Some of our midwives doing their recertification in neonatal resuscitation.

Did you know our college requires us to do annual and biannual recertifications in Neonatal Resuscitation, Emergency Skills and CPR?

While we always hope to not have to use these skills, we keep them sharp by attending regular workshops. We also find it helpful to go through various scenarios with colleagues we work with every day.

Testimony Tuesday!

I truly can’t say enough good things about my experience with my midwifery team.

As a first time mom, I went into pregnancy feeling excited but nervous about all the unknowns. From my very first appointment, I felt completely safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. They always made me and my family feel so important and listened to.

Because of their care and encouragement, I felt confident going into my home birth and it ended up being the most empowering, beautiful experience I could have imagined.

Our sweet boy, Hayes, was born quickly at home at 11:44pm on January 4, 2026, weighing 7.8 lbs. Welcoming him in our own space, surrounded by calm and trust, was truly the birth I had hoped and dreamed of.

The care I received throughout my pregnancy was incredible, and I’m already a little sad this chapter is coming to an end (until the next baby!).

A special thank you to Ally for being there for me from my very first appointment all the way through Hayes’ birth. That steady support meant everything.

Forever grateful for this amazing team.

Testimony Tuesday!

Thank you Nisha for sharing your story and photos with us.

"I had the privilege of welcoming my son on September 8th at Brantford General Hospital, and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the midwifery team—especially Michael and Melanie.

Their presence throughout my labor and delivery brought me strength, comfort, and reassurance during a time that can feel overwhelming. Michael and Melanie cared for me with such patience, compassion, and professionalism that I truly felt supported every step of the way.

They listened, guided, and comforted me in moments when I needed it the most, and their calm confidence helped me stay grounded throughout my entire birth experience. I am profoundly grateful for the kindness and exceptional care they provided to both me and my baby.

Thank you, Michelle and Melanie, for being a part of such an important chapter in my life. Your dedication and heartfelt support will always be remembered."
