Saluting all that have used midwifery services and wishing you well!
2018 celebrates two decades of regulated midwifery in British Columbia. I have been delighted to meet young people that I welcomed as babies and to hear their parents’ fond memories of their early parenting days. Witnessing individuals grow into parenthood is a joy and a perk of my work! Previous clients’ reminiscences touched my heart, as did Facebook messages celebrating BC Midwives. I feel fortunate to be walking alongside women and families during a transformative time in their lives and to be sharing this sentiment with colleagues. We love what we do.
This year, I also had fun joining in the Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM) 2nd Dance for women, babies and midwives with my office assistant Jazzmin Nagy and Quayside Village (QSV) community that has housed midwifery services for over 15 years and shares a 20 year 2018 celebration with BC Midwives. Quayside Co-housing was built in 1998. I reckon since my practice has rented the office, at least 600 women and families have sat in QSV foyer waiting to see a midwife.
I look forward to meeting and developing partnerships with many more!
Enjoy the videos linked below. Thank you to all that participated in this happy celebration. I appreciate Madiba Nelson Mandela’s words “IT IS through music and dancing that I feel at peace with the world AND at peace with myself”. Excited to experience more music and dance…

Living is about spiraling back to beginnings and endings. Leaves falling and buds growing.
