I feel incredibly privileged for my work as a midwife. I cannot think of any other profession that would be as satisfying to my curiosity, as demanding of my creativity, and as fulfilling to my spirit. I feel lucky to support families through the journey of pregnancy and birth, whatever path they take.
I came to midwifery from a background working as a researcher and coordinator with a number of maternity-related organizations in BC. These experiences opened my eyes to the importance of pregnancy and birth as a transformative time for families and to midwifery as a caring model to support this transition. I am also deeply influenced by my mother, who attended births as a family doctor in Vancouver for almost thirty years, and who was a strong supporter of midwifery.
I’ve been working in East Vancouver since 2011 and am excited to join the Dandelion team in November 2025.
“We want to thank-you so much for all your wisdom & encouragement through this beautiful journey we’ve been through...that’s just the beginning! We wanted to let you know, you two as a team very much compliment each other as you both have strengths in different areas and this was so helpful for us
Midwifery care in general is something we are so grateful for. It provided us with the kind of experience we hoped for, filled with compassion, knowledge and warmth.
This has been such an incredible experience for us and we now have this beautiful child, with him came a love so profound we couldn’t have imagined it.
So thanks again for all you do.”
