Care Rooted in Relationship

As an independent midwife, I believe that truly knowing the women and families I care for makes a difference. My approach is deeply woman-centred and holistic, with a focus on wellbeing, physiology, intuition and the wisdom of the body. I offer calm, continuous care for families planning a homebirth, taking time to understand what matters to you and supporting you to feel informed, prepared and deeply trusting of your own instincts.

Areas I Serve

Based in Mayfield, East Sussex, Birth Song Midwifery supports families across East Sussex, West Sussex and Kent, including:

  • Tunbridge Wells
  • Crowborough
  • Uckfield
  • Heathfield
  • Brighton & Hove
  • Worthing
  • Haywards Heath
  • Lewes
  • Hastings
  • Battle
  • Eastbourne
  • Hailsham
  • Edenbridge
  • Forest Row
  • East Grinstead
  • Tonbridge
  • Sevenoaks

Access to independent midwifery matters wherever you are. It means having your own experienced midwife, with more time, more continuity, and more options than a stretched caseload can usually offer. For families across these areas, that can mean the difference between fitting into a system and having care that fits around you: unhurried appointments, a known face at your birth, and support that adapts to your choices rather than the other way around.

Grounded, Informed, Open

Grounded

Calm, unhurried care that makes space for your own instincts, intuition and knowing.

Continuity

The time and relationship to become truly known, cared for by a familiar midwife throughout your journey.

Informed

Best available evidence, experience and thoughtful conversation, so you have the knowledge and freedom to make your own choices.

Open & Approachable

A warm, honest space to ask questions, explore possibilities and talk about the things that matter to you.
