I recently came across Beyond Midwives as I was seeking out somewhere to have a pregnancy massage – what a fantastic discovery!! I have since had two absolutely wonderful, relaxing and restorative massages and have been blown away by the beautiful service and atmosphere that Maria and Nadia have crafted here, it really is a sanctuary. I liked it so much that we have decided to book their Antenatal Education course and my husband and I are really looking forward to it. It’s so lovely to know that this place is here, as a first-time mum, it’s a source of knowledge, experience, and reassurance that I am so happy to have found.Rosamund Picton

Nadia and Maria are so lovely and knowledgeable. The place is really calming and nice too. We did the ‘new baby’ and ‘give birth without fear’ workshops and both were invaluable, especially good to help birth partner feel more involved and confident. Definitely recommend!Jasmine L

Me and my partner attended the breastfeeding workshop prior to having our little boy and it was amazing. The whole set up at beyond midwives is excellent and all the staff are welcoming and informative. We also attended to get Nico’s tongue tie corrected 3 days after he was born and couldn’t thank the ladies more!Nicola Baker
-
Maria and Nadia are knowledgeable and so welcoming and caring. Everything is so tastefully decorated and inviting. I had a postnatal massage with Maria, which was relaxing and calming. I have also attended a baby massage course, which I would highly recommend. Thank you Maria and Nadia xSarah Mahmood

Amazing service from Beyond Midwives when having my daughters tongue tie done. As a very nervous mother I would highly recommend using Alison and Carol for this.Rebecca
-
Beyond Midwives is such a welcoming inclusive space. I had pregnancy massages with Nadia which were amazing! Also attended the new baby workshop which was a great afternoon class about the first 28 days with a newborn. You leave the class feeling much more prepared and with a book that we referred back to many times during the early weeks. I’ve also used the one to one breastfeeding services with Carol (the IBCLC) to navigate through some difficulties. She was compassionate and knowledgeable. All services were excellent!Katie-Rose

I had a pregnancy massage here and it was even better than I had anticipated. I’d been researching where to go in Liverpool and so glad that I went with Beyond Midwives. I received an amazing fully body massage from Maria as well as time to ask lots of questions about therapies in pregnancy too. You’re in safe hands and Maria has the holistic knowledge from a therapeutic and medical background. Thanks-would certainly recommend!Victoria Brennan

I had originally booked to attend the prenatal yoga workshop with Jeni, but unfortunately this had to be cancelled last minute through no fault or controllable circumstance of Jeni or Beyond Midwives. Nadia emailed, called and messaged to let me know of this meaning I didn’t drive unnecessarily to the class and did everything in their power to support me attending the rearranged date. Unfortunately my wee boy ended up unwell on the rearranged day, and when I informed Nadia I received such a beautiful, understanding and caring response, which included being offered another service to replace this class (due to the next yoga being after my due date). I attended beyond midwives for a prenatal massage at 38 weeks pregnant and it was amazing!! The space feels exceptionally supportive, safe, and calming. The massage and service was next to none. To say I will be gifting this to friends or attending other services with Beyond midwives is a definite.Laura Griffiths

Maria and Nadia have created a wonderful environment for learning everything you need to know to prepare for a newborn. The classes were incredibly informative and covered every topic you could need to cover. As former midwives themselves they know everything and are excellent at communicating that knowledge. As birth partner the information on what I could and should do during labour helped immensely with keeping my wife in a good space and allowed me to assist in important decisions when plans needed to change. As a father the courses on looking after a newborn were very handy and a special mention for the breastfeeding consultants as well as when there were some initial difficulties I felt I could assist in helpful ways. It has made the journey so much easier. Aromatherapy and massage also helped calm and relax and is a recommendation. The environment in the establishment is calming and relaxing. There are plenty of extra reading materials if you want to browse and you can also drop in and ask questions or get assistance. I cannot recommend Beyond Midwives enough.Ben Stoker

Had an amazing pregnancy massage here. Was super relaxing and really helped with my aches and pains in my third trimester! Such lovely ladies that run it too, happy to give advice or any further help on my pregnancy- highly recommend!Steph Pringle
-
We were recommended Beyond Midwives to have our son’s tongue tie corrected and we also used the lactation consultant service – both of which I cannot speak highly enough of. The tongue tie treatment was incredibly quick and professional, we felt in very safe hands and found the whole team to be unbelievably friendly and supportive. I am so grateful for the help we received from the lactation consultant in supporting our breastfeeding journey, it truly was invaluable. I am so glad we discovered this amazing practice and I can’t wait to explore the other services they have on offer.Amy

Before attending antenatal classes with Maria & Nadia I had no idea about the different choices I had about birth, where to find the right information and no confidence in questioning medical opinions or asking for more information. After attending 2 classes my partner and I feel so much more informed, confident and in control of our own birth story. It’s such a welcoming, friendly place and I can’t thank Maria and Nadia enough for all the knowledge and kind words they’ve shared. We’re looking forward to attending many more classes, workshops, and trying out the massage too!Kirsty Flemington
-
I’ve used beyond midwives a couple of times and cannot recommend them highly enough. I had a pregnancy massage in my third trimester which was incredibly relaxing. This included a consultation with the lovely Nadia, who really took the time to answer any questions I had. Nadia provided so much helpful advice and really went above and beyond. We’ve also more recently used their tonge tie service for our little one which was also excellent – quick, efficient and again, extremely supportive. Overall I’d highly recommend beyond midwives, its a really special place.Anna Powell
-
The most wonderful pregnancy massage! After moving house at 7.5 months pregnant my body was aching and I felt very tired with swollen feet, I booked the pregnancy massage at Beyond Midwives on a recommendation and I wasn’t disappointed. Maria was very warm and welcoming and clearly knows what she is doing. It’s lovely to be in the hands of a professional, I could relax knowing I was being looked after. Such a friendly and caring nature, I couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience. I left feeling truly relaxed and a whole lot better!Jennifer Williams
-
Beyond Midwives is honestly the loveliest place, ran by the loveliest women – I cannot recommend it enough. If you’re looking for somewhere to help prepare you for the arrival of your little one, or for help and support once they’re here then Beyond Midwives is the perfect place. I’ve attended the Breastfeeding workshop and the Birth Partner class and they were both brilliant. Thank you Nadia and Maria for being the best and creating a wonderful place for mums and mums to be xSybilla

I had a pregnancy massage at 33 weeks with Maria. I felt thoroughly spoilt and completely relaxed! The facilities are beautiful and I would definitely go back.Amy Mahdi
-
My Beyond Midwives experience has been fantastic! Maria and Nadia were so accommodating in helping my wife book a surprise prenatal massage for me, squeezing me in outside of their usual operating hours so I could de-stress after a hectic few weeks. When I arrived, Maria was very personable and we had an informal consultation before the treatment where I felt reassured that the right oils and techniques would be used, and given her extensive experience as a midwife I felt I was in good hands. The massage itself was very professional, relaxing and clearly tailored to someone who is pregnant using pillows and side / inclined positions to make sure I was comfortable at all times. The facilities were spotless and I didn’t feel rushed at any point during my time there. I definitely plan on using their services again. Thank you! xxInk and Vow
-
I had a wonderful prenatal massage at Beyond Midwives. Maria spent time getting to know me and my needs before our massage, which was so lovely and felt very personal. I felt cared for and looked after which feels so needed at 35 weeks pregnant! I would highly recommend Beyond Midwives and hope to return for other therapies in the future. Thank you Maria.Tess Bloomfield

I cannot praise Maria and Nadia enough. I attended a mental health well-being workshop which was lovely as they gave simple tips and tricks to ground ourselves and empower ourselves to help us feel better. They even gave us resources for home and spoiled us with a lot of amazing food. However, I then attended a reflex zone therapy session (a bit like reflexology but specifically for maternity) and it was sublime. I’ve never had my feet bathed with flowers with beautiful essential oils and the therapy itself took me to another world. It was simply magical. The amazing thing was that before the session I was so anxious as I had received unpleasant news and I was probably over thinking it, but afterwards I felt so calm with a completely different mindset. I was thinking positively and just felt calmer and more hopeful :). I will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone who wants to improve their well-being. Thank you Maria and Nadia! You are an inspiration.Giliane Fenech

I cannot recommend Beyond Midwives enough! Aside from the fact that Nadia and Maria are the most beautiful people, they are so knowledgeable and they have provided me with so much reassurance during my pregnancy. I attended their Mother’s Day event and subsequently did 2 of their workshops which were both brilliant. They really do go above and beyond in every way! In particular I really valued the breastfeeding workshop by Carol and Alison. I’m currently pregnant with my second baby and was unsuccessful in BF my first despite taking multiple BF classes during my first pregnancy. However, this was totally different, the level of expertise was amazing and I learnt so many things I had no idea about which would have undoubtedly made all the difference during my first experience. The workshop was fun and really interactive and I highly recommend investing in the course.Carys Anderson
-
Nadia, Maria and their team are absolutely fantastic. We have attended a few classes now, and they have filled us with so much confidence going into this next chapter of our lives. They’re always so available if you have any questions or need advice and go above and beyond for everyone who walks through their doors. They have created a beautiful, calm and inviting space for all. Thank you!Hannah Stoker

My wife and I attended the ‘Give Birth Without Fear’ and ‘Positive Labour and Birth’ workshops and cannot speak highly enough of Beyond Midwives. From the moment you walk in to the lovely calm space that has been created with so much care, you will feel welcome and at ease. The information that is delivered in the workshops is so valuable but it is the way that it is delivered that is truly exceptional. Both Nadia and Maria are able to pass on their insight and advice in a way that makes it incredibly easy to receive and understand and they are able to facilitate interesting and informative discussions between a group. We can honestly say that taking part in the sessions has completely changed the way we are thinking about the upcoming birth in a hugely positive manner and we will be recommending Beyond Midwives to friends and family. We can’t wait to attend our other sessions! This centre is a true gem for expectant parents in Liverpool.Jack C

Really helpful breastfeeding consultation – so good to be able to see an ILBCLC lactation consultant so quickly, got lots of great advice from Carol to help with feeding. All the staff were so lovely and helpful, premises are really great and everyone really knowledgeable. Will definitely be recommending to anyone I know having a baby or needing breastfeeding support!Rachael Baggot

Nadia and Maria were both welcoming and created a safe approachable environment for our workshop. It was very informative, helpful and quite fun. Really enjoyed our time there and would recommend for new mums to go xSana and Oliver

My husband and I have had the most wonderful experience at Beyond Midwives with both Nadia and Maria. They are both so knowledgeable and not only do they really know their stuff they also know how to pass on the information in a way that is easy to understand and not overwhelming. We attended a class and a workshop (labour and birth & newborn baby) The girls wee both so welcoming and friendly and the space is warm and inviting. We felt totally at ease and so comfortable when we got there. Their presentations were brilliantly done and they both packed in even more information for us and we both now feel so much more confident for the next steps. Will definitely be attending again and feel like I can reach out to them both if I have any worries or queries in the future. Thank you both for the gorgeous experience Meg & PeterMegan Richardson

Saved us! Without the team we would cracked, it was an amazing, calming place, where we felt supported and helped even if it was just to have someone to listen. Love themConnor Eadie

I have been to Mother’s Day event and I had the best first mother’s day. We had so much fun and I got lots of good information which I needed. Booked few workshops, classes and I can’t wait for them. Nadia, Maria and the team, they’re all amazing, friendly and so knowledgeable. The place it’s very beautiful, clean, peaceful and feels a really nice and good energy, atmosphere. Highly recommend this maternity clinic especially for first time mum and not only. Thank you so much Maria, Nadia and the team, you are the best, see you soon xxxSylvia - Mother's Day event

I had a back and shoulder massage earlier today and Nadia was brilliant. She put me at ease straight away and was so informative and helpful. I left feeling so much more relaxed and will definitely be back again.Danielle B

Amazing services all round! From educational classes, therapies, massages and many more. Me and my wife visited Beyond Midwifes during the 5th month of pregnancy. At this point, we were both unsure about so many things and had a million questions. Nadia welcomed us calmly into their facility and we felt a sense of calm upon entering their facility which led to much relief and clarity after our first session. The educational classes are well put together, covers a wide range of topics and answered pretty much all our concerns and more. I highly recommend beyond midwifes to anyone expecting or have a baby even if you think you know it all, YOU DON’T! Lol. One piece of advice can shape a healthier life. We certainly wouldn’t have felt as much ease without the sessions. There isn’t any other facility in the North West that I am aware of that offers such workshops. It was more than beneficial to us and worth every penny.Edres Musaid

Nadia and Maria at Beyond Midwives truly made me feel so unbelievably heard, held and nurtured as soon as I walked into their beautiful maternity clinic and spoke with them about my pregnancy, birth and post partum experience, all of which had pushed me to unanticipated limits. I could immediately feel their genuine compassion and trusted their insights and discretion when choosing a suitable complementary therapy for myself. I was nourished by the most fabulous full body massage with aromatherapy and left feeling refreshed, with a lighter heart and a clear mind. I hadn’t realised just how long it had been since I had taken the time to look after my own wellbeing to this degree until I felt the effects of this treatment, and I’m so grateful to Nadia and Maria for validating me and helping to soothe my postpartum period with such compassion and skill. The space offers an abundance of maternity services, workshops and packages, signposted beautifully around the clinic. all of which support and equip new and expectant mothers in ways which are overlooked and neglected by the NHS, but which should be absolutely be fundamental to the entire process of birth and motherhood. I have already recommended Beyond Midwives to several friends and I will absolutely be back for more! I’m so blessed to have met you both xSarah Welsh

Beautiful space and great location. Attended a great Yoga for Birth workshop. Can’t wait to book in for a massage, looks dreamy!Megan Roberts

I visited Beyond Midwives for a full body massage. I was greeted by both Maria and Nadia. I immediately felt at ease and we had a lovely chat before the massage. The massage itself was just what I needed at 32 weeks pregnant. The therapy room was very relaxing and I was comfortable. There was no rushing, it was calm and I got some me time. The space is lovely and I highly recommend my treatment by Maria. Thank youVicki B

I had an amazing experience, the team are so kind and helpful xMira Kaddour
-
Beyond Midwives have created a beautiful space, providing a holistic approach to pre and postnatal care. They offer a range of therapies, workshops and classes. I had an aromatherapy appointment with Maria. She is extremely knowledgeable in alternative therapies and provided me with detailed information about how to use essential oils during my pregnancy. There is also an option to have a short massage as part of the aromatherapy consultation, which was amazing. I would highly recommend Maria and Nadia’s services and will be returning for more therapies soon! xVicki Collins
-
This is a truly special and one-of-a-kind place and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Nadia and Maria are experienced midwives who care deeply about the pre and post-natal journey and expectant parents. If you want to find understanding, education, and deep empathy then this is the place to go.Sophie Lewis

Dear Carol, Thankyou so much for all the support you provided during the hardest and early weeks of my breastfeeding journey with baby Adam. Without it I would have struggled even more than I did and would never have made it to two months exclusive breastfeeding. Please never quit your job!Love Shilan
-
Dear Dr Flynn, Thankyou so much for seeing Adam and doing his tongue tie release. You were so friendly yet extremely professional and I will never forget how kind it was of you to pop into the breastfeeding room for advice. We are still on our feeding journey but seeing you gave me a lot of hope. Thankyou!Shilan Imor, Abdel and Adam El-Madani

Maria is such a beautiful person inside and out. I was 20 when I gave birth to my first daughter Amelia. I was scared, nervous and anxious about the whole process of labour. Maria reassured me through the whole process and made my labour the most amazing experience ever. When Amelia was born, she had to attend the special care unit for one week due to her breathing, Maria visited Amelia and myself throughout our stay at the hospital and was very supportive. Not just myself, but my mum and dad where also so very grateful for everything Maria did to help us, we are forever grateful. Thank you MariaMegan, Liverpool
-
I can’t thank Maria enough for the care she provided. Right from the moment we met her, we felt massively reassured for the rest of our pregnancy and postnatally. Maria gave us the confidence to stay with our birth plan as much as possible, and we feel that it was that confidence that helped us to avoid a forceps birth. Maria made the whole experience a positive one and it will be a very happy memory that will stay with us forever. Thank you so much Maria ❤️xxDanielle, Liverpool
-
I can’t recommend Nadia enough her caring and knowledgeable approach to postnatal recovery was a breath of fresh air for when I was struggling with breast feeding and adjusting to being a new mum. Nadia’s support helped me so much with a combination of acupuncture and aromatherapy paired with her nurturing and restorative presence l, it was just what I needed, thank you!Megan - St Helens
-
I would like to thank Carol for her assistance and support in my both my breast feeding journeys. I was in tears everyday and probably on the verge of depression before I came to see her. I will never forget the appointments I had with her as I can guarantee that if I didn’t get the support from her when I did I would have given up breast feeding or carried on and suffered from depression. The technique shown and advice given was priceless. I can’t thank her enough. The service and care she provides are invaluable. She has a vast wealth of knowledge on all things infant feeding and truly supports the mum on this arduous and emotional journey. Words will never be enough to convey my appreciation but many many thanks for your help and support with both my breast feeding journeys I was able to give both my babies the best start thanks to you.Pritti Patel

In my journey towards a home birth last year, I was fortunate to be introduced to Nadia, thanks to my sister’s recommendation. From our first meeting, Nadia’s warmth and professionalism instantly brought me comfort. Her knowledge and belief in the strength of women made me feel confident and secure. Nadia gave me acupuncture, helping me relax and be present during my pregnancy. She also introduced me to essential oils that I used during labour, along with meditation podcasts that I still listen to now. I would recommend her as an exceptional midwife who empowers and supports mothers. I am forever grateful to her!Thanks again, Ellie
