Looking for truly special maternity care? You’re so welcome here.

Offering anything from full continuity midwifery care grounded in physiology, trust, and relationship, supporting women to transition powerfully into motherhood, to one off appointments to empower families to navigate NHS services.

Inviting Daisy from Mama Sanctuary into your life is a mutual investment of love, time, and experience in you and your family.

At Mama Sanctuary, Daisy believes that women deserve to be truly heard. We believe pregnancy and birth are not clinical events to be managed, but profound life experiences that shape how women feel about themselves, their baby, their bodies, and their journey into parenthood. Birth has a life-long impact on families, and is worth investment.  

We hold you so you can hold them.

Families who work with me understand the importance of private midwifery care

Full continuity of care, long unhurried appointments, and a physiology-centred approach ensures you are held with expertise, compassion, and respect. This is care that prioritises your choices, nurtures confidence, and creates the conditions for calm, supported, and transformative birth experiences.

I founded Mama Sanctuary after over twenty years as an NHS midwife.

Throughout that time, I witnessed again and again that relationship-based, continuity-of-carer midwifery led to the most meaningful and transformative outcomes for women and families, and that offering this kind of care required stepping beyond the constraints of the NHS. The families I work with recognise the value of investing in their maternity care, helping to lay a positive foundation for their journey into parenthood.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for a birth experience I didn’t think was possible for me.

One people only dream about. I can hear your voice in my head now saying “It was all you!”, but I believe that is far from the truth. Your presence, voice and words brought me so much calmness.”
