Rachel with my first pregnancy and knew I needed her for my second too. I recommend her to everyone I know. You won’t regret having Rachel support you ❤️

Rachel is an absolute godsend! Throughout my first pregnancy the 'care' I'd received had been nonexistent. When I moved house at 33 weeks pregnant, two friends said 'Ask for Rachel as your midwife. When I had my first appointment with Rachel it was like my whole body and mind relaxed. Rachel has a way of being totally relaxed yet full knowledgable, wise and implicitly trustworthy. Rachel is one of a kind and I thank my lucky stars that
both me and my babies were lucky enough to have her in our life. Find someone who cares. Find yourself a Rachel!

We were lucky enough to have Rachel as our midwife for my first pregnancy and I always felt in such good hands after a disappointing experience with the NHS first. I had some push back from NHS for an elective section but Rachel dealt with this for us and I had the birth I wanted as a result. Couldn’t recommend Rachel enough x

Rach is amazing!

If you are struggling in any way or need some advice to navigate all the complicated decisions please contact her. Also, I know it’s not common, but check your health insurance just in case they cover maternity like mine did.

After a really difficult first pregnancy I was unsure about even having a second child for years. Then I was anxious in the first trimester of my second pregnancy once we finally got the courage to do it.

I knew I needed extra support and Rach’s name kept coming up. She was the best thing that could have happened to me. As soon as I met with her I felt at ease and knew I would be ok. Knowing I had someone with immense knowledge and compassion in my corner changed my whole pregnancy to a positive experience.

I just wish I’d had her in my first pregnancy too. Even an hour or 2 with her would have made all the difference with my first.

Thank you again for everything you did for us Rach!

Second baby and second time seeing Rachel. All information , guidance and support has been so helpful and important to us to help us navigate what was best for our littles ones. Think we would of been super stressed, confused and rushed f we was just left to decide with the NHS system.

Highly reccommend

I remember the first time we spoke to Rachel. I was well into my second trimester by then, and I think she was actually the first professional/midwife we had spoken to that said congratulations and asked how we were doing with it all! After various rushed, check-list heavy midwife appointments that lasted no more than 5-10 minutes, I remember just being stunned at how we lost ourselves in an hour long conversation about my pregnancy, birth options, experiences so far and worries we had. Rachel accompanied us for the remainder of my pregnancy and throughout we found her incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate and attentive. Every step in our journey we felt safe and empowered. We knew we could trust Rachel and that even if something didn't go quite right at any stage, she'd be there with us to help us make the best decision for us and the baby. I honestly wish (and have said so many times since) that everyone could have a Rachel for their pregnancy and birth story. It made such a difference for us!
