Cheryl Samuels

Hello my name is Cheryl and I live in Chelmsford, Essex offering private independent midwifery services across Essex, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. I am a very experienced midwife with over 20 years of health care experience. I have a special interest in home-birth, water-birth, biomechanics for birth and complimentary therapies including massage and aromatherapy.
I provide holistic, family-centred and individualised antenatal, birth and postnatal midwifery services to support your needs. My packages of midwifery care are bespoke to you and offer unhurried, comprehensive care in the comfort of your own home.

Incredible caring, nurturing and knowledgeable midwife who truly supports you and your whole family throughout your journey. I cannot thank Cheryl enough for our world class care and honestly feel my experience and outcomes would have been very very different without it. The best decision I could have made for my pregnancy birth and postnatal experiences and health. – Sam & Jason

I believe a positive pregnancy, birth and parenting experience is not so much about the method or place of birth itself, but more about feeling listened to, included in decision making, being valued as a person and feeling well supported. Building a trusting relationship with your midwife creates both physical and psychological safety and improves clinical outcomes for both you and your baby. Most importantly a pregnancy, birth and parenting journey that aligns with your values, is what will serve and support you best and that is different for everyone.

Cheryl‘s empathy shines through in everything she does. She takes the time to listen, reassure, and provide guidance in a way that makes you feel completely supported and understood. No question is too small, no concern is ever dismissed-she genuinely cares and makes you feel like you and your baby are her absolute priority. Her expertise is outstanding, and her ability to explain things clearly while respecting our choices is something I deeply appreciated. She is a wealth of knowledge, always providing evidence-based advice while ensuring that you feel confident and empowered in your decisions. – Portia and Neil
