Care that begins by listening to you
Pregnancy can feel exciting, precious and, at times, rather overwhelming. You may be receiving plenty of information but still feel as though nobody has the time to truly listen.
Independent midwifery care may feel right for you if:
- You want the reassurance of seeing the same trusted midwife throughout your journey
- You feel anxious, unheard or uncertain about your maternity care
- You have experienced a difficult birth, trauma or pregnancy loss before
- You are considering a homebirth or would like additional support for a hospital birth
- You want care alongside your NHS team or a complete independent journey
- You value calm, time-rich appointments in the comfort of your own home
Whatever has brought you here, we can begin with a gentle conversation about what matters to you.
What feels different?
A familiar face
The same trusted midwife getting to know you, your family, your story and what helps you to feel safe.
Time to breathe
Unhurried home appointments with space to ask questions, explore your choices and talk about how you are really feeling.
Clear, informed choices
Balanced, evidence-based information without pressure, helping you to make decisions that feel right for you and your baby.
Care around your family
Appointments arranged around your circumstances, with partners and family members warmly included whenever you wish.
Care Options
How can an Independent Midwife support you?
Embrace Complete Signature Care
A complete journey of calm, continuous midwifery care from pregnancy through birth and into the early weeks with your baby.
You will receive personalised antenatal care, birth preparation, on-call labour and birth support, and nurturing postnatal care from a midwife who already knows you, your family and your wishes.
Suitable for homebirth and adaptable for families planning hospital birth support.
Complete care from £7,500. Monthly instalment options are available.
Pregnancy and Postnatal Care
Choose dedicated antenatal or postnatal care while continuing to receive other parts of your maternity care through the NHS.
These packages offer longer appointments, continuity, emotional reassurance and personalised clinical care in your home.
Individual Gentle Support
Sometimes you do not need a complete package. You may simply need time with an experienced midwife who will listen and help you find a way forward.

Meet Laura
I'm Laura, an Independent Midwife and founder of Gentle Midwifery Norfolk.
I have worked within maternity care since 2017, supporting families through NHS, private and independent practice. My own pregnancy and birth experiences helped shape my belief that every woman deserves to feel heard, respected and genuinely involved in her care.
My approach is calm, personal and grounded in evidence. I will never tell you which choice you should make. I will give you the time, information and support you need to make decisions that feel right for you and your family.

Let's talk about what matters to you
Choosing who will support you through pregnancy and birth is deeply personal.
A gentle discovery call gives us time to talk about your pregnancy, your previous experiences and the kind of care you are hoping for. There is no pressure to decide anything during the call.
If we feel like the right fit, I will explain the care choices available and help you consider the next step.
