Sarah, Jenny and Michaela have over 35 years of combined Midwifery experience between them. They have all worked in midwifery-led, high-risk and community maternity services, enabling them to confidently and competently manage any birth complications that may arise. They are experts in active, physiological labour and waterbirth. They are trained in hypnosis and aromatherapy. They also have the additional professional qualifications in Newborn Examination and Newborn Life Support.

While all chosen modes of birth are supported and celebrated by the My Independent Midwife team, they are passionate advocates for vaginal birth after caesarean section – VBAC – having personally birthed 5 of their own children this way, and facilitated hundreds of VBACs in the home and hospital environment. Additionally, they support both complicated and uncomplicated individualised care plans for birth including breech, IVF, large for gestational age, Group B Strep, advanced maternal age, raised BMI and pregnancy beyond 42 weeks gestation.

My Independent Midwife has an inclusive approach to families, having supported surrogates, non-binary and transgender birthing people.

They believe that it is empowerment and communication that achieves positive, transformational birth experiences.
