Anne Stafford graduated from King’s College London with a Diploma of Higher Education in Midwifery and a Bachelor of Science degree in Midwifery.
In common with all practising midwives in the UK, she is registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
HypnoBirthing®
Anne holds the certificate in Clinical Hypnosis from the London College of Clinical Hyposis and is currently studying for their Diploma. Hypnosis is very effective in putting the woman in control of her labour and it generally makes it shorter and more comfortable. The sessions are tailored to the individual woman's needs. Anne offers this service to any pregnant woman, whether or not a midwifery client.
Reflexology
Anne qualified as a Reflexologist in 2006. Reflexology uses the principles of zone therapy and pressure points. It holds that the organs and structures of the body are mapped onto the soles of the feet and some conditions can be diagnosed, alleviated or treated by working the zones and pressure points. Reflexology can also be wonderfully relaxing.
Postnatal service
The first days and weeks of a baby's life are very precious and new parents can underestimate the support they need at this time. To help at this time, Anne offers a Postnatal Visiting Service; details available on her website.
Booking an independent midwife
She would strongly advise a pregnant woman considering employing an Independent Midwife to book one as early as possible in the pregnancy. This gives the best chance to benefit from the unique care she offers.
As she work outside the NHS she can offer one-to-one care throughout your pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. All antenatal visits take place in your home.
When labour starts Anne will come to your home where the decision will be yours to stay for the birth or go in to hospital.
Anne always works with a back up midwife who you would meet a few times before your baby is born.
Although Anne enjoys being present at home births, the choice is always yours about where to give birth.
Included in her service are up to ten postnatal visits - usually daily for the first five days at home and then tailing off, with the last visit around week four of your baby’s life.
