About Us

Sheryl & Sue have been working together since 2003 and share a similar midwifery philosophy, in which women and their babies are 'the stars' and our role is providing holistic care,  taking account of individual social, cultural, physical, spiritual and emotional needs.

We both maintain our own caseload with the benefits of being supported by each other when required, ensuring the women we work with have access to a complete midwifery service 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.  This back-up is essential if we are with another birthing woman and also to allow us to take regular time off, which is important not only for our own health and well-being, but also to ensure we do not become too tired to care for you safely.   During pregnancy the women we care for have the opportunity to meet their back-up midwife so they are familiar with us both.
