Pregnancy Halifax & Calderdale

Doulas and Independent Midwives

Hello ! I am Angela, independent midwife, providing antenatal, birth and postnatal care for women and their families for over 13 years. I am available to support your choice of home or hospital birth.

I am based in West Yorkshire and cover the surrounding areas, including North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire.

I am passionate about the art of midwifery. I provide compassionate and individualised care, accessing the most up to date evidence available. Providing support from early in your pregnancy – if you so require – though labour and birth and up to six weeks of postnatal care. We can put together a bespoke package to suit your needs. You can choose all aspects of maternity care or just pick and choose to your preference.

With me on your family team you will make true informed decisions, fully understanding the care pathway, giving you confidence and a feeling of empowerment throughout your journey to parenthood.

Our consultations will be in the comfort and familiar surroundings of your own home, typically taking an hour to ensure all your questions are answered and any concerns are resolved. Evening and weekend appointments are available – so your partner can be involved at all times, with ease.

One of the major benefits of having a private midwife is continuity of care; proven to result in better outcomes for all. Research shows that there is more chance of achieving a natural birth with your labour meeting your wishes when you have a midwife you know and trust to support you. I will support your home birth or birth in hospital and can provide a birth pool for use in your home.

I am also trained in relaxation techniques for labour and birth and this is included in your birth care package. I collaborate with a specialised holistic therapist to provide a pregnancy treatment of choice in your birth care package.

Please contact me for an informal conversation so you can see how I can best support you and your family on your special journey to meeting your new baby.
