About

Through my own birth experiences and the experiences of those around me, I quickly found my calling as a birth advocate. I have knowledge and experience in a variety of birth scenarios ; VBAC, HBAC, Twins, Cesarean, vaginal breech and water birth. As an advocate of women centered, choice based care, I have been involved in implementing prenatal programs at womens' detention centres, as well as the midwifery advocacy group Where's My Midwife. I endeavour to keep current on research, policies and trends surrounding maternity care. I am also a Registered Massage Therapist.

I am certified in neonatal resuscitation, CPR for health care providers, and hold a BA Ling/Psych. Certified as a doula and childbirth educator many years ago, my children would say that makes me 'ancient ' . I have been a Second Birth Attendant for both the Midwives of Headwaters Hills and Grand Valley Midwives.In order to live a higher quality life, maintaining optimal wellness is key.
