The Gentle Midwifery Collective

Pregnancy, birth and parenthood can feel easier when you have the right people around you. But finding supportive professionals and welcoming local services can sometimes feel overwhelming.

The Gentle Midwifery Collective is a growing directory created to help families find pregnancy, birth, postnatal and parenting support across East Anglia.

Whether you are looking for a pelvic health physiotherapist, lactation consultant, doula, birth photographer, pregnancy class or a friendly place to visit with your baby, the collective can help you discover support that feels right for you.

Each professional or service has been included because their approach reflects values of kindness, compassion and family-centred care.

INFO

What the Gentle Midwifery Collective offers

The collective brings together pregnancy, birth, postnatal and parenting professionals across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, alongside online services that can support families more widely.

Each listing is chosen with care and reflects a shared commitment to kind, respectful and professional support. The directory will continue to grow as I connect with more people and services whose values align with those of Gentle Midwifery Norfolk.

Every professional and business listed operates independently. You are encouraged to speak with them directly about their services, qualifications, availability and whether their support is suitable for your family.

My Mission

My hope is to make it easier for every family to build a trusted support village around them, one that helps them feel informed, nurtured and less alone from pregnancy into parenthood.
