Find a Midwife Near Me in New Hamburg, ON

Hello! Thank you for being here! My name is Kristin, I’ve been on a mission to encourage women to take back birth and own their unique stories through yoga, breath, reiki, Ayurveda healing and traditional remedies. *Please note I only companion women in births at home outside the system*

I am a birth worker since 2012, I have provided a variety of services in a variety of settings around the world. I am located in Toronto, Canada, but I am available to travel for minimum one month commitments. I have worked in Macau & Hong Kong, Manila, Nairobi, Vancouver, and Guadalajara, and have a global perspective on birth physiology and traditions. I provide trauma-informed, and culturally safe care, be it education, lactation support, birth and postpartum doula services, or midwifery care. I’m available as a midwife only where a license isn’t required. My approach is very collaborative—rather than “save” you from unsafe practitioners, I prefer to work with you comprehensively in the prenatal period to be sure you have the environment you need for a peaceful and satisfying (physiologic, if possible) birth. My years and depth of experience and knowledge sets me apart from most locally-focused doulas, so I tend to work well with expats and globe-trotters like myself. My happy place is home in Ontario in the near North, at the cottage that has been a part of my family’s experience for 100+ years. I love all animals but especially dogs, and I ADORE drinking coffee and discussing big ideas.

I love helping women understand and awaken to their own power in birth. Babies profoundly benefit from their mothers feeling a sense of empowerment and freedom throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. During this meaningful and normal physiological process, there is a hormonal orchestra that helps both mom and baby to dance and shift their way into each other's arms. My goal is to protect this space, offering a balance of privacy vs suggestions and guidance. Part of my expertise lies in recognizing and distinguishing normal from abnormal during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It is an honor and privilege to walk beside families in their childbearing seasons and adjust care to fit individual needs.

Hello! My name is Staci and I am a homebirth midwife. We, my husband and 4 children, have lived in NEOHIO for about 7 years. As a homebirth midwife we are eager to to learn about the family and what moves them to birth at home. We walk with the family throughout pregnancy and give as much information as we can get our hands on to share with them so they can make informed decisions about their birth care. We do all of our visits and care in home. We spend an hour or more if needed at each visit. We cherish this time of intimacy. Health, through food, exercise, and herbs, is our utmost focus. We are continually trying to learn and grow and share with our clients all we can. Some clients prefer to have co-care with an OB OR nurse midwife while others want nothing to do with any hospital care (unless a case of transport). We love to customize our care to our individual families.

I am a Certified Nurse Midwife who has transitioned from hospital practice to home birth practice so that I can provide more holistic, effective and individualized care. At Three Rings Midwifery, we help women reduce stress and manage anxiety. We listen to women and help support them through the transitions involved in growing, birthing, and caring for the next additon to their families.

Katie has a foundation in the fields of reproductive and public health and has worked with women and birthing families in various roles since the late 1990s. Called to midwifery after her own community birth experience with nurse midwives at The Birthplace in Pittsburgh (now the Midwife Center for Birth and Women’s Health), she pursued training as a doula and childbirth educator before earning her BSN in 2008. She served in the field of public health in the roles of project director, clinical educator, and clinician for two sexual health and family planning clinics and completed her master's degree in nurse midwifery in 2016. Katie strongly supports empowered choice and bodily autonomy in all aspects of health and has been very intentional about specializing in low intervention community birth throughout her career as a midwife. She has supported families choosing out of hospital birth at an Amish and Mennonite birth center in Wayne County, Ohio since 2016 and is committed to serving as a preceptor for midwifery students pursuing community birth experiences whenever possible. A student of herbalism and integrative health, Katie weaves these practices throughout her midwifery work. Katie maintains certifications in BLS and NRP, and regularly attends Birth Emergency Skills Trainings (BEST) and other advanced community midwifery skills workshops.
