I am ecstatic to be working among the fantastic midwives at Strathcona Midwifery Collective. You’ll find me working on the Plum team. I can’t wait to continue providing care to families of all shapes in Vancouver. I am a settler of Scottish and English ancestry.

I feel extremely grateful for the open hearts of every family in our care, and am forever thankful for those who have invited me to be a part of their pregnancy and birth stories.

I deliver midwifery care in English and some Spanish, and my pronouns are she/her.

I grew up in rural Nova Scotia, in the unceded lands of the Mi’kmaq people. I remember being obsessed with pregnant people when I was a child, often making my dolls pregnant and staring at bellies. I was first properly introduced to midwifery while in a development course during my first degree, a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from Dalhousie University, in 2012. This sparked my ever-evolving and growing passion for feminism, reproductive rights, and birth. In 2016, I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Sciences in Midwifery from McMaster University with Honours. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work in Toronto for the first several years of my practice and then made the move to BC in 2021.

I have a special interest in working with families who are new to Canada, and queer families.

When I’m not ‘midwifing’, you can often find me dancing around my house, reading, getting tattoos, doing yoga, or nearby the ocean. I have been dancing for over 16 years, and in 2012 founded a dance/art collective with a close friend and collaborator in Nova Scotia. Being a dance artist has helped me connect deeply with movement and the human body, and I bring that knowledge back with me in to the world of birth.
