Our beliefs and values surrounding the childbearing year and beyond…

We believe that birthwork and reproduction are both personal and political. We believe that everyone deserves to have equal access to healthcare that is inclusive and safe, both emotionally and physically. We believe in midwifery care for the childbearing year, and believe that everyone should have access to midwives.

We believe that pregnancy is not an illness or a condition, but that birth is a normal, natural and transformational experience, that sometimes requires medical intervention. This is why we love the midwifery model of care, because it supports physiology-forward birth with rapid access to medical support if needed. We believe families have the right to choose where and with whom they birth, and so, we are dedicated to educating folks on home birth as a normal, safe option. We believe that people intuitively know how to labour and birth, and feel that everyone supporting them needs to trust, support and respect this inner wisdom. The same goes for new families — we believe in parents’ instinctual abilities to nurture their babies and we strive to find a balance between providing information and education and fostering parents’ own self-trust.

We have a passion for breaking down the fears and misconceptions surrounding pregnancy, birth, postpartum and infant feeding that are so deeply rooted in our culture. We are always striving to stay up-to-date with the most evidence-based knowledge to help clients find the information they need to be empowered in the decision-making process that comes with having a baby. We believe that families deserve care that is always honouring and centring them.
