Holistic Maternity Support
Meet Andreia
Hi, I’m Andreia
My journey began in general nursing, before transitioning to Midwifery, where I found my passion. With over a decade of clinical experience, I have expanded my skills and my knowledge.
I live in Banbury (North Oxfordshire) with my husband, two daughters, and our dog Duke. I enjoy time outdoors especially in the sunshine, love the beach and exercise is my 'me time'.
I love a good midwifery book and actively engage with insightful podcasts and community groups. My dedication to staying informed allows me to offer the highest level of support to those in my care.
Andreia Cruz BSc (Hons) RGN; RM
Midwife with post-qualification in Maternity Complementary Therapies
I have obtained a Diploma in Midwifery Complementary Therapies through Dr. Denise Tiran's renowned Expectancy programme - the leading provider of professional complementary therapy training for midwives in the UK. I have also completed various courses, such as, Childbirth physiology with Dr. Rachel Reed; Biomechanics for Birth with Molly O'Brien; Spinning babies workshops and a Waterbirth Certification with Barbara Harper.
I am a registered in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), insured with the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and checked by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). I comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements and I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
