Public Professional Bio
Midwifery has been an important part of my life ever since I could remember. I was born at home through the gentle hands of a midwife in Ghana, West Africa and have always had a fondness for the emotional, spiritual and physical components of childbirth. I've been a Registered Midwife in the Province of Alberta since 2004 and have travelled with hundreds of women on their birthing journey. I started my education at the U of C obtaining a Bio Science Degree; I then began my midwifery education at the University of Brighton in the UK and finally graduated from the Seattle Midwifery School in Washington State. I completed my international practicum on the beautiful island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean.
The diverse cultural, ethnic and social background of my clients has allowed me to gain great appreciation for the women I have cared for and is the basis for my strong conviction in completely individualized care. It also re-affirms my belief that birth is one of the most wonderful and natural parts of life.
I am a mother of 2 wonderful boys with an amazing husband who has been with me through my wonderful journey of Midwifery and more. My clinic is in old town Okotoks, which serves not just the South quadrant of Calgary, and Okotoks but surrounding areas of De Winton, High River, Nanton, Priddis, Black Diamond, Turner Valley and other rural areas of Foothills MD. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your wonderful birth journey.
