Welcome to Holistic Midwifery Care

With over two decades of experience in midwifery, I deeply value the importance of continuity of care. Building a trusting and empowering professional relationship from the moment you discover your pregnancy is incredibly beneficial.

Why Choose My Services?

Many clients seek me out for my midwifery expertise and my holistic approach to perinatal care. I offer an essential extra layer of support, from relieving pregnancy sickness and preparing for a calm caesarean section to gently aiding postnatal recovery.

Comprehensive Care for Pregnancy Discomforts

I can help alleviate a variety of pregnancy-related discomforts and ailments, including:

Pregnancy sickness
Heartburn
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)
Exhaustion
Insomnia
Swollen ankles
Natal anxieties
Using a blend of complementary therapies such as massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, acupressure, and hypnotherapy, I tailor treatments to your specific needs.

Preparation Packages for Any Birth

Whether you’re planning a home birth, a hospital delivery suite birth, or an elective caesarean, I’m here to support you. With a combination of hands-on physical treatments and hypnobirthing techniques, I help prepare your mind and body for the birthing process. During our sessions, I share knowledge, tools, and techniques to help you feel calm, prepared, and present. My treatments soothe your nervous system and enhance your sense of well-being.

Postnatal Recovery

In the UK, postnatal care often focuses on the needs of the newborn. However, other cultures emphasise the importance of the mother’s recovery. Having worked abroad and learned traditional postnatal care methods, I prioritise physical healing and emotional/hormonal regulation in the weeks and months following birth.

Words from Alexis (she/her)

Welcome! I am a fully registered Midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).  I have worked in the NHS and private practice since 2004 spending my formative years working as part of an award winning case-loading team in a large London NHS hospital.  

Since moving to Brighton with my young family,  I have worked in antenatal and postnatal education.  Notably co-writing two highly acclaimed books;  ‘The little book of self-care for new mums‘ and ‘The little book of self-care for mums to be‘.

The little book of self care for new mums

Deep expertise

As part of my continuing professional development, I completed a Diploma in ‘Midwifery Complementary Therapies’, leading me into an independent role as a licensed consultant with Expectancy Ltd.

This fascinating, in-depth, year long course, was a huge addition to my practice, meaning that I could support pregnant and postnatal clients effectively with a wonderfully nurturing holistic approach.

I have a passion to provide you with the pregnancy support you deserve and I would love to talk to you.
