Our Services

Discover more about the services that Sage Femme provide

Sage Femme are based in London and offer Private Midwifery services throughout the city.

By practising outside of the NHS we can guarantee one-to-one care which will ensure that you feel nurtured and special during your pregnancy and never just part of a large machine.
SUMMER 2022 UPDATE: Please note that due to changes in Insurance policy for Independent Midwives, we are now able to offer labour and delivery support at home and in hospitals across the London area. There is unfortunately an insurance premium associated with these services, please see the Pricelist for details.

Insurance is fixed at the same price regardless of whether you have a home or hospital birth and regardless of whether we provide clinical care or non-clinical advocacy in hospital. The insurance fee is given to the insurance company at the booking appointment when it is received from you and is non-refundable even if your birth plan changes. These conditions are not set by us and are non-negotiable.

A Unique Journey

All the research shows that one-to-one care will increase your chance of a normal birth, that your birth may be shorter and you will need less pain relief, you will have reduced chances of postnatal depression and are more likely to successfully breast-feed.

Your unique journey with Sage Femme includes Antenatal, Labour and Postnatal care that can be tailored for your individual needs during a consultation.

We will listen to your hopes and expectations for your pregnancy and address any particular concerns you may have.

Our clinical practice is governed by the NMC (Nursing Midwifery Council).

Antenatal Online Appointment

The reassurance of speaking to an experienced midwife from the comfort of your living room. We can discuss your concerns, and give you information to help formulate your birth plan. Although we can’t examine you clinically we can explain information given by your care providers and help you negotiate the often fragmented maternity care. Please use our contact page to book an appointment.
