Welcome
My name is Irene Vine de Hoyos and I am an independent midwife covering Suffolk, Essex, East London and Cambridge.
I offer support during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. I can help you navigate childbirth as a rite of passage with knowledge, power, kindness and plenty of time regardless of what choices you make.
My passion is to help women step into their power and health professionals not take it away from them, whatever this means for you. And I can do this in English, Spanish, French or even in a bit of Russian.
SERVICES
From whole packages of care, to community gatherings to single appointments. All you need is here and if not, you can always ask me for a quote. Enjoy the little extras in your packages such as Thai Yoga massage, baby massage, pool hire and a luxury goody bag with all you need to start your responsive parenting journey.
HOMEBIRTH
From 8 weeks pregnant until 6 weeks postnatal. I have several packages that vary in length to suit different budgets and needs. Birth at home or hospital.
CONSULTANCY
Do you have a question for an independent midwife? We can do your birth plan, review your previous birth, discuss your options for this one or just have a second opinion. Face to face or online.
PARENTING
Find out about baby wearing, cloth nappies, elimination communication, co-sleeping and how I am giving you the gear you need to start learning about them.
FREEBIRTH
I can support you in your freebirth journey, it is your right to decide how, where and with whom you birth your baby. It is legal to freebirth and to decline antenatal care.
