Amanda Wardle
Hi, I’m Amanda Wardle – a private midwife specialist hypnobirthing / antenatal educator with over 35years of experience working in the NHS and privately. All this experience enables me to offer many different packages, from one-off appointments right through to a full antenatal and postnatal package.
I live in Ilkley, West Yorkshire with my husband, (who is extremely tolerant of the funny hours I work). I am mum to three grown-up sons and Nanna to George. Looking back at my three labours and births, I recognise that I was using many of the hypnobirthing techniques I now teach, although at the time I didn’t realise that’s what I was doing! When I’m not working, my husband and I love nothing more than to head off in our camper van with our two crazy Jack Russells!
Feeling confident
One of the best things about my work is that I feel like I’m going to see a friend every time I visit a client! It’s really important to me that you and your partner or support person, feel super confident and supported throughout your time working with me. I am absolutely confident that you will feel less fearful, relaxed and calm about your upcoming birth once we start working together.
Most of my clients come to me through direct referrals and I’ve built up many strong relationships over the years in and around my home community of Ilkley. I often work with families over a number of years, supporting them through the birth of more than one child. I regularly get invited to blessing ways, weddings, christenings and first birthday parties and I’ve been nominated for Midwife of the Year two years running in the MaMa Awards, so I’m in no doubt clients value my work!
for partners too!
Is your partner feeling anxious or worried that he won’t know what to do to support you in labour? I encourage partners to call or text me with any concerns as so often I can quickly give the reassurance needed to ensure he feels supported too. you are a team and I want you both to feel amazing during your pregnancy journey!
When thinking about pregnancy and how I help couples prepare for their birth, I can’t help but use weddings to compare and contrast. It’s not uncommon for a couple to spend a lot of money on their wedding, which of course only lasts one day. In my opinion, pregnancy and the birth of your baby is just as important – if not even more so – and will be one of the most unforgettable times of your life. Why wouldn’t you want to do everything you can to prepare for this special time in the best possible way?

Amanda was an amazing midwife, and without doubt contributed to my confidence in the pregnancy and birth experience. Her experience really shone through, and I was always confident that I was in safe hands. Amanda provided excellent support in both pregnancy and during the birth. In pregnancy, one of the things…
We were lucky enough to have Amanda support us during pregnancy, throughout the birth and after our little girl was born. From the moment we met I knew I could trust Amanda, and I felt she immediately understood what was important to us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and offered…
