About The Family Wellness Clinic
I am a registered nurse and midwife who loves babies. I developed my passion for babies and pregnancy after the birth of my first child.
Years of experience in a baby clinic and having my own children who have had their own share of problems has given me that special edge with my patients. I am also a South African Certified Perinatal Educator. Contact me on 0848671223 or complete the contact form to get in touch.

I’ve been working towards ensuring healthy families since 2006. My mission is that I’m passionately invested in the long term health of your babies and families.
Service Overview

What We Offer
Family Wellness Clinic Services
Pre-Conception Advice & Guidance
Make an appointment to discuss your current family planning and wish to fall pregnant.
I can guide and give advice and we go from there.
Online Birth Prep Course
Online Birth Prep is an online antenatal course offering lifelong access of evidence based information that can be done in your own time and at your own pace. There are downloadable quizzes, pdf’s, checklists, etc.
Each module is divided into video lessons that can be done as you require and rewatched if needed.
I can also claim direct from some medical aids or give you an invoice to claim back from medical aids once payment has been made.
Breast and Formula Feeding Consultations
Breast and formula feeding consultations to ensure that we get the best for your baby as well as your family.
Introduction to solids/weaning consultations are also done when the time comes.
All Baby and Family Vaccinations
I offer all the vaccinations on the government schedule as well as all the optional extras that are available. I can claim direct through medical aid for the vaccinations. Vaccinations for the family can also be done with me, e.g. flu vaccines.
I only work by appointment and with prior ordering of the vaccines. Half hour appointments are made routinely and a full developmental check up is done each time, as well as discussing any concerns the parents may have.

- Collagen Bars that can be eaten at any stage for supporting a healthy lifestyle and pregnancy.

More About Sharon
Sharon Oates
B.Cur & SACPE
I am one of those very few people in the world who is blessed to have known from about 7 years of age, that I wanted to be a nurse and help people. I applied at one university for a nursing degree and did not have a second option should that not work out. I have a calling to help others and this is what I enjoy the most in my life.
I am a registered nurse and midwife who developed a love for babies and helping new parents navigate the turbulent waters of new parenthood. My skill with babies and needles developed after the birth of my first child when I left the hospital and working shifts to start working less hours to be with my family more.
In my different positions that I held, I discovered my passion for babies and realised that parents need a safe place to vaccinate their babies and ask all the questions they may have as well as to see how their baby is developing. That is when I opened my practice.
I really am passionately invested in the long term health of the families that I serve.
