Hong Kong Midwifes

Annerley (formerly Annerley Community Midwifery Services and Annerley Midwives) is a small, privately run clinic that has been operating since 1995, when a British midwife, Ann Illingworth, set it up after resigning as a sister in charge of the Matilda International Hospital Maternity Unit. Since then, the clinic has grown and now has 9 members of staff - midwives, obstetrician (OBGYN), nurses and extremely valuable admin staff

Jamu Postnatal Massage and Abdominal Binding This ancient 17th century Indonesian technique aims to restore wellbeing and strength to new mothers. It uses natural herbs and massage to energise muscles and help you feel relaxed. Following Jamu massage, we use abdominal binding to help restore your body to its pre-pregnancy shape. A long cotton cloth is wrapped around the pelvis and stomach area to help reduce water retention.

The Hong Kong Midwifery Association is the first professional midwife organization in Hong Kong. It is a non-profit organization. It was founded in 1967. It was formerly the Hong Kong Federation of Nursing and Obstetricians and was renamed the Hong Kong Midwifery Association in 1969. It currently has more than 1,000 members. Over the years, the Association has been dedicated to training professionals in midwifery. It regularly organizes various academic lectures and seminars, and communicates with local and international academic organizations to enhance the professional level of midwifery in Hong Kong.

For over ten years, wellness & birth has provided a midwife service that is tailored to your individual needs. We begin working in partnership with you and your obstetrician in the hospital - before the birth - and continue to work with you and your paediatrician, helping you through the first stages of your newborn’s life.
