White Rose Midwives

Private Midwifery Care accross West and North Yorkshire
Sarah Flower and Pip Harper are Independent Midwives supporting women and their families through pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

I'm a mum, a midwife, a babywearing consultant and a baby massage instructor

Independent Midwife
I offer a variety of services as a midwife and can provide a full package of antenatal, labour birth and postnatal care or I can offer antenatal and postnatal packages to 'top up' your NHS midwifery care.
Antenatally I will visit you in your home so no waiting around in a clinic! I can do visits evenings and weekends if this suits you better.
In labour I can provide your midwifery care if you choose to birth at home or I can accompany you as a birth partner if you choose to birth in hospital.
Postnatally I visit for at least six weeks so you can be sure we will have plenty of time to get feeding and transitioning to life with a new baby off to a great start.

Babywearing Consultant
Let me help you explore the different ways to comfortably and safely carry your baby whether they're newborn, toddling around or somewhere in between.
I have a small sling library and can show you a number of different slings and carriers to find what best suits your needs and you're welcome to borrow one to give it a go before buying your own.
I don't sell slings but I can point you in direction of people that do and can usually also pass on a discount code.

Baby Massage
I was a massage therapist first and chose to specialise in treatments for mums-to-be and baby massage so along with my experiences as a midwife and a mum I am able to personally tailor a routine for you and your baby depending on the age and needs of your baby
My classes are suitable from birth because of my background although most people like to wait until baby is 6 weeks, it's up to you!
I cover a full body routine including the ever popular colic and wind routine and my classes also cover how to adapt and change baby massage as your baby grows and starts to crawl, helping you to keep massage in their daily routine.
As a babywearing consultant I also include using baby massage 'on the move' with baby in a sling /carrier which is useful for encouraging naps while out and about and for keeping baby happy in the queue at the supermarket : )
