Registered Midwife

Pronouns: she/her
Hi, my name is Mackenzie or Mack! My pronouns are she/her.
I am a white settler midwife. My ancestors are from Hungary, Ukraine, and Western Europe. I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto – Dish With One Spoon wampum territory. I first came to xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ lands before becoming a midwife, when I worked in public health and Indigenous cultural safety.
My love for community care, reproductive justice, and heart work eventually drew me to midwifery.
After finishing my studies at Toronto Metropolitan University, I started working on the Quartz team at Pomegranate Community Midwives.
Now I am excited and honoured to be joining Huckleberry Midwives and Strathcona Midwifery.
When I am off call you can find me in so-called Burnaby with my partner and two kitties. I love to read, knit, play piano, play games, and get to out to a good show when I can!
“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.”
