Hi, I'm Mollie.
I became a midwife because I believed in what midwifery could be — not what it so often is. From the very beginning of my training, I knew that the model of care I wanted to offer couldn't exist within the constraints of the NHS.
So I chose a different path. I've been an independent midwife since the start of my career, and I've never once doubted that decision.
Working privately means I work entirely for you — no targets, no rotas, no pressure to move you along.

My midwifery journey began in 2017, and I qualified in 2021 (with a slight delay - we all know what was happening in 2020!).
After a short time working in the NHS, I followed my instincts and transitioned to independent midwifery, knowing this model of care was the right fit for both me and the families I support. Read more about the benefits of midwifery care here.
Since then, I have undertaken extensive training in lactation and am proud to be an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). You can read more about what that means here.
Alongside my clinical practice, I’m a Masters student, studying Research Methods, with the aim of strengthening my ability to undertake research and contribute to the evidence base that guides midwifery practice.
I believe that the journey to motherhood is transformative, regardless of whether it is your first or fifth baby, and regardless of what happens to you. These experiences have the power to shape who we are and how we mother. My role is to provide you with sensitive, compassionate midwifery support throughout. I will support you and your choices, with respect and without judgement, and provide information and evidence to you, so you can make choices that feel right for you.
What I Believe.
VALUES THAT SHAPE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WAY I WORK
Autonomy
Your right to make informed choices about your own body and birth — without pressure, without judgement.
Evidence
Critically examined research, placed in your hands so you can decide what's right for you.
Community
Women supporting women. Building something beyond an appointment — a space where mothers feel seen.
What Makes Independent Midwifery Different?
WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME, YOU GET SOMETHING THE NHS CAN'T PROVIDE
One Midwife
From your first appointment to your last postnatal visit, it's me. No unfamiliar faces.
Your Home
All antenatal appointments in your own space. No waiting rooms. No rushing.
Your Choices
I'm here to inform and support — not to steer. Whatever path you take, I walk it with you.
Access To Me
Available by WhatsApp, email or phone between appointments. Because questions don't wait.
Qualified, Experienced and Always Learning
I take my professional development seriously — not because I have to, but because the women I work with deserve the very best of what midwifery has to offer.

Working In Partnership
I work in close partnership with Lucy Buddingwood, meaning you'll have two known, trusted midwives on call and in attendance for your birth. You'll meet Lucy before your due date — no unfamiliar faces when the moment comes.
Lucy and I trained together as student midwives, and have been friends and colleagues since then. We have three little ones between us and offer mother-to-mother support in partnership to our clients. We have very similar core values and act as second midwives to each other’s clients.
