My journey supporting families through pregnancy and childbirth started as a Practical Nurse in a small town in the Kootenays. I started down the path to childbirth work as a pro-bono doula and educator.
In 2010 I ventured out to pursue a midwifery education. I earned an Associates Science of Midwifery from the National College of Midwifery in Taos, New Mexico, working alongside homebirth midwives in the USA and a not-for-profit birth center in the Philippines called Mercy in Action.
After returning to Canada I decided to pursue Canadian Registration through the Ryerson University’s International Midwifery Bridging program.
I practiced in Ontario for two years before returning home to the mountains of BC. After working two years at a practice in Langley, my small town roots drew me to seek opportunities outside the busyness of the Lower Mainland.
I’m now grateful to call Williams Lake home. I love hiking, gardening, music, good food with friends, and spending time with my family.
I also love working alongside the raw and real beauty of birth and supporting women as they journey through the process of bringing a child into the world.
Hello! My name is Katie and I am so delighted to be part of the Cariboo Midwives team! I grew up here in Williams Lake and always knew I was at home in the Cariboo.
Prior to studying midwifery at the University of British Columbia, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, and had a few extra adventures along the way!
What I love about midwifery is it’s never-ending opportunities to revel in life’s little moments. It is a true privilege to hear peoples’ stories, bear witness to their life’s journey, and most of all to watch families expand and unfold in all their various shapes and forms!
My partner and young kiddo are very wonderful and supportive accomplices to my budding life as a midwife. When not on call I am usually off on a toddler-led adventure, hopefully enjoying a nice cup of tea and a little bit of sunshine!
Keziah will be joining Cariboo Midwives as our administrator in September of 2022.
