Why Wave?

We believe that midwifery is about more than clinical care. It is about building trusting relationships, holding space for each individual journey, and supporting families to feel confident, informed, and deeply cared for throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenthood.

Personalised, Individualised Care

Your pregnancy and birth journey is uniquely yours, and our role is to support you in a way that feels right for you. We offer individualised, personalised care that is shaped around your needs, preferences, values, and circumstances.

Experienced Midwives

Pip and Sophie are experienced NHS midwives with over 20 years’ combined experience across all areas of maternity care. They’re skilled in recognising and managing complex maternal and newborn conditions, so you and your baby are always in safe hands.

Empowering Informed Choice

We are passionate about empowering women to make informed decisions about their care.
You are at the centre of every decision. This means providing clear, balanced, and up-to-date evidence so that you feel confident in the choices you make for yourself and your baby.

Unhurried, Relationship-Based Care

Your maternity care should never feel rushed or like a tick-box exercise. We offer unhurried appointments and continuity of care, creating space for conversation, questions, reflection, and emotional support.

Cherishing Every Pregnancy

Every pregnancy deserves to be cherished and held with care.
Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, your experience matters. We believe in creating a calm, supportive environment where your pregnancy is respected as a significant and meaningful life event.

Holistic Care for Mother and Baby

Our approach is holistic, recognising that pregnancy and birth are not only physical experiences but emotional, mental, and deeply personal journeys.

We care for the whole woman – her wellbeing, her family, her circumstances, and her baby — providing compassionate support that nurtures both health and confidence throughout the journey into parenthood.

Continuity and Trust

Continuity of care is at the heart of our practice. Being supported by a midwife who knows you, understands your story, and walks alongside you throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postnatal days creates trust, safety, and reassurance during one of life’s most important transitions.

You will not be just another appointment on a list. You will be known, heard, and supported every step of the way.

If you want to know more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
