Pregnancy Support that addresses

common pregnancy problems

and enhances your pregnancy experience

Pregnancy should be a time of joy, but for many women it brings pain, fear, uncertainty,

and a system that doesn't always listen.

I help you navigate all of it

from the misery of morning sickness to the confidence to advocate for the birth you want.

"You have the right to ask questions, to challenge any decision using the BRAIN acronym, to change your mind, and to make decisions you choose are right for you.

Coercion has no place in maternity care.

I give you the tools and the confidence to make that real."

what I offer...

Pregnancy support from first trimester to birth

Every package has been designed to achieve best results based on my years of practice and experience.

Each package is 3 sessions unless otherwise stated.

Pregnancy Packages

1:1 with Midwife Sam

1 sessions · online

£150

  • One full hour with an independent midwife, just you and Sam

  • confidential, honest

  • independent, evidence-based information about your care

  • understanding your birth choices and rights

  • breech, birth choices and antenatal/postnatal options explained

  • support making decisions that feel right for you and how to navigate this through your care.

Sometimes you just need an hour with someone who really knows their stuff — and no agenda.

Whether you've been given information that doesn't feel right, you're facing a decision you're not sure about, or you just want to talk through your options with someone who'll give you the full picture — this is that space.

Independent. Confidential. Completely focused on you.

You are entitled to accurate information and choice — and sometimes the NHS system, through no fault of its own, doesn't have the time to provide that properly. That's exactly what this consultation is for.

Come with your questions. Leave with clarity.

Morning Sickness

3 sessions · in person

£250

  • acupuncture for nausea relief

  • aromatherapy & acupressure for use between sessions

  • nutritional & lifestyle guidance

  • Hyperemesis support

  • ongoing support between treatments.

Morning sickness can range from deeply unpleasant to completely debilitating.

Up to 9 in 10 pregnant women experience it and sounds manageable until you're actually living it. It's not just a bit of queasiness in the morning — for most women it's all day, it's relentless, and it makes the first trimester feel like something to survive rather than enjoy.

And for women with hyperemesis gravidarum, it's a whole different level — severe vomiting, weight loss, dehydration, and a condition that can last well beyond the first trimester. Getting treatment early can reduce the incidents of HG.

Whether you're struggling with general nausea that's making daily life miserable, or you've been diagnosed with HG and you're really suffering — you don't have to just white-knuckle your way through it. There's real support available, and it can make a profound difference to how you feel.

My morning sickness package is designed to bring genuine relief, support your body through the hormonal chaos of early pregnancy, and help you actually function again.

Breech Baby

3 sessions · in person/online

£250

  • understanding your options

  • positioning techniques

  • acupressure for ongoing treatment

  • birth planning

  • moxibustion guidance

Around 3 in 100 babies are still in a breech position by the time they reach term — and the moment a woman hears that word, she's often swept into a conversation about ECV or caesarean section before she's had a chance to think.

What most women don't realise is that they have choices — real ones. There are things we can do to gently encourage your baby to turn, and there are decisions to be made about your birth that nobody should be making for you without the full picture.

This isn't about going against medical advice. It's about making sure you actually understand your options — so whatever you decide, it's your decision, made with confidence.

This can be delivered online as well as in person, using acupressure, moxibustion guidance, positioning techniques, and the emotional work that is often quietly part of the picture.

Prepared to Push

A different kind of birth prepartion & how to advocate for yourself

3 sessions · in person

£250

  • Acupuncture to support your body from the inside out.

  • biomechanic techniques so your baby is the best position so you can work as a team

  • aromatherapy to gently nudge you into labour safely

  • understanding your birth rights

  • reducing intervention and promoting spontaneous birth.

This is the preparation that no one else offers. We work from the inside out using therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, biomechanics and aromatherapy. We discuss your birth preferences, your fears, your rights, and the exact language and questions that will get you the experience you want.

You have choices. You have rights. And you deserve a birth experience that reflects your wishes, not the convenience of the system. Coercion has no place in maternity care, and knowing how to respectfully and confidently challenge, question, and advocate for yourself can transform your birth experience.

supports shorter labour and reduced interventions including induction of labour

Overdue - Post Dates

up to 2 sessions · in person/online

£250

  • Aromatherapy & acupressure protocol (acupuncture if in person)

  • understanding your options at 40+ weeks

  • fear and anxiety support around being overdue

  • induction rights and how to negotiate.

  • partner guidance and involvement

Going past your due date brings enormous pressure — from the system, from family, and from your own anxiety. Induction is presented as the only option. But there is evidence-based, gentle support that can help your body begin labour naturally.

Audited NHS results show that 75–80% of first-time and subsequent mothers can go into labour naturally using aromatherapy and acupressure. I deliver this support fully in person or online, wherever you are.

Pregnancy Treatments

Pregnancy should be a wonderful experience, but it can throw curve balls and cause

unexpected common (and not so common) issues

So using a combination of midwifery and acupuncture expertise, below you can find

treatments that will reduce the symptoms you are experiencing...

Anxiety in Pregnancy

3 sessions · in person/online

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • racing thoughts,

  • panic attacks,

  • difficulty sleeping,

  • irritability,

  • and compulsive reassurance-seeking.

Anxiety in pregnancy affects 1 in 7 women in the UK — more common than antenatal depression — and it is highly treatable.

Pregnancy anxiety, also known as perinatal or antenatal anxiety, goes beyond normal worrying. When fear, intrusive thoughts, or overwhelm begin to affect your sleep, your daily life, or your enjoyment of pregnancy, it needs attention — not pushing through.

The treatments I use for pregnancy anxiety work by calming the nervous system, lowering stress hormones, and helping you feel genuinely settled.

Three sessions can make a profound difference to how you feel — and how you experience the rest of your pregnancy.

Carpel Tunnel

3 sessions · in person

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • tingling and numbness in the fingers and hands,

  • a throbbing or aching in the wrists and forearms,

  • swollen fingers, and difficulty gripping everyday objects.

  • Symptoms frequently worsen at night, disrupting sleep.

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects up to 60% of pregnant women — making it one of the most common physical complaints of pregnancy, yet one of the most overlooked.

Pregnancy carpal tunnel occurs when fluid retention causes swelling in the wrist, compressing the median nerve. It most commonly develops in the third trimester but can appear at any stage, and often affects both hands.

The treatments I use for pregnancy carpal tunnel work by reducing fluid build-up, relieving nerve compression, and restoring comfort to your hands and wrists.

Headaches/Migraines

3 sessions · in person

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • tension headaches across the forehead or at the back of the head,

  • one-sided migraine pain,

  • visual disturbances such as flashing lights or blind spots,

  • nausea,

  • a sensitivity to light and sound that makes daily life genuinely difficult.

Almost 4 in 10 women experience headaches during pregnancy — and with most pain medication off the table, many feel they simply have to suffer through them.

Headaches in pregnancy are most common in the first trimester as your body adjusts to surging hormones, increased blood volume, and shifting blood pressure. For women who already experience migraines, pregnancy can bring new triggers, changed patterns, and the added challenge of limited medication options.

The treatments I use for headaches and migraines in pregnancy work by addressing the underlying triggers — hormonal tension, muscle tightness, poor sleep, and nervous system dysregulation — rather than simply masking the pain.

Three sessions can significantly reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches, giving you real relief without medication.

High Blood Pressure

3 sessions · in person

£250

When symptoms appear may include:

  • persistent headaches,

  • visual disturbances,

  • swelling in the hands and face,

  • and a general sense that something feels wrong. The emotional weight of a high-risk diagnosis can also bring significant anxiety and stress — which in turn can affect blood pressure further.

High blood pressure affects 1 in 10 pregnant women in the UK — and managing it well is one of the most important things you can do for both yourself and your baby.

Hypertension in pregnancy ranges from gestational high blood pressure to pre-eclampsia, a more serious condition involving protein in the urine and other complications. It can develop at any stage and is often symptom-free, which is why regular monitoring matters.

The emotional weight of a high-risk diagnosis can also bring significant anxiety and stress — which in turn can affect blood pressure further.

The treatments I use for high blood pressure in pregnancy work by supporting the nervous system, reducing stress hormones, and promoting deep relaxation — all of which contribute to healthier blood pressure readings.

Always used alongside medical care, not instead of it.

Itching In Pregnancy

inc. ICP/Obstetric Cholestasis

3 sessions · in person

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • itching to palms or soles of feet

  • itching to abdomen

Itching affects 1 in 4 pregnant women — and while it is often dismissed, persistent or intense itching can be a sign of a serious liver condition that needs proper attention.

Itching during pregnancy is extremely common and is usually caused by hormonal changes and stretching skin. However, when itching is intense, occurs on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet, or worsens at night, it may indicate intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), also known as obstetric cholestasis — a liver condition requiring medical monitoring.

Whether your itching is general or related to ICP, the physical discomfort is real. Disrupted sleep, skin damage from scratching, and the anxiety of not knowing the cause can make pregnancy feel relentless.

The treatments I use work by reducing inflammation, supporting liver function, calming the nervous system, and bringing genuine relief to the skin and body.

Please note: ICP requires medical diagnosis and monitoring alongside any complementary treatment.

Restless Leg Syndrome

3 sessions · in person

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • an uncomfortable crawling, tingling, or aching sensation deep in the legs,

  • an overwhelming urge to move your legs,

  • symptoms that worsen in the evening or at night,

  • significant difficulty falling or staying asleep.


Restless legs syndrome affects around 1 in 4 pregnant women — and its impact on sleep, energy, and daily wellbeing is far greater than people realise.

Pregnancy RLS occurs when hormonal changes, iron deficiency, and increased demands on the nervous system trigger an irresistible urge to move the legs, particularly at rest. It most commonly peaks in the third trimester, precisely when good sleep matters most.

For many women it becomes one of the most exhausting and relentless parts of pregnancy.

The treatments I use for restless legs in pregnancy work by supporting the nervous system, improving circulation, and addressing the underlying imbalances that drive the symptoms.

Sciatica in Pregnancy

3 sessions · in person

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • sharp, shooting or burning pain radiating from the lower back through the buttocks and down one or both legs,

  • tingling or numbness in the leg or foot,

  • pain that worsens when sitting, standing for long periods, or making sudden movements.

Up to 50% of pregnant women experience sciatic pain — yet many are told it is simply something they have to live with until their baby arrives.

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — the largest nerve in the body, running from the lower back down through the legs — becomes compressed or irritated. During pregnancy, hormonal changes, your shifting centre of gravity, and your growing baby's position can all place pressure on this nerve, particularly in the second and third trimesters.

The treatments I use for pregnancy sciatica work by relieving nerve compression, releasing tight surrounding muscles, and restoring comfort and mobility. Three sessions can make a significant difference to how you move — and how you feel — for the rest of your pregnancy.

Sinusitis/Rhinitis

3 sessions · in person

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • a blocked or runny nose,

  • facial pressure and headaches,

  • disrupted sleep due to congestion,

  • snoring, mouth breathing,

  • a general feeling of fatigue and low mood that many women don't connect to their sinuses at all.

Pregnancy rhinitis affects up to 1 in 3 pregnant women — yet it is rarely talked about and frequently dismissed as just a cold.

Pregnancy rhinitis is persistent nasal congestion, stuffiness, and sinus pressure caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy — not by infection or allergy. It can occur at any stage of pregnancy and often worsens as your bump grows. For some women, it also triggers or aggravates sinusitis, making the discomfort even harder to manage.

The treatments I use for pregnancy rhinitis and sinusitis work by reducing inflammation, improving drainage, and easing the congestion that is making daily life so uncomfortable. Three sessions can make a meaningful difference, and finally give you a good night's sleep.

Sleep Issues/Insomnia

3 sessions · in person

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • difficulty falling asleep,

  • waking repeatedly through the night,

  • early morning waking with an inability to get back to sleep,

  • unrefreshing or shallow sleep,

  • an exhausting cycle of fatigue during the day that still doesn't translate into rest at night

Sleep problems affect more than 4 in 10 pregnant women — rising to over 60% by the third trimester, when good rest matters most.

Poor sleep in pregnancy is not just tiredness. Insomnia prevalence rises from 25% in the first trimester to over 40% in the third trimester, driven by a combination of physical discomfort, hormonal shifts, anxiety, and the many other pregnancy symptoms — pain, itching, restless legs, frequent waking — that make a full night's sleep feel impossible.

The treatments I use for sleep problems in pregnancy work by calming the nervous system, reducing the physical and emotional triggers that disrupt sleep, and helping your body remember how to rest deeply.

SPD/PGP and Pelvic Pain

3 sessions · in person

£250

Common symptoms include:

  • pain when walking and/or climbing stairs,

  • turning over in bed,

  • getting dressed, or standing on one leg

  • In and out of the car or a bath

  • can affect your sleep, your mood, and your confidence as your pregnancy progresses.

SPD/PGP affects 1 in 5 pregnant women in the UK — and while it is common, it is not something you simply have to endure.

Pelvic girdle pain, also known as symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), occurs when the joints of your pelvis become unstable during pregnancy. It can develop at any stage and ranges from a dull ache to pain that significantly limits your daily life. It can also radiate into the hips, thighs, and lower back — and can affect your sleep, your mood, and your confidence as your pregnancy progresses.

The treatments I use for SPD and pelvic girdle pain work by reducing inflammation, supporting joint stability, and restoring mobility. Three sessions can make a profound difference to your comfort — and how you move through the rest of your pregnancy.

Acupuncture is 100% effective in my work for SPD.

Tokophobia

3 sessions · in person

£250

Symptoms include:

  • panic attacks and severe anxiety when thinking about birth,

  • intrusive thoughts or nightmares,

  • avoidance of pregnancy-related information,

  • a deep sense of loss of control that overshadows the pregnancy entirely.

Up to 1 in 4 pregnant women experience significant fear of childbirth — and for some, that fear becomes truly overwhelming.

Tokophobia is an intense, often paralysing dread of pregnancy and childbirth. It can affect women expecting for the first time as well as those who have experienced a previous traumatic birth, pregnancy loss, or difficult medical procedure. Left unaddressed, it can affect every aspect of pregnancy — from attending appointments to making birth choices, to bonding with your baby.

The treatments I use for tokophobia work by gently reframing fear responses, building genuine confidence, and helping you feel safe in your body and in the process of birth.

Three sessions can transform how you feel about what lies ahead.

Your rights matter

You have the right

to the birth you want

As a registered midwife, I have seen too many women leave their birth experience feeling dismissed, overridden, or coerced. That is not acceptable. The maternity system does not always make it easy to exercise your rights — but those rights exist, and I will help you use them.

This runs through everything I do in pregnancy support. Whether you want a home birth, want to decline an induction, want to ask better questions, or simply want to feel like an active participant in your own care — I give you the language, the confidence, and the knowledge to make that happen.

Your birth experience matters. YOU matter.

The right to informed consent

Every intervention requires your genuine, informed agreement. You have the right to full information about risks and alternatives before saying yes to anything.

The right to ask questions - using BRAIN

What are the benefits, What are the risks, What are the alternatives, What does your intuition say? What if you do nothing? And the answers should be firmly corresponded to YOUR history and you.

The right to change your mind

Consent given yesterday can be withdrawn today, you can even withdraw consent during an examination. Your body, your birth, your decision - at EVERY point in the process.

The right to be heard

Your concerns, your instincts and your preferences are valid and deserve to be taken seriously by everyone involved in your care.
