Most people who find me have already been let down somewhere along the way.

Told they can't have a home birth.

Told they'll be managed rather than heard.

Told no, without much explanation, at the exact moment they needed someone to actually listen.

I don't work that way, and if that's what you've experienced so far, you're in the right place.

Decades in, I still work the same way: paying close attention, staying fully flexible, and never assuming I already know what you need before I've actually listened.

Being turned away once doesn't mean the answer stays no.

Heather has spent decades working with families and situations that require more consideration, from breech and twin pregnancies to complex histories and late bookings after other options have closed.

• Breech & Twins

  Experienced support for births that require additional thought, planning, and clinical capability.

  
  

• Complex Situations

  Honest conversations about what is realistic and achievable for your individual circumstances.

  
  

• Late Bookings

  If other providers have said no late in your pregnancy, there may still be a safe way forward.

  
  

You already know what you want. You just need someone who won't try to talk you out of it.

That's the whole job, as far as I'm concerned. Not managing you. Not managing your expectations down. Listening to what you actually want, telling you honestly what I see, and backing you the rest of the way.

Whatever stage you're at, tell me what's happening.

You don't need to have the right words for it, or a fully formed question.

Just tell me what's going on, and I'll take it from there.
