How I Support Families

PRIVATE MIDWIFERY SERVICES

You already know something is missing.

That feeling that your pregnancy deserves more than ten minutes and a tick box. That birth is something to move through with power, not something to survive. That the weeks after your baby arrives matter just as much as the day itself.

You’re not asking for too much. You’re asking for what was always supposed to be there.

This is Rise. One midwife. Your whole journey. The clinical and the sacred, held together.

Interest-free payment plans available on all packages.

Real stories from families i serve

Rhiannon, eastbourne
My first birth didn't go as planned, so I wanted control over my second. V and Nelly didn't just support me - they helped me remember my power. They made my birth liberating. 10/10 - I wouldn't hesitate.

"You made me feel heard, held and honoured in birth. You held space for me and gave me real connection. You gave me heart-led care and integrity. I wish every pregnant woman could have the experience I've had with you. You have an inner deep wisdom and encompass the sacred feminine."
kirstylewes
The midwife you were for me and for Finn changed me in the most profound way. It was such a healing experience for our family and the expert skill and kindness you gave to us will remain a source of joy for us always

"I was very lucky to have Virginia as one of my midwives when giving birth at home. She was absolutely amazing She didn't do checks for the sake of it but did what was necessary and what I was ok with! What I really appreciated is that I felt safe, she was grounded and said comforting words to me while giving birth. I highly recommend her ! She was wonderful. You will be in safe and kind hands! Being treated like a Goddess! ".
SarahLEWES
I had a very rapid labour at home. I really wanted a low intervention home birth, but the speed at which my daughter came into the world was a bit of a shock, particularly as she’s my first child. Virginia was incredible. Her presence was one of gentle confidence, respect and loving intelligence. My husband and I felt in the safest of hands as she helped move and shift me through the transitions of birth. She also managed to take some amazing photos and videos of the birth that I treasure. I only wish I could have had more care from her postpartum! I would highly recommend her as a superb midwife.

Beyond complete midwifery care packages, we offer:
  • Private Antenatal or Postnatal Visit £ 222

    Single appointment in the comfort of your home, during preconception, pregnancy or after your birth. You will have all the time to explore your needs.

  • power hour - virtual £ 111

    Do you want to discuss any aspect of your maternity journey? Perhaps you need a second opinion, space to talk something through, or support navigating a challenging situation.

  • IBCLC consultation £ 155

    Private breastfeeding consultation and tongue-tie assessment with our lactation consultant.

  • NIPT test
    £ 360

    Private non-invasive prenatal screening offered in your home. This test looks at fragments of your baby's DNA in your blood to provide accurate information about the likelihood of common chromosomal conditions from 10 weeks.

Alongside midwifery and consultations, I offer sacred practices and healing work for integration, trauma release, and honouring your journey.

sacred offerings & healing work

  • closing ceremony £ 155

A ritual to honour and close your pregnancy and birth journey. This can mark the end of breastfeeding, the completion of postpartum healing, or any transition that needs acknowledgment. A sacred space to integrate what has passed and step forward into what comes next.

  • birth trauma release £ 180

Birth reflection and gentle trauma processing using the 3-step rewind method. A safe, non-invasive way to work with difficult emotions from birth – whether recent or years past. This work helps your nervous system process what happened so you can move forward without carrying the weight of it.

  • placenta medicine £70-210

Your placenta sustained your baby for months. Encapsulation creates capsules you can take postpartum to support recovery, energy, and milk supply. Tinctures preserve the medicine for years – useful during times of transition, illness, or whenever you need grounding. You can also choose placenta prints (capturing the tree of life pattern as art) and umbilical cord keepsakes. This work honours the extraordinary organ that created and sustained life.

  • mother blessing from £170

A gathering of your women to honour you before birth. This is not about the baby or gifts – it’s about you, the woman crossing into motherhood or birthing again. We create ceremony together: blessings spoken, intentions set, rituals that ground you in your power. You enter birth knowing you are witnessed, supported, and held by your circle.
