1-In the summer I love to be outdoors, camping, hiking, and at the beach, but in the colder months I’m much more of a homebody and can spend all day with a good book!

2-I would love to go to Italy one day.

3-It’s such a difficult choice, but I think I’d have to go with pasta…literally any and all kinds. Or sushi, I don’t think I could ever get sick of that.

4-This changes pretty much monthly for me, and I never seem to be able to pick just one favourite, but really anything by Noah Kahan is my favourite!

5- Flying! Although I love to travel, so I make it work.

1-When I have time off, I like to spend it doing quiet activities, like puzzles and pain-by-numbers, with a couple friends and my cat as company (I LOVE cats! My family and I have fostered 87 kittens and counting...my goal is 101!)
2-My dream vacation is thankfully one that I have done multiple times- visiting my very rustic family cottage in Nova Scotia! I love watching the sunset over the ocean (I’d probably love watching the sunrise too, but I am NOT a morning person!)
3-I don’t think I could just eat one food or meal for the rest of my life! I tend to thrive on variety- which is also why I love midwifery- will I be welcoming a baby today, or will I do my laundry?- who knows!
4-My favourite song of all time if probably the classical song Pachelbel’s Canon. I fell asleep listening to this as a child, and it still brings a sense of peace and calm in my day.
5- I don’t think I can answer this question!

After the hospital reconfiguration in January, the Family Birthing team missed the colourful entrance of their previous space—until RN Robyn Higgins stepped in with her creativity! Robyn, known for her artistic flair, painted a beautiful mural that now welcomes everyone to the unit. Thank you, Robyn, for bringing warmth and colour to our new home! 💐🎨

1- my favourite way to spend time off varies but typically in the summer you’d catch me camping, hiking and recently gardening. Anything outside! In the winter I’m either at the arena in hockey mom mode or snuggled up with a book.

2- My dream vacation would probably be a month travelling Europe. Croatia, Greece and Italy are on the top of my list.

3- I love a good fresh pasta or a fully loaded plate of nachos!

4- I’m outing myself as a swiftie here.. there’s too many to list but definitely a Taylor Swift song. Varies based on mood.

5- my biggest fear is showing up to the wrong house for a birth and home visit. Especially just walking in for a backup and being at the wrong place 😂

1-Spending time with my family, which includes my spunky 3-year-old, Ro. Seeing the world through her eyes is such an amazing thing that I am thankful for. I also, enjoy working with polymer clay to create jewellery and trinkits for my side business Clay by Katie.

2-As a Potter head, it would be to tour Europe and visit all the Harry Potter filming locations, as well as the Warner Brothers Tour, in London.

3-That’s easy, sushi!

4-Strawberry Wine - Deana Carter

5-Clowns. Thank you fifth grade party with IT as the movie selection!
