Testimonials

'What an extraordinary person we invited into our lives to guide us through the most extraordinary time of our lives. Thank you for your wisdom, your unwavering belief that we will come through and your dedication to your job which allows us to feel so safe in your hands. We found a midwife and discovered a friend.'
Suzy, 2007 - Business Consultant

'You have provided the most outstanding and caring service to us. Delivering our son into the world in our bedroom remains in our hearts and minds as a very special moment. None of this would have been thinkable without your support and encouragement. Your experience and your caring nature are a truly unique and nurturing combination of skills.'
Irene, 2007 - PR Consultant

'Anja was very supportive throughout, whether it was considering alternatives or helping us make informed choices. The home birth experience will stay with me as a positive, life-affirming event. I think I was less positive about the concept of a homebirth before the event but now would have no hesitation recommending it or indeed Anja to anybody considering it.'

Ellie, 2007

'Your kindness, ability to offer advice without preaching or sounding coercive, and friendliness to our friends and family were wonderful; giving us space to do our own thing was too.
I never felt I was being rushed or pushed into anything during the birth. It was very gentle and loving. Your presence was very calming & the massage you gave with the labour oil was wonderful!'
Bella, 2007 - Mother

'I felt included throughout the pregnancy and birth. I felt that resources and support were offered to me antenatally. I was particularly grateful that we were effectively left to get on with it during the birth, with help gently offered when needed. This really allowed me to be part of the birth.'
Robin, 2007

‘I wanted to thank you for all your care, advice and kindness over the last 10 months. It has been a wonderful journey for Paul and I. We are different people to the ones you met in November. I cannot express how grateful I am for all the support you gave during the birth of Jack. It was such a positive experience. I felt so empowered. I am also immensely grateful for the help you gave us in the first few weeks of Jack’s life, there was so much to learn! Needless to say if we go for number two, you will be the first person we call.’
Helen, 2006
- IT project manager

'It is lovely to meet someone who has found their true vocation in life! You have an aura that brings with it a sense of the joy of birth rather than any negativity or fear. You are a breath of fresh air and have enabled me to have a sense of confidence in being able to have the birth that I wished for. We can't thank you enough for all of this or recommend you highly enough to anyone else considering a home birth.'
Samantha, 2006
- Lecturer

‘My decision to go with independent midwifery care was simple I wanted to ensure that I was given the best chance to give birth naturally, at home without medical intervention or drugs. In the end that is exactly what happened, along with a level of pre- and post natal care that was exemplary. We spent 9 months with Anja building a strong bond of trust and friendship. This contributed greatly to a relaxed and happy atmosphere for the labour and birth. We found Anja to be warm, knowledgeable and confident, and really knew what she was doing at the birth. Consequently our baby was delivered safely in an amazing environment of people, and one in which I believe has given the little one the very best start in life. We have already planned independent midwifery for the next little bundle of joy!’
Alex, 2006

‘Anja brings such a wonderful feeling of joy and calmness into the home.
You can see in her face that she truly loves her chosen vocation in life and we all have benefited hugely from her natural healing powers and caring nature.
I am so thrilled that she helped my daughter to have such a wonderful experience with natural childbirth, bringing my healthy and beautiful granddaughter into the world - as a water baby.’
Georgie, grandmother, 2006

‘We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the care, love, commitment and time you have given us over the last weeks: you were definitely the right midwife for us.’
