Juliet Albert, midwife and breastfeeding specialist, Northwest London, UK
Pregnancy, birth and the arrival of a new baby is one of the most important events in one's life. I decided to set up this service as so many women seem to be suffering at the hands of a fragmented, impersonal maternity system. I passionately believe in every woman's right to informed choice and continuity of care during this intimate and special time.
Located in Northwest London I cover all immediately surrounding areas; offering early pregnancy consultations, private antenatal classes, refresher courses for second pregnancies, and emergency breastfeeding consultations.
As a practising midwife for the last thirteen years, my aim is to provide family-centred care that is tailored to the unique experience of each individual woman; a personal service with home visits, private telephone consultations, and, of course, complete confidentiality.
