Hello! I am a founding member of the Strathcona Midwifery Collective. This exciting collaboration brings together my love of midwifery and my dedication to community care and reproductive justice. I aim to provide inclusive, supportive and informative care to all of our clients and their families. My team has a focus on caring for trans and queer families, Sanctuary clients (uninsured people with precarious immigration status) and returning clients from past pregnancies. I am also happy to care for anyone who feels that my team would be a good fit!

I  grew up in Montreal on the traditional territory of the Kanien'keha:ka, as a European settler of Jewish heritage, I am fluent in French and speak some Spanish. After moving to Vancouver in 2000, I presented workshops on reproductive health and fertility awareness. Shortly after, I trained and began working as a doula, infant feeding counselor and youth counselor in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. It was after my oldest kid was born at home in 2003, with the assistance of midwives, that I felt ready to pursue formal midwifery training.

While completing my Bachelor of Midwifery at UBC, I had the opportunity to work with a diverse clientele in both rural and urban areas across BC. Over the years, I have focused on caring for people who may face barriers in accessing healthcare as a result of their immigration status, income, sexual orientation or gender identity.

In addition to my clinical work as a midwife, I co-facilitate and organize the Trans and Queer Pregnancy and Parenting Group at our clinic and online. This is a monthly group that provides support, resources and community dialogue for trans and queer folks on the parenting journey.

I also work as an inter-disciplinary educator with a focus on gender affirming care in midwifery, obstetrics and nursing, my intention is to support health care workers to provide safer and more accessible care to everyone accessing pregnancy, birth and postpartum services.

I am continually inspired by my community and the families I serve. I keep growing through this work and gain so much from the people who pass through my care.

When not at work I'm usually hanging out with my family, cycling, weight lifting, knitting, or canning. I try to get out of the city and into the mountains or to the Gulf Islands hanging out with my goat friends as much as possible.
