Community

I am committed to the future of midwifery and as such occasionally I have a midwifery student in my practice. I offer my client’s the choice of how involved the student is in their care. 

I work closely with a community of perinatal professionals who I refer clients to as needed or desired. This can include:

  • Obstetricians

  • Family practice doctors

  • Pediatricians

  • Perinatologists

  • Naturopaths

  • Acupuncturists

  • Chiropractors

  • Physical therapists

  • Massage therapists

  • Nutritionists

  • Mental health providers

I am so grateful to have respectful and collaborative relationships with the local hospitals and doctors I transfer to.
