Yorkshire's Award-Winning Private Midwife
If you're searching for a Yorkshire midwife who actually knows your name, has time for your questions, and will be there - actually there - on the day your baby arrives, you've found her.
The Yorkshire Midwife Who Puts You Back in the Centre
I'm Bailey - independent midwife, fellow mum, and the woman who will show up for you in a way the system simply can't.
I've spent over a decade supporting families across Yorkshire to have births they look back on with pride, power, and zero apology. And in 2026, I was named Independent Midwife of the Year - not because birth needs to be fancy, but because every woman deserves to feel this supported.
If you're tired of rushed appointments, strangers at your birth, and being told to "just trust the system" - this is where that changes.
You are the main character. It's time your midwife treated you like it.
Independent Midwife of the Year 2026
★★★★★"Bailey just gets it. We knew from our very first interaction she was the midwife for us - loving, compassionate, fun and factual, all whilst respecting our choices. Our home birth in Harrogate was everything we'd hoped for."
- Jenni, HarrogateWhat a Yorkshire Midwife Should Look Like
A private Yorkshire midwife isn't just "the NHS but more expensive." It's a completely different model of care - one that was designed around you, not the system.
The Same Midwife, Every Time
No strangers. No repeating your story. Bailey from your positive test to your postnatal recovery - that's what continuity actually means.
Appointments That Last
Not 10 minutes. Not 15. As long as you need. Every question answered. Every concern heard. In your own home, on your terms.
Your Choices, Protected
Home birth, hospital birth, VBAC, water birth - your decisions are honoured, not overridden. Evidence first, policy never.
Someone in Your Corner
Direct access to Bailey - not a helpline, not a callback system. A real relationship with the person who'll be holding your hand through labour.
NHS vs Private Yorkshire Midwife
This isn't a criticism of the NHS. It's just the reality of what each model offers - and what you deserve to know before you decide.
