THE SELF MADE MIDWIFE METHOD™

A 10-Week Mentorship Programme to build your Independent Midwifery Practice – properly

You already know the NHS won’t be your long-term professional home.
 Now you’re ready to build what comes next.

The Self Made Midwife Method™ is a 10-week mentorship programme for midwives who are ready to step into independent practice with clarity, confidence, and professional integrity.

Not as a reaction.

Not in a rush.

But deliberately – and well.

This programme is not for midwives who need persuading.

It’s for midwives who already know:

  • their next chapter in midwifery won’t be built inside the NHS
  • their experience deserves to be used differently
  • independent practice is a considered next step

The Self Made Midwife Method™ gives structure, perspective, and professional support to a decision you’ve already made.

“There is more than one way to be an exceptional midwife.”

You’re likely in the right place if:
 

  • You already know you won’t remain in the NHS long-term
  • You’re thinking ahead rather than reacting
  • You want to understand your options before you act
  • You value professional judgement, continuity, and autonomy
  • You want to do this carefully and properly

You don’t need persuading.
You need a clear, supported way forward.

This is :

  • A structured mentorship programme into independent midwifery
  • Grounded in real-world practice and lived experience
  • Designed to support a compliant, professional, and sustainable practice
  • Supported by clear systems, templates, and guidance

This is not :

  • Generic business coaching
  • Marketing theory in isolation
  • A “figure it out as you go” approach
  • A leap into independence without structure or support

“The structure and support from Linda helped me move from thinking about clients to actually securing them. Everything felt possible, not overwhelming.”

Kirsti Parslow-Williams

How the Method is organised. 

10 weeks · Small cohort · Live mentorship

The Method is organised around six core themes, explored and revisited throughout the programme.

You’re not expected to have everything figured out at once.
You’re not pushed to move faster than is right for you.

This allows the cohort to be held intentionally, with numbers kept manageable so each participant receives individual attention.

Hi, I’m Linda,

 

I didn’t create this mentorship from theory – it’s built from lived experience.

I’m an independent midwife with decades of NHS and private practice behind me, and I’ve built a sustainable, values-led business from the ground up.

I know what it’s like to love midwifery deeply and still feel professionally constrained.
I also know how to step out of that properly – with structure, compliance, and integrity.

The Self Made Midwife Method exists because too many capable midwives are trying to navigate this transition alone.

I don’t teach shortcuts or sell hype.

I offer calm, grounded guidance for midwives ready to build independent practice carefully and ethically.

Frequently Asked Questions?

How is the “The Self Made Midwife Method” different from other courses?

Unlike generic business courses, this programme is tailored specifically to midwives transitioning to independent practice. It combines mentorship, community support, and actionable steps to get you from burnout to a thriving practice.

How much time does the course take to complete?

Most midwives spend around 5–7 hours per week engaging with the content, applying it to their own context, and beginning to shape the foundations of their practice. isn’t a “watch once and done” kind of course.
It’s designed to support real decision-making and responsible setup — which means reflection, not rush.
You won’t be buried in busywork or long lectures.
Each module is structured to give you exactly what you need, with space to think, apply, and integrate as you go.

What if I don’t have the time right now?

This is built for working midwives.
Each Core Theme is paced with capacity in mind – not urgency.
This isn’t a race. It’s a build.

Will I have lifetime access to the programme materials?

Yes, you’ll have lifetime access to all course materials, templates, and resources. You can revisit the content whenever you need a refresher or want to implement new strategies.

I’m worried about the cost…

I get it. This isn’t a small decision.

But what I’ve seen over and over is this:

  • Trying to figure it all out alone takes longer, costs more, and creates more risk.
  • The Method saves you time, stress, and missteps and protects your energy long term.

How much can I earn as an independent midwife?

Earnings depend on your location, services offered, and pricing strategy.

Many independent midwives earn incomes comparable to or exceeding their NHS salary while working fewer hours and achieving better work-life balance.

Earning six figures is also highly achievable once your business is established

What about my NHS pension and saving for retirement.

Your NHS pension is deferred, meaning it will remain in the NHS scheme and grow with inflation until you claim it at the normal retirement age.

Many Independent practitioners often set up private pensions or SIPPs, balancing these savings with increased earning potential. This way many independent midwives achieve financial stability and secure retirement through proper financial planning.

Can I join if I’m still working in the NHS?

Absolutely. The programme is designed to help you transition gradually, allowing you to balance your NHS role while building your independent practice.

What will my colleagues or managers think about me leaving the NHS?

Leaving the NHS is a deeply personal decision. Many midwives in the programme report that their former colleagues understand and even admire their decision to prioritise their well-being and passion for woman-centred care.

How will I find clients as an independent midwife?

Finding clients might feel daunting, but the programme includes proven strategies for client acquisition. From leveraging social media to creating a referral network, you’ll learn how to connect with the families who need your services most.

What if I fail?

Fear of failure is normal, but the program is designed to minimise risk by providing a clear, step-by-step plan. You’ll also have ongoing support from the community and mentorship to address challenges as they arise.

I’m scared of getting it wrong legally or professionally…

Good. That means you’re taking this seriously. This isn’t about selling services. It’s about safe, ethical, lawful practice. Inside the programme, we walk through the legal, structural, and regulatory layers step by step — so nothing gets missed or muddled.

How can I manage my work-life balance while building a new practice?

Independent midwifery gives you the freedom to set boundaries and design your schedule. I’ll teach you how to manage your time effectively, ensuring you can focus on both your personal life and professional goals.

Do I need insurance to work as an independent midwife?

Yes, insurance is essential for independent practice.

In the programme, we guide you through selecting the right coverage and understanding your responsibilities so you can practice with confidence and peace of mind.

Do I need to register with the CQC (Care Quality Commission)?

In most circumstances, no — unless you are practising from a clinic or have other midwives working in your team. Inside the programme, you’ll get guidance on how to assess whether registration applies to your specific setup, and what to do if it does.

How do I price my services?

Pricing can feel tricky, but the programme walks you through how to set fees that reflect your expertise, cover your costs, and align with market demand. You’ll also learn how to communicate your value to clients.

What about legal and accounting regulations?

We’ll cover the basics of managing your finances as an independent practitioner, including setting up systems for bookkeeping, understanding self-assessment tax returns, and working with an accountant if needed.

You’ll need clear contracts for your services to protect both yourself and your clients. The program includes templates and guidance on creating legally sound agreements.
