Sarah Seymour

I became a home birth midwife to provide quality maternity care based in the community. I became disillusioned with hospital care due to the conflicting needs of the hospital protocols and those of the birthing mother.

I believe it is important for every woman to birth with a trusted midwife who supports her during her pregnancy, birth and the early parenting period. Therefore, I arrange to have monthly meetings with my clients throughout the pregnancy, forging a close relationship. You, the client are always encouraged, listened to, cared for and respected. You choose the way you wish to birth, be it a water birth or in any position you feel most comfortable.  I offer a holistic model of care that supports the mother‘s and baby's physical, emotional and social well-being. As a midwife, I understand that this is one of the most important transitions in your life and that those first days with your newborn are truly precious and can never be replaced.  Staying at home in your own comfort is a wonderful start with your newborn.

Safety is paramount to me, so please be assured that I keep a close eye on your pregnancy and labor progress. I also keep up to date with training and professional development and I am constantly improving my knowledge by studying the latest research and attending courses.

I strive to ensure you feel informed, safe and confident throughout your pregnancy, birth and beyond.

I have been a midwife for over 20 years, and it is the passion of my life. I trained and worked in the UK and then requalified in Israel after making Aliya in 2000. I spent ten years working in Jerusalem hospitals, delivering thousands of babies, honing my midwifery skills and woman-focused attitude to maternity care. I am a mother to six children ranging in age from 7-22, and live in Kochav Hashachar, in Binyamin, which is within easy reach of Greater Jerusalem and the Shomron and Sharon regions.

I have bachelors’ degrees in nursing from Manchester University and in Midwifery from Middlesex University, London. I am also a trained medic (choveshet) with Magen David Adom and attend emergencies of all types in my Yishuv.

I would be very happy to be your midwife for your special journey to birth be”H.
