Meg’s Story
“I always looked forward to
seeing her at each appointment
and enjoyed discussing
the progress of the baby
(I even miss seeing her today!).”
Annette’s Story
“I was very nervous to leave my
baby and the comfort of my birthing
space but my midwife, as always
with her calm demeanor explained to
me what was going to happen.”
Alena’s Story
“During my labour, I watched my
midwife carefully for any signs
of concern, and saw only
encouragement and confidence
reflected back.”
We recognize that we practice on the traditional land of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, known today as the Esquimalt, Songhees, and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations, whose relationships with these lands continue through the present day. We acknowledge that the traditional birthing practices of these Nations were destroyed by colonization. We commit to being mindful of our roles in ongoing colonialism in birth work and perinatal care, to decolonizing our own practice, and to providing safe and culturally-sensitive care to our Indigenous clients and their families. In solidarity with the ongoing work of decolonization of midwifery practice in BC and throughout Canada, we offer our support to our indigenous colleagues working as midwives throughout BC, and welcome any feedback on our own practices as midwives of settler backgrounds.

Our clinic is accessible, child-friendly, and community-focused. We are located in central Victoria, just past the intersection of Cook & Yates. We have on-site parking and are well served by public transit. Our building offers a Lifelabs and a Rexall pharmacy and is fully wheelchair & stroller accessible. We look forward to hearing from you, and supporting you through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum.
