Phases of Care
Pre-Natal Care
Midwife care begins with an initial meeting, and the partner is encouraged to attend. Throughout your pregnancy, monthly visits turn into weekly visits, along with free Pre-natal classes to help you feel prepared!
Labour & Birth Care
We are on call 24 hours a day ready for when the time comes! With skilled clinical, physical, and emotional support, we`re by your side every step of the way at home or in the hospital within Manitoulin.
Post-Partum Care
You`ll have support with breastfeeding, answering any questions/concerns and weekly home visits to ensure you and your baby are recovering well emotionally and physically.
“The best midwifery care is provided when clients make informed decisions about their health care”
“Midwifery care is free and publicly funded by OHIP, along with the option of self-referral or referral by family doctor”
