Your Midwife
I’m Tracy Hillam, a private midwife with 21 years of experience supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. My approach is warm, caring, and completely tailored to you—I believe every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout her journey.
I provide a holistic and adaptable service, ensuring that your care aligns with your unique needs and birth preferences. Whether you’re planning a homebirth, seeking additional support alongside NHS care, or wanting care with no clinic time constraints, I am here to help.
Pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period are transformative moments in a woman’s life—physically, emotionally, and mentally. This journey is one of the most profound experiences you will ever go through, and having the right support can make all the difference.
Covering Yorkshire, and parts of Lancashire and Derbyshire, I offer a reassuring, expert presence so you can navigate pregnancy and birth with confidence
Experience That Puts You at the Centre
With 21 years of experience in maternity care, I have worked across homebirth teams, standalone birth centres, community midwifery, and hospital maternity care. My background also includes extensive knowledge in antenatal and newborn screening, ensuring that you receive informed, evidence-based care every step of the way.
I also understand that navigating the NHS system can feel overwhelming. With my experience, I can bridge the gap—helping you understand your options, advocate for your choices, and negotiate services to ensure your birth preferences are respected, whether you’re choosing a homebirth, birth centre, or hospital setting.
With me, as your Midwife, you receive:
A deep, trusting relationship
You build confidence knowing your midwife truly understands and cares about your wishes and concerns.
Personalised care
Every woman and every pregnancy is unique. Your care is tailored to you, not just a set of guidelines.
Reduced stress and anxiety
Familiarity brings reassurance, this will help you feel safe and supported throughout your journey.
Improved birth outcome
Research shows that women who experience continuity of carer are more likely to have a positive birth experience, lower intervention rates, and better outcomes for both mother and baby.
Stronger postnatal support
Your midwife doesn’t just leave after birth; you continue to receive guidance and care as you transition into motherhood. My postnatal care visits are frequent and last for up to 6 weeks after your birth.
Physiological Birth Expertise
Learn how to optimise your hormones, positioning, and mindset to promote a positive, empowered birth experience. My approach is centred on supporting your body’s natural ability to birth, helping you work with, rather than against, the process.
Nutrition support
Helping you nourish yourself and your baby with confidence

The Importance of Feeling Well: Nutrition for You and Your Baby
Pregnancy is a time to nourish yourself and your baby, laying the foundation for lifelong health. What you eat during pregnancy doesn’t just support your well-being—it has a lasting impact on your baby’s development and future health.
Nutrition is hugely overlooked in mainstream maternity care, but I am passionate about helping women feel their best through simple, nourishing choices that truly make a difference. If you’d like guidance and support with this, I am very happy to help.
Optimising nutrition for pregnancy – Eating clean, healthy foods supports your energy levels, hormone balance, and overall well-being.
Supporting your baby’s growth – The right nutrients help build a strong, healthy baby, supporting brain development, immunity, and overall growth.
Long-term health benefits – Research shows that what you eat in pregnancy can influence both your own long-term health and your baby’s, reducing risks of future health conditions.
