Ilkley Private Midwife

Ilkley Private Midwife Hello, if you are looking for more support in your pregnancy or postnatal period please get in touch! Will I be a good parent? Will I be able to cope?

Hi, thank you for visiting my page and congratulations on your pregnancy or new baby. Unfortunately, pregnancy and being a parent can also bring with them feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, negative thoughts and being out of control. You are not on your own experiencing these feelings, however you are probably thinking you are. Are you disappointed with how you feel about being pregnant, maybe even g

uilty because you don't feel as excited as your partner? Does the thought of going through labour and giving birth fill you with dread and keep you awake at night? Does the thought of being a parent fill you with uncertainties? Will the baby like me? How will I manage financially? Are you already a parent only just managing to keep your head above water? Do you go to bed exhausted and wake up feeling less than refreshed? Are your days filled with worry, struggling to function as your usual self? Are you suffering with unexplained physical symptoms, headaches, stomach pains, nausea, skin problems, emotional eating, panic attacks, insomnia to name just a few? Anxiety won't go away on its own, and in order for you to enjoy this special time in your life I would like to help you. Together we will explore how your thoughts and belief systems are causing you to feel anxious. We will identify your 'triggers' that set off these feelings and work on reducing your daily emotional 'pressure gauge'. You will learn how to increase your self confidence and gain emotional control. These changes are not a 'sticking plaster' like so many other programs, I promise that you will see life long changes! Please do get in touch if you would like some more information about the services I provide. I offer a free 30 minute consultation by phone or zoom to see if my program is suitable for you.

Well this is exciting!! ☺️

This is a hard read, one that shouldn’t have needed to be written.
I feel incredibly saddened, and I must admit that I feel disappointed with my profession at this moment.

However, we need to make this better for pregnant couples and there are some things we/you can put in place.

🌟Things like learning how to advocate for yourself, and your birth partner knowing how to do this for you if required.

🌟Educating yourself about how labour and birth really work, and how to get yourself in the best possible position to manage it your way.

🌟Knowing how to navigate the maternity system and how to avoid getting trapped in a “tick box” exercise.

🌟Being aware of your ‘choices’ and how to make truly informed choices.

🌟How to articulate your needs and have some control over your care.

🌟Who to ask to speak to in hospital and how to get that important signature on your notes to make things happen!

I can help you with all these things. Please get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

Our Story

Hi, thank you for visiting my page and congratulations on your pregnancy! Please let me introduce myself - I am Amanda the 'hypnobirthing midwife' . I have 30 years experience of helping women give birth and I am Ilkley's longest established SPECIALIST hypnobirthing instructor. I teach The Wise Hypo Birthing Programme, the modern, fresh inspired hypnobirthing programme which is honestly THE BEST way to prepare for your labour and birth. I've seen first hand, literally hundreds of women give birth using these techniques and it completely bowls me over every time! You don't have to be planning a home birth or water birth, these techniques really make a difference to EVERY kind of birth including inductions, forceps and caesarean sections. I used hypnobirthing for the birth of my three sons and it was totally amazing! As an Independent midwife I can also offer you help and support with any medical issues you may have. I'm more than happy for you to take advantage of my in-depth knowledge and skills! Anyway, please have a look at my website www.mycalmbirth.com and see for yourself the wonderful work I do. I believe that I can have a positive effect on any family I work with and I would love to work with you ! Please do get in touch if you would like some more information about the classes and services I offer, speak soon :-)
