Maternity Care By Midwife Liselotte

Your own personal midwife by your side from start to finish,
how can this work for you?

Option 1:

Work with me through my own company "Little Miracles":

If you are looking for home-based, maternity care & support, this is for you! My services range from as little as a single appointment to an extensive customized package.

My unique maternity care packages are designed to deliver true continuity of care in the comfort of your own home. You will be looked after by your own personal midwife. A midwife who you can trust and rely on. A midwife who delivers unhurried antenatal & postnatal home visits. A midwife who is there for you on the other end of a phone call.

Note: the antenatal & postnatal care that I provide with "Little Miracles" is in addition to, or in combination with your HSE care, it does not replace it.

Option 2

Work with me through "Private Midwives":

If you are looking for independent midwifery care, outside the HSE, including home birth, you can work with me through "Private Midwives" (PM).

All Midwives working for PM are fully covered by professional & medical indemnity insurance, enabling them to legally provide home-based clinical midwifery care.

€10 travel-fee / visit for clients living outside-area

Why pay a non-refundable deposit at time of booking?

Most babies don't come on a scheduled date and time, this means that I will need to keep myself available for your care 24/7 for those choosing the "full Moon" package, and for those choosing the "Baby Moon" package I need to be present on short time notice.

This fee also secures my availability to you as outlined in the package. In order to prevent being needed in several families at the same time, I limit my client intake to a maximum of 2 clients / package / month.

Extra outside-package services can be provided depending my availability, or if needed, I can refer to other trusted midwives / doulas / maternity nurses.

What about the travel fee?

a €10 travel fee / visit is to be added for clients living in areas with a travel time over 30min. from Delgany, Co. Wicklow.
