Me & My Baby
I recently retired from midwifery due to a knee injury but am still keen to maintain my interest in ante-natal care and to have contact with expectant mothers. I aim to use my considerable experience to help you prepare for parenthood in a way which is interesting and instructive but informal. 

I believe that effective ante-natal education is an essential part of the journey towards becoming good parents. In our present climate many young families often move away from their home town and are unable to experience the benefits of support from an extended family.

 I would like to offer all of you the opportunity to share information, discuss plans for the birth of your baby, provide valuable information about your local services and offer professional advice, all within an informal and supportive group situation.

Sue Smith
Homeopathy is perhaps the leader of complementary and alternative forms of medicine. It provides a complete, gentle and permanent cure, physically as well as emotionally and people choose homeopathy as the safe, effective alternative for all the family's health. Homeopathic treatment works equally well either alongside or instead of ordinary medicine. Homeopathy also enhances and supports other complementary and alternative therapies and treatments.

My main specialism is Women's Health. To be more precise, this includes problems related to the Menstrual Cycle, the Menopause & Pregnancy as well as Anxiety, Stress & Depression.

Hypnotherapy4U
Hypnotic childbirth operates in three ways. Firstly, using hypnosis the fear is removed and the mother looks forward to the birth of her child. Secondly, the mother is taught deep relaxation techniques which allow the baby to move gently down the birth canal with each contraction. Thirdly, hypnotic anesthesia it taught which allows the mother to numb any part of here body which she feels discomfort.

Open heart surgery and amputations have been carried out with hypnotic anesthesia with no discomfort to the patients. Once the mother is trained in these methods which take about four, 1 hour sessions she can do this easily. The real benefits of hypnotic childbirth is the mother is wide awake enjoying the whole process with a minimum recovery time. The child enters this world in a very gentle, natural and loving way.

There is no evidence that either treatment harms Mum or baby when used knowledgeably, but I do use a restricted number of oils and vary the length of treatment to suit your stage of pregnancy. Enjoy a relaxing treatment on my special maternity beanbag.

You can also buy individually made creams, oils, shampoos, etc for D Day.

Nottingham Independent Midwives
As experienced midwives we can provide information and resources that you may not usually get from the NHS. Independent practice frees us up to allow a flexible approach to the uniqueness of women and their families. We also know some women choose to access some NHS services and want some independent services and we are happy to work this way.

We cherish home birth, usually it all unfolds normally. Our main role is to observe and support the physiological process. If there was a situation or emergency that required resources and skills available only at hospital we would recommend transfer. Our role if this happens will be to remain with you but to step back and more act in a more supportive way. We will explain this in greater detail at our first meeting with you.

Sole Nutrition Reflexology
Reflexology is a gentle yet effective therapy which helps maintain good health and well being, and can also help a large variety of health conditions. The theory of Reflexology is that the whole body is mirrored in the feet and hands as 'reflexes'.

By applying varying degrees of pressure on these reflex points, will help bring stimulation, circulation and healing energy to those parts of the body in need, therefore bringing the
whole body into a state of balance leading to optimal health.

Hayley has trained with Susanne Enzer, the inspirational ex-midwife maternity reflexologist and has worked successfully with mothers-to-be in helping to ease pregnancy symptoms and giving advice (including nutrition) and support all through the pregnancy and beyond.

Hayley also offers baby reflexology courses and postnatal reflexology.

Whilst we offer the vast majority of obstetric services available through the NHS we also provide several additional 'pregnancy awareness' services not universally available such as nuchal translucency screening for Down's syndrome, early and late pregnancy reassurance scans and sex determination. We recognise and understand the demand for these more personal services. We therefore provide you with a choice as to where, when and how you wish to be scanned during your pregnancy.
