My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Mariah Howgill—an experienced, registered midwife offering private, personalised care for women and families across South East Kent.
As an independent midwife, I provide continuity of care—meaning you’ll see the same friendly face throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey. I come to you, offering bespoke home appointments, ongoing WhatsApp and email support, and the time and space to make fully informed choices, without pressure or rush.
My approach is gentle, evidence-based, and completely tailored to you. Whether you're hoping for a home birth, planning something different after a previous experience, or simply want more support alongside your NHS care, I’ll be by your side—listening, supporting, and guiding you every step of the way.
I cover Folkestone, Canterbury, Tenterden, and surrounding areas, and offer:
Antenatal care in your home
Birth support, including home birth packages
Postnatal visits and ongoing emotional support
Specialist guidance if you’ve had a previous loss, birth trauma, or a complex medical history
If you're looking for reliable, personal, and empowering midwifery care, I’d love to chat.
My Experience
Nannying: I provided childcare for multiple families prior to starting my midwifery degree. These roles involved caring for children of all ages, organising activities, and creating a safe, engaging environment for their development.
Crèche Work (5 years): I worked in a professional crèche setting, gaining experience in early childhood education, safeguarding, and providing care for groups of children.
Midwife: As a qualified midwife, I’ve supported countless families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, with a special focus on newborn care and family well-being.
