Really informative class, even after having done 6 online classes through the Rotunda. Aoife was friendly, very practical and plainspoken. She was able to speak to the different procedures at Holles St/ the Coombe/ Rotunda too which was helpful. Would highly recommend to new parents.

We booked Aoife’s class so that we could learn at a time that suited us and in our own home. It was so relaxed I felt like we could ask anything and by the end of the day I felt
Set up for what’s to come. Would recommend this to any new parents.

Aoife facilitated an incredible antenatal/postnatal nourishment retreat (in collab with Dee Creasey at Cnoc na mBan). She’s a gorgeous mix of empathy and expertise. The retreat I attended felt like such a safe space, and fostered a sense of community and being together in a part of something. This experience helped me feel more connected to people, resources and my own pregnancy. Thank you, Aoife

I cannot recommend Aoife Clifford enough. I attended both her antenatal class and baby massage course. Aoife is a fountain of knowledge and incredibly empathetic and reassuring. Absolutely recommended.

Aoife baby massage classes are absolutely amazing! It is an unique way to bond with your baby while meeting other mamas and getting that much needed postpartum support. Can’t recommend it enough!

Couldn’t recommend Aoife’s antenatal classes more. My husband and I recently attended one as we have our first baby on the way! Our shoulders dropped a mile after this class. We felt a lot more educated and reassured. Such a lovely group!

My husband and I recently had a private antenatal class with Aoife in our own home, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was warm and welcoming, creating a safe and comfortable space for us to ask questions and share any concerns. Aoife is extremely knowledgeable and has an excellent ability to communicate information clearly and reassuringly, without causing any fear. I would 100% recommend Aoife to anyone considering her support.

We attended Aoife’s one day antenatal workshop and found the course really helpful. Aoife has a wealth of knowledge and is so warm and friendly. She wants to help in any way possible, she was able to answer many various questions with evidence based research. Her course day was well paced, interactive and very informative. Following the class she sent us an email with lots of amazing resources to use over the coming months. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about the birth process and postpartum. Thank you so much Aoife for everything 🙏

Aoife is an invaluable antenatal educator. I attended her antenatal workshop in Bray and left feeling so informed and confident about the birth process and Postpartum, as well as my choices around this. My partner also attended and Aoife was so inclusive and made the partners feel really valued and important. She was happy to answer any questions thoroughly and with evidence to support any statements. She was also incredibly supportive and responsive via email and social media. Thank you so much for doing what you do Aofie 🙏

We attended Aoife’s antenatal class ahead of our second baby and we found it an invaluable resource. A lovely balance of chats and groupthink with evidence based advice and info on the Irish maternity system. She answered all of our questions and covered all aspects of labour, birth and postpartum. We highly recommend!

I attended an antenatal class hosted by Aoife, as well as her baby massage class when my daughter was six weeks old. Both were fantastic! Aoife has a great manner, she’s extremely knowledgeable and her passion for helping parents is palpable. I’d highly recommend both!

Absolutely wonderful experience with Aoife’s baby massage class! I can’t recommend enough.
My little boy was so relaxed both during and after the sessions. We’ve started using the massages to calm him before bed or when we’re out and about and he gets a bit fussy. Aoife is just so lovely – she creates such a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and the class is totally baby-led, which I loved and really suited us. Plus, meeting the other mams was such a great bonus. Highly recommend! 5 stars all the way!

Such an informative class in a very informal and warm atmosphere. I did it before doing the classes with Maternity Hospital and I was so happy I did, without Aoife’s class I would’ve been totally lost and overwhelmed by the information given at the Maternity Hospital. Aoife went more slowly and thorough through the important aspects and I absolutely loved all the props she had and demonstrations she did, they were super useful.

Highly recommend Aoife’s antenatal class – small group setting which allows for interaction and a safe space for questions, factual, non biased and super informative. Left feeling a lot more confident in our journey ahead.

My husband and I had a private class with Aoife in our own home and so far it’s the best thing we’ve done to prepare for our little bub. Not only does Aoife have a lovely warm energy but she’s knowledgeable, empowering and so so supportive. We couldn’t recommend her more. x

Aoife provided a 1-1 class in the comfort of our own home ahead of our first baby’s arrival. Aoife’s knowledge, practical advice and openness has helped put our minds at ease and given us so much more confidence heading into the final few weeks before our baby’s arrival. Aoifes approach and friendly nature made us both feel at ease. I would highly recommend her services to any expectant parents!

Me and my partner attended antenatal classes with Aoife while we were expecting our first baby last year and I highly recommend this course. We really enjoyed it and it helped us prepare for what was to come. Small group size, open, non-judgmental environment and lots of support and information from Aoife during and after the session.

The class with Aoife was absolutely brilliant. We were left feeling so knowledgeable and felt supported through-out. The information was easy to digest, Aoife had a wealth of expertise that she shared with us.
It was also really helpful to just unload thoughts, experiences, and feelings. Aoife was empathic and understanding.
We are feeling informed, empowered, and excited! The tailored links and information are also very helpful and has put me at ease.
