Pregnancy labour and birthing is a supernatural process. Every woman is capable of birthing a baby her way in a hands off approach. A mom is an advocate for her own labour and birthing. Allowing moms to take charge of this period in their lives, is empowering. Teaching open mindedness regarding the process and the possible turn of events involved in preparation for the arrival of a new member of the family helps families to lose control and focus on enjoying the process and the event itself. I love my job.

Approach & Midwifery Style
Welcome and thank you for choosing Protea Nursing Services for your care! We are a private nursing and midwifery practice. We aim to provide excellent nursing and midwifery services to our clients, to meet their individual needs.
I always knew that I wanted to be a midwife. Before I even started my journey to become a nurse the whole process of childbearing held a special place in my heart. When I finally trained as a midwife it just affirmed what I had always known, my place was at the family’s side when you bring new life into this world. It is a very sacred time in a person’s life, whether you are starting a new family or becoming parents again for the fifth time. It remains a blessing and should be treated with attention to detail, individualized care and sensitivity. I trained at the University of Johannesburg and received a Bachelors Degree in Nursing with qualifications in the fields of midwifery, community nursing and psychiatric nursing. I then did my community service as a midwife at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital after finishing my training. It was through my own experience during my first pregnancy that I fell in love with Genesis Clinic and eventually to work there as a staff midwife. I have been fortunate to have had both my children at Genesis. It was through my experiences as a mother and a midwife that I wanted to go into private practice, to give others the same positive experiences that I had during my journeys into motherhood. I believe that you are the captain of the boat and should be well informed throughout your pregnancy, to make educated choices for you, your family and your baby. As a team we will work together to strive towards a positive experience throughout the pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond.

Approach & Midwifery Style
Hi, my name is Nadia Clay, a Professional Midwife and student Lactation Consultant. I graduated at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg and received my Bachelors Degree in Nursing, with qualifications in Midwifery, Psychiatry and Community nursing. My passion for assisting mothers throughout their labouring journey grew during my Community Service year, it is during this year that I instinctively knew that my heart belonged to mothers and their newborn baby.
Working in a labour ward has equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills to assist mothers during this journey providing them with a positive birthing experience. I currently work at a fertility center where my compassion and love continue by assisting women and men to achieve their dreams of parenthood.
I dream of running my own private practice where I can build a strong and trusting foundation with my parents to be, providing them with intuitive care from conception, natural labour and breastfeeding. I believe that pregnancy and birth are a blessing from God and a time to be happy, grateful and encouraged for the journey that lies ahead.
As a student Lactation Consultant, I would love to assist mothers with any difficulties arising during their breastfeeding journey. This part of motherhood is such a precious time of connecting and bonding with your little one that I encourage no time to be wasted. Let me assist you with any overwhelming and scary situations to complete your journey on an enriching and positive breast, providing guidance, advice and reassurance that you are not alone and that you provide the best diet for your newborn.
