We're excited to re-introude our newest Registered Midwife, Marissa. Some of you may remember her form one of her placements as a student with us.
"I am ecstatic to join the team at Midwives of Brant! It is an absolute privilege that I will have the opportunity to be a part of your care. The pregnancy, labour and birth processes have fascinated me for as long as I can remember, and I have been committed to achieving a career that involved serving others throughout these impactful times since my childhood.
Midwifery and its holistic approach aligns perfectly with my values and passions of informed choice, creating a safe and inclusive environment for all people in their reproductive journey, and promoting diversity and equity. It is very important to me that I provide education to my clients to empower their decisions. I aspire to create an environment in which all people feel safe advocating for their wishes, needs and concerns, and can make decisions that are best for themselves and their reproductive health.
Prior to my midwifery education, I was chasing my track and field aspirations at both the University of Oklahoma and the University of Central Florida where I earned a major in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Health Sciences. While applying to the Midwifery Education Program, I earned a certificate in Doula Studies at Fanshawe College, followed by the completion of McMaster’s Midwifery program.
Outside of midwifery, I love running in our beautiful Ontario trails, gardening, hiking in BC, drinking Tim Horton’s coffee and spending time with loved ones. I look forward to meeting you!"
Welcome Marissa!
