About Me
Hello, I'm Emma!
I am a private midwife and founder of Guided By You Midwifery. My journey into midwifery began with a truly positive birth experience during my third pregnancy. The care I received from one incredible midwife left a lasting impact and inspired me to pursue this path myself. At 46, as a single mother of four, I completed my midwifery degree with First-Class Honours and began a career that has become my life’s passion. Since qualifying in 2014, I’ve supported families across a wide range of settings, from high-risk hospital units to calm, empowering home births, always with compassion, respect, and the belief that care should be centred around you, while remaining grounded in safe practice, informed choice and professional accountability.
You can read more about my philosophy of care and the experiences that have shaped the midwife I am today.
Why Choose Me As Your
Private Midwife?
Choosing the right midwife is a deeply personal decision and one that can shape your entire pregnancy, birth, and postnatal experience.
As a private midwife, I offer something truly unique: continuity, time, and care that is entirely tailored to you. You won’t see a different face at every appointment or feel rushed through your questions. Instead, you'll be supported by someone who knows you, respects your choices, and walks alongside you throughout your entire journey.
I bring over a decade of experience in both NHS and private settings, and I have a particular passion for supporting home births, including HBAC or birthing outside of standard guidelines.
I’m confident, calm under pressure, and always led by evidence and empathy. Whether you’re looking for support through pregnancy, birth, or the postnatal period, I’m here for it all.
At Guided By You Midwifery, the name says it all. This is your pregnancy, your birth, and your choices. My role is to provide relationship-led, compassionate, holistic, one-to-one midwifery care, combining professional expertise with an approach that is truly guided by you, supporting your physical, emotional and practical needs, while helping you feel safe, heard, informed and genuinely cared for every step of the way.
