Welcome
We are an established midwifery clinic that provides complete and personalized care to families through all stages of pregnancy, labour, birth and to six weeks postpartum. Our goal is to empower women and their families to experience the
childbearing year with knowledge, confidence and joy! In addition to providing home birth services, we also have admitting privileges at St. Paul’s, B.C. Women’s, Burnaby, and Royal Columbian Hospitals.
The first clinic of its kind in East Van, we proudly serve the women and families of Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and some of Port Moody. Click here to view a map of the areas we serve.
Our services are fully covered under MSP. Consultation with other health care professionals is easily obtained for our clients when needed, with midwives continuing to provide supportive care.
We are located at Commercial and Broadway (above the Scotia Bank) in the heart of one of Vancouver’s most colourful communities. Our comfortable clinic is easily accessible by public transit and is located opposite the Skytrain station.
