Welcome to my Practise website. My name is Eleanor May-Johnson and I am an independent midwife based in Southampton. I provide a personalised, independent midwifery service to women and their partners who are planning or considering a homebirth. I also provide care to women who are planning a hospital birth - although my role is that of advocate and supporter in these circumstances..
I believe that the birth of a baby is the single most precious moment in any parents' life and am passionate about providing individualized, personal care to women and their families. I strongly believe that most women can give birth to their babies with minimum intervention, provided they feel safe, secure and well supported. I feel that midwifery is a calling for me and feel very privileged to be able to spend this special and important time with the families I work with.
I hope that you enjoy looking around my site and seeing some of the babies I have been privileged to help bring into the world. Please do not hesitate to get in touch either by email or phone for an informal chat or advice.
Although Independent Midwives have chosen to work outside of the NHS there is currently a National Government Supported Campaign to make independent midwifery FREE to all women.
We just need to demonstrate a need in your area. So if you would like to be able to choose your midwife, get to know and trust her, have plenty of time during appointments and know she will be with you when you give birth in the place of your choice FREE please click here (opens in new window)
