Amy Duke

Meet Amy  

Hello, my name is Amy - The Birth Preparation Midwife

I am a midwife specialist in complementary therapies during pregnancy and postnatally, as well as a Swedish massage therapist and a level 2 Reiki practitioner.

I love being a midwife! I have over 10 years' experience working in different areas of NHS midwifery care; I often specialise in labour and birth.

Women amaze me with their strength and power! I feel so privileged to be a part of women's journeys into parenthood.

As well as being a Midwife, I am also a mummy to my two beautiful babies - I have the best jobs in the world! Having gone through my own pregnancies and having supported so many women to give birth and during their pregnancies - I understand that mum's to be, have many different experiences of pregnancy.

There is no one size fits all approach, my aim is to help you find the best way forward for you and to support you and your family at this precious time - leading up to your baby's birth and after your baby is born.

I have always been interested in complementary therapies and I have experienced some of these incredible treatments during my own pregnancies. I've seen firsthand the benefits they have made to me and many women. That's why I am SO excited to share them with you. The treatments I offer can work alongside your normal NHS care. Our time working together will offer you a more relaxed space to discuss your care and choices.

I have completed a Diploma in Midwifery Complementary Therapies with Expectancy, who are the leading provider in complementary therapy training for Midwives.

Midwife, listening to babies heartbeat

I provide specialist complementary therapies for pregnant women and postnatally (for up to 12 weeks) including:

  • Birth preparation - from 38weeks to help encourage spontaneous labour (aiming to avoid induction for being‘ overdue’)

  • Pregnancy & Postnatal specialist Massage

  • Moxibustion for Breech (to encourage bottom down babies to turn to head down position)

  • Clinical reflexology to help ease common pregnancy and postnatal symptoms

  • Reiki therapy – during pregnancy & postnatally

I offer a premium mobile service, where I travel to you to provide treatments and services, within the comfort of your own home. I am based in Hitchin; Hertfordshire, SG4. I am willing to travel further – just ask (any distance over a 10-mile radius from Hitchin, will be chargeable per mile travelled, see T&Cs.)

I offer you a safe space and time to talk with an experienced midwife.

I provide individualised, one to one, treatments, advice, and extra midwifery support, from a midwife who you can get to know and who can get to know you. These are unique, evidence-based, holistic treatments especially designed for you during your pregnancy, birth and postnatally. Make some time for you – you deserve it!
