About me

My name is Sarah O’Reilly. I am a registered midwife, trained hypnobirthing instructor, and perinatal emotional health & wellbeing practitioner based in Didsbury, Manchester.

I have worked in both public and private sectors, providing antenatal and postnatal care across a range of settings. Advocating for women has always been at the heart of my practice, and I strive to support and champion you throughout your pregnancy journey with empathy, consistency, and expertise.

Over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for supporting women affected by birth trauma, anxiety, and perinatal mental health conditions such as OCD and depression. These experiences are often overlooked in a busy, overstretched maternity system — leaving many women feeling unseen, unheard, and under-supported at a time they need care the most.

I’ve had the privilege of working with many families and have witnessed the profound impact that individualised, emotionally-aware care can have on both parent and baby. This recognition sparked a desire to work autonomously — giving me the freedom to offer truly holistic, trauma-informed support tailored to each woman’s story.

I relish the opportunity to walk alongside you by:

• Supporting you through the antenatal period with clarity and compassion, especially if you feel anxious or overwhelmed by conflicting information.

• Creating personalised postnatal care plans, with extended and frequent home visits that prioritise emotional as well as physical recovery.

• Offering a safe, non-judgemental space to explore fears, past experiences, or worries about birth and motherhood.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, recovering from a previous birth, or simply want consistent, relationship-based care — I aim to be a calm, supportive presence throughout your journey.

I look forward to working with you and walking alongside you through this life-changing time.
