Home visits that cover you and your baby
A home visit from an EverNurture midwife brings professional, evidence-based support, education and reassurance to you, for new mums, newborn babies and the whole family.
Areas of support
What a home visit can include
Each midwife tailors her visits to your family. The examples under each area come from the midwives' own practices, so it is worth asking what a particular midwife's visits include.

Parenting support and practical strategies
Practical strategies for the day-to-day of caring for a newborn, and support as you adjust to parenthood.

Infant massage
Suzie offers infant massage as private or group sessions, covering massage strokes, reading your baby's body language and cues, and using oils safely.
