The Closure of Private Midwives

I wanted to reach out personally following the recent news about Private Midwives’ closure.

While this marks the end of an era, I’m grateful to share that I’ve found a new home with Zest Midwives.

My new home is with Zest Midwives

After completing a few simple formalities, I’ll have everything in place to continue providing the birth care that means so much to both of us. (Antenatal & postnatal care is completely unaffected)!

I feel incredibly thankful to Private Midwives and all my dear colleagues for five beautiful years together. The support, shared wisdom, and genuine friendship have enriched my practice in countless ways.

To the lovely team at Zest Midwives, thank you for opening your doors and helping me begin this next chapter with such warmth and understanding.

To my precious clients, both current and expecting please know that your care remains at the heart of everything I do.

There’s absolutely no need to worry. Once the dust settles, I’ll be reaching out to each of you personally to chat through any questions and ensure your journey continues seamlessly.

Thanks so much for your understanding when I contacted you last night .

Thank you for your patience and trust during this gentle transition.

With love and gratitude 🩶
