Non Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT)
First trimester genetic testing is now available in your home in East Sussex. From 10 weeks gestation, a simple blood test will give you the answers you're looking for about baby's health in just 4 days.
We've upgraded our NIPT from the Harmony test to include detection of more genetic anomalies such as Turner, Klinefelter, Triple X and XYY syndromes. All NIPT samples will include testing for Down's, Edward's and Patau's syndromes.
At no additional cost, the new NIPT can also include determination of your baby's sex.
It's all in your control. We talk about all your testing options and you are at choice every step of the way, deciding what tests you wish to have for your peace of mind. You're also in control of how you receive the results.
For more information about our NIPT, please read the information leaflet here:

You’re doing your research. You're going to the antenatal classes. You’re pretty much ready to fill in your birth plan template but you're unsure... Because you heard the stories and you know the truth... Birth rarely goes to plan.
And you're right! When your plan meets the unpredictability of labour and it can't adapt in real time to what's happening, you feel lost, your confidence gets knocked and you may make decisions out of fear. In those challenging moments, it's not a list of preferences that will hold you steady and guide you through with intention.
It’s knowing how to make the best decisions for you, whatever comes your way.
It’s feeling confident and heard, even in the hard moments.
It’s having clarity about what matters most to you, not just in theory but in reality.
That's exactly why I created Birth Mapping
After 15+ years of supporting women through birth - first in busy hospitals in California, Central America and Italy, in NHS labour wards and as a homebirth midwife, then in my private practice - I kept seeing the same pattern: brilliant women with detailed birth plans who felt completely unprepared when things didn't go according to script.
Traditional birth plans weren't working. So I developed something that does.
Birth Mapping is my unique methodology - born from over a decade of clinical experience around the world and refined through supporting hundreds of women through every type of birth imaginable. It's not another template or checklist. It's a completely different approach.
So what's Birth Mapping?
Birth Mapping is a 2-hour session with me and your birth team where we turn your birth plan into a powerful and flexible tool that can be applied to any situation you may navigate.
From your dream birth to the different scenarios and decisions that might come up, we map out how to stay aligned with what actually matters to you: your values and priorities.
We don’t just talk about whether you want an epidural or a water birth.
It's not about the single options and interventions.
We're flipping the script. And we're putting YOU, your feelings, your goals, your family at the very centre: safe, in control, supported, respected.
This methodology has evolved from my years of seeing what actually works in real birth spaces - not just in theory, but when the pressure is on and decisions need to be made quickly.
This session is for you if -
-
You’re nervous about losing control in the moment and want tools to navigate tough decisions confidently
-
You want to feel prepared for whatever birth may bring
-
You want to go beyond the black-and-white of “natural vs medical” and feel confident in what's right for you at each turn.
-
You want to know that however things unfold, you’ll walk away from your birth feeling empowered and proud.
-
You’ve had a difficult birth before and want this one to feel different, more supported and more you.
You’ll walk away with -
-
Clarity, confidence and a completely different energy around birth
-
Real-life strategies for making confident decisions in the moment
-
A birth map that includes your preferences, your emotional goals, your strategies and your response plan
-
The winning mindset to stand strong in your power, even under pressure
You've got this! Now let me show you the way.
Birth Mapping
Turn your birth plan from a "wish list" into a tool that actually works
Because birth trauma doesn’t come from a C-section or an induction. It comes from feeling powerless, scared or blindsided. And that’s what I'm here to prevent.
Fee: £199
Feeling pressured to make decisions you're not ready for?
If you're in your third trimester and find yourself stuck between fear, pressure, and a million "what ifs" — you're not alone. At 37-38 weeks, the conversation changes. Suddenly it's all about induction. The word "risk" starts popping up a lot, often without clarity or context. Should you book a sweep? Is induction your best option? How long will you "be allowed" to stay pregnant for?
You want to make the right choices for you and not get railroaded.
You want to feel safe.
You just want help to choose not based on pressure, policy, or fear but based on facts and what's important to you looking at the full picture.
That's exactly why I created The Last Stretch
After supporting hundreds of women through this exact crossroads - both in NHS settings where I witnessed the pressure first-hand, and as an independent midwife helping women navigate these final weeks with agency - I know how overwhelming this phase can feel.
I've seen too many brilliant mamas pushed into decisions simply because they didn't have access to clear, unbiased information when they needed it most.
Together, we will:
-
Look at your unique history, preferences and concerns - so you'll walk away knowing exactly what applies to YOUR pregnancy, not just general statistics
-
Explore the actual evidence around induction, sweeps, and continuing pregnancy - so you'll understand the real facts, not just the fear-based messaging.
-
Translate risks and stats into something that makes sense for you as an individual - so you can make decisions with confidence, knowing what the numbers actually mean for you and your baby.
-
Unpack the pressure so you can see clearly again - so you'll feel calm and centered in your choices, not rushed or bulldozed.
-
Build a plan that you feel confident about. One you can stand behind in any conversation - so you'll walk into any appointment feeling prepared and empowered to advocate for yourself
-
And if you're a local mama, integrate it all with a deeply relaxing massage to support your nervous system, calm your mind, and boost your oxytocin levels (your body's natural labour-starting hormone) - so you'll feel physically and emotionally ready for whatever comes next
Just you, me, and a clear path forward you can walk with confidence — grounded in research, guided by your story and values, and supportive of your version of a positive birth.
The Details:
-
90-minute private session - Long enough to cover everything properly, without feeling rushed
-
Personalised data and info based on your pregnancy - Relevant evidence that actually applies to your unique situation.
-
30–45 minute massage (only for mamas in the Hastings area - East Sussex) - Leave feeling physically relaxed and emotionally centered
-
Online option (full discussion without massage) available - Get the clarity you need, wherever you are
The Last Stretch
For mamas in limbo. Move into the final days of pregnancy feeling confident, calm and ready.
You're asked to make massive decisions about your baby and your birth, with very little actual support and data. And the weight of it feels heavy AF.
This is your space to exhale, to ask the real questions, to get clear and feel ready. No more spiralling. No more fear-based decisions you might resent later.
Fee: £199 - in person
£150 - online
This is clinical expertise meets compassionate support - because your final weeks should feel empowering, not overwhelming.
You're weeks (or months) past birth, but your body still feels like a stranger. You leak when you laugh. Your tummy feels hollow and weak. That scar pulls in weird ways. Everyone asks how the baby is sleeping. No one asks how YOU are healing.
"Is this normal?" shouldn't be your most Googled question at 3am.
Your 6-week check was basically "Contraception sorted? any questions? No? Great, see you for smears." Two minutes of small talk and you're cleared for "normal activities" - but nothing about your body feels normal.
You might have Googled "Mummy MOT" hoping someone, somewhere, will check on you properly and give you real answers about what's happening to your body. But even with Mummy MOT professionals it's hard to find someone who's an expert in postnatal fitness and who fully understands your mama life and needs the may a midwife does.
That's where the Wise Mamas Postnatal MOT comes in.
For the last 15+ years I've supported hundreds of women through recovery as their midwife and postnatal fitness coach, I understand the whole picture - your birth story, your healing process, and exactly what your body has been through.
Together, we'll check:
-
Your abdominal separation - So you'll know exactly what's happening and what actually works to help it heal
-
Pelvic floor function - So you can stop wondering if leaking/heaviness/discomfort is just "part of being a mum now"
-
C-section or perineal scar healing - So you'll understand what's normal and what needs attention
-
How your core is really working - So you can rebuild strength from the inside out, not just hope for the best
-
What movement and exercise you're actually ready for - So you can get back to feeling strong without risking setbacks
You'll walk away with:
-
Clear answers about what's happening in your body
-
A solid plan for your recovery (no unrealistic expectations)
-
Confidence to move forward without fear
-
The relief of finally being properly checked by someone who understands you
Whether you're 6 weeks or 6 months postpartum, it's never too early — or too late — to get the proper postnatal care you deserve.
Available in your home (Hastings area) or online.
Postnatal MOT
Everything you hoped your 6 week check would be: personal, expert-led, and actually useful.
90 min session
Fee: £150
This isn't a tick-box exercise. It's a 1:1 proper assessment by someone who gets you — how your body has healed, how you’re feeling, what’s working, what needs support and how to move forward.
Your path to getting back to “you” — to feel strong again, to carry your baby without aches, to run for a bus without thinking twice, to lift the buggy without wincing.
