Specialist Nurse in Maternal and Obstetric Health and Founder of MaterClinic®

Cláudia Agostinho is a mother of four and also has a stepdaughter. Motherhood deepened her commitment to caring for others and brought greater clarity to the professional path she wanted to follow.

She believes that reliable information, careful listening and individualised support allow each family to find the answers that work for them, with greater confidence and autonomy.
