We are sad to announce that we will no longer be taking applications for midwifery care.

Laura and Meghan have worked as a small team together for close to a decade supporting hundreds of Okanagan families through birth and parenthood. It is hard to say goodbye to the amazing clinic we have built, however, we look forward to the new adventures ahead of us!

We have been so happy to serve the birth community over the last many years. It has truly been our privilege to support families through pregnancy, labour & birth, and postpartum. Thank you for the honour of being invited into your birth stories!

You can find both Laura and Meghan working with the team at Maternity Care Westside starting March 2024!

Laura will be transitioning to clinic and postpartum support only. Laura has also completed her masters in clinical counselling and is now focusing on her new adventure. Laura specialize in supporting a wide variety of women’s issues, as well as pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety. She is experienced in supporting folx through grief and loss experiences during the perinatal period, which can include miscarriage, terminations and medical terminations of pregnancy, stillbirth, and newborn loss. Laura also supports healthcare professionals in building resilience after burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious/secondary trauma responses. She practices from a trauma-informed foundation, and trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (Certificates in Level 1 and for Traumatized Individuals).
