Love for our Midwives

My midwife was so composed and calm throughout my long, drawn out, labour. She kept my spirits up and never doubted me for a second. My midwife made our home birth comfortable and easygoing even when things got (almost) too much for me to handle. My husband and I appreciated her patience and kind kind heart. ❤️ thank you again, for guiding us perfectly in bringing baby Haley to this world.
After having my first child in the hospital and having my second at home; comparing both experiences, I would HANDS DOWN take a midwife and home birth again. My midwife- my midwife was amazing, she made me feel safe, capable and supported. I don’t even have the words to express how thankful I am that we have midwives available to us and how thankful I am for the one I had. I’m ever so grateful!
I had such a positive home/water birthing experience with Passages with the birth of my first son, and I feel so lucky to be under their care again, as I’m expecting another little boy in a few months. It is my hope that every woman can work in partnership with such a skilled and informed, yet “chill” (truly “chill,” for lack of a better word to describe her wonderfully calm demeanor!) professional. Thank you, Passages!
Having our midwife was such a blessing and a gift. She was supportive, informative and made me feel safe and comfortable.

I was so blessed to have Melanna as my first midwife and she gave me the confidence to have a home water Vbac 😊 and then I had Heather for my second vBac and she gave me totally different confidence to love and trust myself again after such a huge loss. I’m the mama I am today because of the women at Passages ❤️

I cannot say enough about my experience with Passages Midwifery and my midwife. When I became pregnant with our first baby I knew right away that I wanted a midwife. The waiting list was long for the Edmonton area. Our prayers were finally answered when we got a call from Passages when I was 17 weeks along. Our midwife immediately made us feel confident in ourselves and in her skill to guide us through this home birth journey. As we got closer I became more excited and confident, instead of anxious, thanks to her guidance. Labor and birth were beautiful, peaceful and full of love. Our midwife’s gentle and encouraging coaching was in perfect symmetry with what I needed. Our sweet baby boy William was born into this world on January 10, 2018, and we can’t thank our midwife enough for caring so well for all of us.
Kind words from Kelsea G.
 Our midwife was absolutely wonderful to work with! She is very caring and compassionate towards her Moms. She is also incredibly knowledgeable and comforting. I never felt like just another patient to her, she truly cares for each one of us and you can see that! I’m sad that I won’t be having anymore babies because it means I won’t be able to have her as my midwife again! 
Kind words from Ali K.
 Our midwife was one of the only reason I was able to stay balanced through my whole pregnancy. From the first moment we spoke at our first meeting to the after care of our daughter. It was my first pregnancy and I didn’t have my mom with me. I felt like I always had the support I needed and she answered all of my “I feel silly” questions. She was so calm and reassuring and knew when to make me laugh and when to keep me going. I am so thankful for the referrals I had to come to this wonderful place and so amazed by the people involved who make all of these families what they are. 💖
