“Booking myself onto a course with The Village Midwife was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The course was so comprehensive and so well delivered. I will forever be grateful to Jenni, who delivered the course, for her words of encouragement in a difficult moment in my pregnancy.”

Bicester (Oxfordshire) Antenatal and Postnatal Classes with Jenni

Hi, my name is Jenni and I am a midwife based in Oxfordshire.

I have worked in the NHS in a variety of settings, starting off my career as a continuity homebirth and high-risk labour midwife in London and now working in the community around Oxford. I truly love my job and feel so privileged to be part of such an exciting time for the women and birthing people in my care.

Outside of work, my husband and I have two young daughters who like to keep us on our toes and I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

I am extremely passionate about the importance of antenatal and postnatal education as I have witnessed the positive impact it can have on birth experiences and the first months of parenthood. I am so excited to work with The Village Midwife to help soon-to-be parents feel more informed and empowered about their pregnancies and what to expect for the future, and cannot wait to meet you all!
