Private Midwifery Care London
Your Motherhood Journey: Full Continuity & Home Birth - £9,000
Experience the gold standard of continuity with bespoke antenatal care, home birth, and postnatal care. My care is designed to provide your full clinical support, meaning you do not need to access NHS midwife services unless you choose to. From your first appointment through to your baby’s birth, you receive unhurried support and care in your own home.
To protect the deep relationship magic and safety of this care, I carry a caseload of a small handful of families per calendar year so that my time and energy remain completely dedicated to you. Custom packages available on request, including smaller packages or antenatal/postnatal care only.
During your pregnancy
First appointment: A two-hour booking visit in your home to take a full medical history and plan your care.
Regular visits: Monthly home visits until 28 weeks of pregnancy. From 28 weeks, we meet every two weeks until 36 weeks, and then weekly until your baby arrives. Care includes blood tests if required and screening, including NIPT from 11 weeks of pregnancy.
Birth preparation: Around 36 weeks, we do an extended two-hour birth preparation session to go through your birth plan, discuss labour physiology, answer all your questions, and prepare for birth at home.
Between visits: You have direct contact with me via phone and WhatsApp for questions and support.
The Birth
On-call: I am on call for you 24/7 from 37 weeks until 42+ weeks of pregnancy. VBAC, vaginal breech birth, and twins considered (twins incur extra fee to cover extra midwife).
Labour and birth: Continuous clinical care and support for your home birth. Entonox (Gas and Air) included. Birth pool included in package if desired (Birth Pool in A Box). Placenta Encapsulation included at no extra cost if desired ( Art print + Capsules).
Hospital support: In the unlikely event we need to transfer into the hospital for safety, I stay with you to provide continuous support and advocacy.
After your baby is born
Four weeks of postnatal care: Regular postnatal visits in your home over the first month to care for you and your baby.
Feeding support: Full breastfeeding support is built into all of our postnatal visits.
Tongue-tie care: A full tongue-tie consultation and division (if needed) are completely included in your package, with no extra fees.
Baby checks: Full Newborn Infant Physical Examination (NIPE) at home, regular baby weighing, and the Day 5 Newborn Blood Spot screening.
The Details
How to use it: You can use this as a complete standalone service, or alongside your routine NHS appointments.
Insurance: All care includes full clinical indemnity insurance and second midwife cover for sickness and birth support.

Specialist In Home Tongue-Tie Clinic
CQC-registered clinical care and lactation support by Anika Riesen, RM. Holistic home consultations in North and East London and Greater London.
Expert Clinical Evaluation
A thorough consultation of your baby’s oral anatomy & function and feeding history. I observe a full feed to identify the root cause of any challenges. We focus on oral exercises and bodywork to support feeding improvement.
Safe, Precise Division
If a restriction is identified, a frenulotomy (tongue-tie division) can be performed during the same visit or subsequent visit if needed. This minor surgical procedure is quick, precise, and CQC-registered for your peace of mind.
Hands-On Support
Includes immediate post-procedure feeding support, gentle oral exercises, and a bespoke feeding plan. Every family receives unlimited text/email follow-up and a complimentary 4-week re-assessment if needed. Additional follow-up for feeding support is £60.
