Search for Independent, Private Midwives, Doulas & Birth Workers Near You
Our ZEST Directory makes is easy to find a Midwife or MaMa (doula, birth worker or professional) in your local area.
No two births are the same, just like no two people are the same. We all have different needs, wants and ideas when it comes to pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Browse our midwives profiles and contact them directly to find the best fit for you. And don’t worry, no question is too silly and our ZEST Registered midwives and MaMas (doula) will be happy to discuss your plans with you. It’s an important choice for you and you, your family and your beautiful baby growing inside you.
Please Note: Not all of our midwives and MaMas choose to be featured on our directory by choice so if you do not find a birth worker in your area, that does not mean they are not there. Please reach out to us on info@zest-midwives.co.uk as there may be other midwives, MaMas or birthworkers registered with ZEST that do not appear on the directory.

Connecting With Independent Midwives and MaMas (doulas, birth professionals)
The ZEST Midwives directory exists to support choice, connection and continuity of care. It brings together a collective of experienced independent midwives, MaMas (doulas) and birth workers, each offering their own unique services and approach to care.
When you find a midwife or practitioner through the ZEST Midwives website and choose to work with them, any agreement or contract you enter into is directly with that individual independent midwife or birth worker. ZEST Midwives itself does not provide maternity care services and is not part of any contractual arrangement between families and practitioners listed in the directory.
Once a care relationship has been established, all questions, discussions and decisions, including those relating to care, fees, availability or any concerns should be shared directly with your chosen practitioner. This allows for open communication and a trusting, personal relationship to develop, which sits at the heart of independent midwifery care.
ZEST Midwives is here to facilitate connection and visibility, supporting families to make informed, empowered choices about their care. Each practitioner listed within the directory remains fully responsible for the services they provide, allowing you to build a care experience that feels aligned, supportive and truly centred around you.
It is a privilege to be able to choose your own midwife, doula or birthworker, and we congratulate you on selecting the support that feels right for your journey. This choice is wholly yours. We encourage you to ask as many questions as needed to ensure the best possible fit and to make an informed, educated decision. ZEST bears no responsibility for individual choices made. Your contract, care, and professional relationship are solely with the midwife or birthworker you choose. Any concerns or issues should be raised directly with them. You are not a client of ZEST, but of your chosen birthworker who is facilitated in their practice by ZEST.
