​​       Profile  &           Philosophy
 

Registered Midwife and Mother of 3 Children

​

In 1988, as a mother expecting her third child, I recognized the value of having a known midwife and chose to employ the services of an independent midwife and had a home birth.  The experience reinforced my intention to do midwifery training and to work toward working in a midwifery model of care.

​

I am a specialist in normal birth who views pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting as a major life transition best facilitated by holistic sociological care that places the woman at the centre.   Placing the woman at the centre necessarily recognizes her significant others, her community and cultural context.  The birth of a child is a social event; the midwife’s role is to support the transition to parenthood physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially.  

Being a midwife is a privilege. It is a privilege to partner with a woman and her family through pregnancy and labour and to witness the sacred moment of birth; to facilitate understanding as a couple identifies the changes in their relationship as they become parents; to recognize that pregnancy does not happen in a vacuum and that sometimes there are challenges.

​

Along with this privilege is the responsibility to ensure competency and currency of midwifery knowledge and practice.  This is best facilitated by reflective practice, peer review, client feedback and continuous professional development.
