Welcome to Birth & Beyond, a practice of experienced, Registered Midwives offering personalized, compassionate care to pregnant people and newborns. As university-based midwives we have a strong commitment to evidence-based care, as well as exploring with you the connections between science and beauty in birth. We offer the space for you to explore and support your informed decisions.

A small, caring practice.

We are a small practice of Registered Midwives with many years of experience caring for families from many ages, situations, and communities. We all hold faculty appointments through the UBC Faculty of Medicine and divide our time between midwifery, teaching, research and work within the CMBC and MABC. Through our work in Canada, United States, Central America, India, Africa, and the Middle East, we have learned much about how culture and environment interact with birth and families. We offer our services in fluent English, Spanish, and Hebrew, and partial French, Swedish, and Arabic.

A known, accessible care provider

We enjoy meeting with growing families and developing strong trusting relationships. Our prenatal visits and postpartum checkups offer ample time to discuss your physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. We are on call all days of the week, at all times, to ensure you have a known caregiver supporting you. 

Supporting Physiologic Birth

We believe that you can give birth safely, with dignity and confidence, when you share the responsibility for your health and birth choices with your caregivers. We are skilled in supporting physiologic birth by providing emotional and clinical support through your pregnancy, labour, and birth. You can choose to deliver at home or in hospital with the guidance and constant support of one of our midwives.
