ADMINISTRATOR

I joined Midwives of Lindsay in January of 2008 after being a stay at home Mom for 13 years.

I have a degree in Sociology and Psychology and a Volunteer Management certificate. For several years I put this educational knowledge to use in Volunteer Management positions with the Ross Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.

From springtime through fall, I enjoy the solitude of tending my flower and vegetable gardens, and while winter is my least favourite season, I do enjoy daily walks through the snow covered woods and farm fields with my husband and golden retriever.

As the proud Mom of grown daughters Lyndsay and Latashya and son Landyn, I know how exciting and rewarding it is to bring a new life into the world. I look forward to welcoming you to our clinic and playing a small role in your journey to parenthood.

MIDWIFE

My name is Lindsay. I am a midwife of mixed settler descent, and an uninvited guest on these territories.

My midwifery practice thrives at a special intersection of community care, intimate relationship and honest self-knowing. I believe raising babies is the most hopeful way that we participate in the future, and it is my greatest purpose to welcome parents and babies into a space of safety and tenderness in this deeply transformative time.

My way to midwifery has been winding and I have worked with families in northern BC, Vancouver Island, Thunder Bay, and the Durham Region, before landing here with Midwives of Lindsay and the Lakes. I have a great respect for the skills of midwifery and maintain certifications in Emergency Skills and Neonatal Resuscitation as well as CPR.

MIDWIFE

I am a graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's (previously Ryerson University) Midwifery Education Program (2019), where I earned my Bachelor of Health Sciences in Midwifery. Additionally, I hold a Master's degree in Health Promotion from the University of Toronto. Before entering the field of midwifery, I spent 18 years working as a public health nurse. Throughout my career, I gained extensive experience in early parenting, childhood development, and mental health.

Since 2009, I have been an internationally licensed lactation consultant. In my free time, I enjoy raising chickens and share my life with my partner and three children, all of whom were born with the assistance of midwives.

MIDWIFE

I have been privileged to work as a midwife in urban centers and remote Indigenous villages in northern Ontario and Nunavik.

Witnessing the transformative journey from individual to parent during pregnancy and birth is truly fascinating to me. I am passionate about ensuring that the process is holistic and empowering. My expertise lies in perinatal mental health, postpartum mood disorders, birth trauma, and bereavement. I maintain up-to-date certifications in neonatal resuscitation, CPR, and Emergency Skills through regular attendance at workshops, hospital rounds, and peer reviews.

Prior to midwifery, I dedicated over twenty years to community health, specifically advocating for LGBTQ+, newcomers, Indigenous, homeless, and substance using individuals to ensure equitable access to healthcare. I hold a Master's degree in health education with a focus on spiritual health and support.
