Hi! I’m Clara!
“The class was very informative and Clara was very thorough and ensured we were happy with the information and how things were going all the way through.
As well as the course, the support and links from Clara were so helpful and can always be referred to!”
Bicester (Oxfordshire) Antenatal and Postnatal Classes with Clara
Hi! My name is Clara and I'm a midwife based in North Oxfordshire as well as being the mother of two! I began my midwifery journey shortly after my first was born, after a rollercoaster of a first pregnancy and postnatal period full of hurdles, inspired to make a difference to every mother and mother-to-be in my care.
Each person, pregnancy and baby is different that's why I am incredibly passionate about empowering mothers, families and birthing people of any background to embark on the journey of having a baby by providing a strong foundation to enable true informed decision making from the first to the fourth trimester.
