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.

My name is Simran and I am a second year student of the Midwifery Education Program at Toronto Metropolitan University.

I was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia and completed my first degree in Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University in 2023. My degree at Simon Fraser University provided me a basis of healthcare and when I started the midwifery program, I learned more about my passion of parental and newborn wellbeing. I have wanted to be a midwife since I was a teenager and I am excited to be a part of the CMK community. Throughout my life, I have had the privilege of travelling the world which has helped shape my world view. I enjoy travelling and learning about history and different cultures. Some fun facts about me: I am a coffee enthusiast and spend a lot of my down time finding new cafés and reading. My favourite TV show is Friends and I play the violin. 

I am passionate about everything midwifery stands for and I am looking forward to being a part of this journey with you.

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!
