Having a baby?  Consider midwifery care!

Our Vision Statement: 

"Midwives building health and connection through equitable reproductive care; growing community where everyone can flourish."
 
Choosing midwifery care means you are choosing a distinct style of maternity care, focused on childbirth as a normal healthy process, continuity of care and informed choice.  Midwifery in Ontario is a regulated health profession, and has been since the Regulated Health Professions Act of 1991.
 
Midwives work as independent primary care providers and our services are funded by the Ontario Ministry of Heath - there is no cost to you!
 
We are a group of midwives who provide continuous, personalized and evidence-based care during pregnancy and early postpartum to individuals planning a home or a hospital birth.
 
It is best to fill out an intake form as soon as you find out you are pregnant.  Not only is demand for our services high, but it is also beneficial to access prenatal care at the beginning of your pregnancy.  There are occasionally openings for clients later in pregnancy.  You do not need a referral from a physician to see a midwife.
 
Click on the intake form link at the top of the page if you are pregnant and considering midwifery care.  Once your form is submitted, we will contact you within 3 weeks to guide you through the process.  In the meantime, if you need to contact us about your intake form, please email us at [email protected], or call us at 613-544-7127.
 
PLEASE NOTE:  We love to keep you up to date with your upcoming appointments and important information from your midwives through email.  To avoid our emails to end up in your spam/junk folder, please add our email addresses to your contact list/address book:
