Hello, my name is Daphné Dupuis, and I am a senior midwifery student at McMaster University. I am thrilled to be joining Community Midwives of Kingston and immersing myself in the Kingston community for my final clinical placement. I am from Sault Ste. Marie in Northern Ontario and I have a deep appreciation for the outdoors. I especially enjoy activities such as snowboarding, hockey, and swimming. In my free time, I also love dancing, reading, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Midwifery is my passion, and I am committed to providing compassionate care to expectant clients and their families. I look forward to learning from the experienced midwives at Community Midwives of Kingston and gaining invaluable hands-on experience as I continue my journey towards becoming a Registered Midwife.

Hi! I’m Rachael (she/her), a 2nd-year student of the Midwifery Education Program at McMaster University. I’m honoured to join Community Midwives of Kingston and to get to know the Kingston community through its pregnant and postpartum families.

I am originally from Kelowna, BC, though my journey into midwifery began in Victoria where I trained as a doula in 2019. It was in this training that I developed a deep fascination and respect for the pregnant body and all of its many changes during the perinatal period. I also got to witness the ability that midwifery care had to empower and heal pregnant people and their families through person-centered, holistic approaches, and knew I wanted to learn everything I could about the profession.

At the heart of my learning is a passion for socially just, equitable, and judgement-free healthcare, and I look forward to working with families of all kinds during such a significant time in their lives. I hold the opportunity to be a part of your care team with great privilege, and am thrilled to work alongside the Kingston midwives in helping you get the most out of your midwifery care experience.

Outside of midwifery, you’ll find me hunched over my sewing machine working on my latest project, or experimenting in the kitchen!
