Private Midwifery Services for Cheltenham
At Maternology we offer private and individualised midwifery care, to suit every pregnant woman’s needs. Evidence shows that full ‘Continuity of Care’ in pregnancy, greatly improves all outcomes for women and their babies. With an overstretched NHS service, often many women feel that they do not receive the level of care and attention that they would wish for, during their pregnancy and in the postnatal period.
As an experienced Community Midwife, I understand the need for protected time to talk through your worries, concerns and expectations in pregnancy. Sadly, NHS midwives are constrained to appointment slots of only fifteen minutes to half an hour and this does not allow sufficient time to fully discuss your needs and answer the questions that you will most likely have. This is why we believe that appointments should last as long as is required. They will never be rushed and you will always get the chance to discuss any issues that you might have in full.
Natural therapies from a qualified midwife...
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I will be unable to provide massage therapies to clients in Cheltenham, from the 10th July going forward.
I am still providing private antenatal and postnatal care, in the home setting, and will be able to provide private frenulotomy (tongue tie) procedures to clients, in their home, by early next year.
My therapy room in Redditch is still available for anti & postnatal massage therapies, for those who are happy to travel.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many clients that I have met and massaged in Cheltenham.
O U R A I M
Safety is at the forefront of our care. I am an experience registered midwife, with a passion for continuity of care. I strongly believe in choice and individualised care that puts you in the driving seat. I am specifically trained in massage, aromatherapy for pregnancy, baby massage and baby yoga and so can offer holistic care to compliments your standard care in pregnancy and beyond.
At each consultation I will always undertake a risk assessment and use the best available evidence in order to provide you with the safest and most appropriate care for you and your baby. I have full indemnity insurance provided by The Royal College of Nurses and The Federation of Holistic Therapies and therefore you can be safe in the knowledge that all consultations and treatments provided are safe and appropriate for your individual needs.
I will always give you the opportunity to ask questions in order to alleviate and address any concerns you may have. Having a say in your own care can be empowering and lead to a more fulfilling and relaxed pregnancy and birth experience.
* The consultation process may highlight to me issues that, as a Midwife, I may feel that need to be explored for your well-being. (For example, many ladies during pregnancy may experience headaches or itching, which could be an indicator of a more serious underlying issue). If this should arise, I will discuss this with you and with your permission may undertake some further assessments to ensure your safety and well-being and refer where appropriate.
I would recommend anyone who is thinking of hiring a private midwife to speak with Angie. If we have another pregnancy, we will definitely call her again!
