ABOUT US

Our philosophy of care

elevate your midwifery care

midwifery grassroots

Elemental midwifery care is rooted in the physiology of birth.
We trust you and your baby to do the work together without unnecessary interventions-
our skills and knowledge are there if the rhythm of physiology takes a turn. We minimise interventions because we know that the less you intervene the better outcome you have.

radical responsibility

We encourage you to reclaim your power, take charge of your health, become deeply connected to your body and your baby and to embrace this transformative journey to parenthood. We will walk together on this journey, we will respect and support your autonomy in making choices aligned with your needs.

empowerment through knowledge

We provide all the information you need to make choices that align with your body, your values and wishes. Informed Decisions is about being fully aware of all your options and understanding the pros and cons of each choice.
WE HONOUR ALL YOUR CHOICES


crafted for you

Family-Centred and personalised care for your pregnancy, birth and postnatal time. We will dive into different aspects of these transitions, it is a powerful journey and you deserve the time and the space to explore it on many levels. Every aspect of our care is shaped around your choices, preferences, and needs. Your care plan is as individual as you are.

OUR INTENTIONS

IMG_7884 Large

After years of experience as community midwives in Brighton we decided to take the leap of INDEPENDENT MIDWIFERY.

Your voice matters. We stand by you as your advocates, ensuring your voice is heard and empowering you to have a positive journey. A balanced blend of emotional intelligence skills with clinical expertise, based on physiology, evidence and resources-based information. We recognize that the most important evidence comes from you. You are the experts in your life and body and we meet you where you are, bringing our expert skills to support you in the way you need most.

At Rise Independent Midwives, we believe every family deserves ELEVATED care, compassionate, individualised, and empowering

For many reason (eg. shortage of midwives, politics, time restrictions, home birth suspensions and many more) we couldn't give the care that we wanted within the NHS. We want to guide families toward an experience that empowers them to trust their instincts and their innate ability to become parents, encouraging them to take charge of their story with confidence. We want to bring our wisdom to support your journey. Let's embark on this journey  together, nurturing life's most powerful transition with evidence based skills, compassion, respect, empathy and non-judgmental mindset.

As independent midwives, we get to know YOU. Your plans, your dreams, your fears about birth and parenthood. Our care is crafted to fit your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported, informed, and empowered From the moment you choose us until well after your little one arrives, we're with you. The same familiar faces will guide you through prenatal visits, birth, and postnatal care. It’s all about building trust and connection, at the heart of our midwifery practice lies a deep-rooted belief in the power and importance of the midwife-mother/parent relationship.

What you say about us

We still always refer to Virginia as the magical being that came peacefully into the house from the snow! And I still feel bad that you were waiting outside!! I need to let that one go! Xxx
We got so lucky having you at the birth of S. I am so thankful I got to have him where I feel most safe. Words can't express how grateful l am for all your support during birth and beyond. I'll never forget all you've done for us. Your passion and care is incredible. You are one of a kind. Keep shining at what you do.
Thank you for looking out for us these last few months. You made a really rough time managable and with your love and dedication we would have been truly lost. Your dedication to your job and patents is admirable. I wish there were more midwives with your skills, kindness and compassion. You really are one of the best!
