Midwifery
I knew from a very early point in my life that I wanted to become a midwife. Upon graduation from high school, I started on the path to making that wish a reality. I was born and raised in the Edmonton area, and moved to Sudbury, Ontario in 2009 to pursue my education.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science in Midwifery from Laurentian University with every intention on returning to Edmonton to practice. Throughout my training, I did placements with midwives, nurses, and obstetricians in several cities in Ontario, as well as in Edmonton and Calgary. I solidified my knowledge of pregnancy, the birth process and newborn care when I became a mother myself in early 2013 to my first daughter. I also had my second baby, a boy in March 2018, another baby boy in April 2020, and my final baby, a girl in 2022. Marie was my midwife for all of my pregnancies.
I am a strong believer in continuity of care and informed choice. I am very much looking forward to being able to provide the women in my hometown with the high quality of maternity care that they deserve.
In my spare time, I stick close to home with my family, tea, a good book, and crocheting.

Lactation
In 2024, I completed my IBCLC certification, and am now an international board certified lactation consultant. I felt like there was a gap in my knowledge in breastfeeding, and had difficult breastfeeding journeys with my four children, and wanted to be better equipped to serve my midwifery clients in this field.
I am also offering community lactation consult services when I can fit it into my schedule. You can contact me below to inquire about lactation support services.
