WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Best decision as a first time mom. My midwife, Sr Sally, took me through the entire process calmly and delivered my baby with ease. My partner was involved and also had a good experience as a first time dad. The entire staff was friendly and always ready to assist. A thank you to Sr Lilo for her assistance as well. She made me comfortable while waiting for my midwife to arrive.

I gave birth here in July. Fair prices compared to private and I was privileged with what I believe is one of the best midwives Sthe. It was my first and from the beginning to the birth Sthe was hands on ready to answer any questions. She made the process so beautiful, you can tell she’s experienced as she knew exactly what to administer to help me along. Thanks to the birthing clinic and the midwives who assisted I had a truly beautiful blessed experience. Also the food was yum

Patient

I gave birth at Oxford a few weeks ago and definitely recommended it. Caring and friendly staff. A clean, comfortable and homey environment, delicious food and an all round amazing experience for my first birth.

Lara Deary

Patient

Gave birth to my second son here. As intense as the experience inevitably is, it was a joyous and empowering one this time around (as opposed to during my firstborn’s hospital birth). I was encouraged, supported and asked for consent at every turn. The facilities are comfortable and private, and it feels more like a hotel-stay than a hospital stay. Having a water birth is an option to definitely choose here. Backup gynae for emergencies are prepared. Your partner is included, encouraged and welcomed. Cannot praise this place and my midwife Lilo ❤️ highly enough. What a pleasure.

Mandisa Macleod

Patient

Unbelievable and beautiful birthing experience. So good I booked another night without hesitation or problem. As a first time mom I would highly recommend this birthing center. Never had to think or consider anything that would take my attention away from the task at hand: labour. Thank you to all the sisters and lactation specialists and great paediatricians and even the waiters that took my breakfast/lunch/dinner orders. May this unit go from strength to strength and thank you for my memory.
