Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood, Rainham — I cover all five of the Medway towns, and I know from the mums I visit here how stretched local postnatal services can feel. Once your midwife discharge comes and you are left holding a tiny baby and a list of questions, that is precisely the gap my care is built to fill.
Everything I do is available as a home visit across Medway: full postnatal packages that run alongside or instead of your NHS care, single reassurance visits, feeding support, day-five checks, and c-section scar therapy for births at Medway Maritime. I bring everything with me — scales, kit, and no rush whatsoever. Visits are up to two hours because you cannot pour out a birth story, feed a baby and have your questions answered in fifteen minutes.
If you are in Medway and wondering whether anyone does this kind of old-fashioned, unhurried midwife care privately — yes, someone does, and I would love to hear from you.

from a mum I've looked after
Kind words
“I had a wonderful experience with Lois when she came to my home to check and treat my c-section scar. She was extremely professional and warm. Having at-home care made such a huge difference during my recovery with a newborn. I couldn’t be happier with the treatment and highly recommend her services to any new mum.”
