Private MidwifeLactation Support in London

I am a lactation consultant and private midwife in London offering tailor-made counsel and support throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

 

I have over a decade of experience working in the NHS maternity system and have witnessed first-hand how challenging it can be to find accessible and consistent support in a way that puts you at the centre.

As a private midwife in London, my services bridge the gap between NHS and private maternity care and lactation support.

I know that the long intervals between NHS appointments, lack of time and continuity, and conflicting information can leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. This is where I can help.

​

Working with a private midwife offers peace of mind, continuity and care that adapts to your individual journey - whether you're planning your first baby or expanding your family.

 

You all deserve the opportunity to feel heard, supported, and empowered with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions for yourself and your family. I offer a mix of in-person and virtual consultations so if you're looking for compassionate, expert care that supports you from preconception through to parenthood, then please get in touch.

Midwifery Support

With specialist training in perinatal mental health, I take a holistic approach, holding your emotional needs at the core of my support to help you prepare and build your confidence as you navigate this transformative phase of your life.

​

From early pregnancy through to the postnatal period, I provide the kind of consistent, expert care that many expect from independent midwives in London.

Lactation Support

How you choose to feed your baby is entirely your decision, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. My approach is non-judgmental, realistic, and fully tailored to help you achieve your goals. Whether you’re preparing before your baby arrives or looking for guidance after you’re home, I provide consultations designed to set you up for success and help you stay - or get back - on track.

If you're searching for a private midwife in London who also specialises in lactation, I offer a unique blend of experience and empathy to guide you through every stage.

Midwifery Support

"After a traumatic first birth without sufficient support networks in place I was desperate to find a steady voice, someone to answer my anxious questions and guide me through the newborn stage. Miranda is simply all that."

"She is not just your “well informed big sister” but a fabulous human to have a cup of tea with. Miranda won’t force you to make any specific decisions. She will give you the tools to guide you to the best choices for you and navigate the complexities of the NHS to ensure you receive the best care possible. She set me up so well for success second time around during both the antenatal and busy postpartum period. I would highly recommend Miranda to all birthing and nursing parents who need a little extra support."
