Lotus team Philosophy
We want to offer a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
Birth is one of the most important and life changing experiences a person and their family will experience. We believe that birth is a natural and physiological process, and we will work with you to birth your baby in a calm, safe and supportive environment.
The Lotus Team aims to provide personalised, holistic care to people with low risk pregnancies, whether at home or in the Lotus Midwifery Unit. We strive to provide choice, creating an individualised birth plan with you to ensure you feel safe, supported and fully informed. Our wish for Lotus is that families feel welcomed, safe and listened to.
We aim to make every birth the best it can be for the people of Leeds.
