About Me
Hey! I’m Bailey
Founder & lead at Your Private Midwife
Providing Unique Midwifery Care in Yorkshire & Beyond.
So Many Choices, So Many Hormones—Let’s Make This Easy.
Pregnancy is a wild ride—your brain is in overdrive, your body is doing things you never expected, and suddenly, everyone has an opinion on what you should do next. That’s where Your Private Midwife comes in.
Providing Private Midwifery care in areas like Leeds, York, Sheffield, Manchester, Cheshire & further afield.
Hey, I’m Bailey!
I’m a midwife, mum, and the founder of YPM, and I’m here to cut through the noise and help you create a pregnancy, birth, and postnatal experience that’s entirely on your terms. I’ve spent over a decade supporting families—first within the NHS, and now as an independent midwife—because I know women deserve better than a one-size-fits-all maternity system.
Here’s the thing: I don’t work for a hospital, a system, or a tick-box care model. I work for you. My job is to make sure you have the knowledge, confidence, and support to step into birth like the main character you are. Think of me as your midwife-meets-hype-woman, blending holistic, choice-led midwifery with expert clinical care, so you feel heard, informed, and totally in control.
Both of my own babies were born at home while I was working as an NHS community midwife, and that experience changed everything for me. It reinforced what I already knew- continuity, relationship-based care, and real choice make all the difference. And the research agrees! Women who have their own midwife see better outcomes, better births, and better postnatal recovery. It’s not magic- it’s just midwifery done properly.
I’ve walked this journey myself, and now I’m here to walk it with you. You deserve to feel powerful, informed, and supported every step of the way—let’s make that happen.

Let’s create something truly unforgettable.
Bailey is the midwife I want by my side throughout pregancy, during birth and postnatally. Her reassurance, availability and empowerment at providing choices, enabled me to have the birth I wanted despite some unexpected changes. Her breastfeeding advice following birth was invaluable and she was alongside me cheering as I experienced all the highs and lows of entering motherhood. Thank you for your continued support.
When I’m Not Catching Babies…
When I’m off duty (which, let’s be honest, isn’t often!), you’ll probably find me belting out show tunes in my kitchen, chasing after my two wild ones, or getting far too competitive in a family board game night.
I have a deep love for musical theatre, good coffee, and a perfectly timed Instagram lip-sync. If there’s a way to make midwifery education fun, relatable, and maybe even a little dramatic—you bet I’m doing it.
I’m also a big believer in slow mornings, deep chats, and the power of a strong support network. Just like in birth, life is all about finding your people and creating the moments that matter.
