We are a group of 11 midwives: Bridget Lynch, Jennifer Goldberg, Mary Fish, Fariba Shodjaie, Dione Amsterdam, Kristen Dennis, Alusha Morris, Lisa Thacker, Corinne Hebden, Sodere Djirata and Michaela Chandler. In Ontario, a midwife is a registered health care professional who provides primary care to low-risk clients throughout pregnancy, labour and birth. They are available to clients 24 hours a
day, seven days a week by pager. Community Midwives of Toronto is committed to providing an inclusive, safe environment for all, including equitable treatment with dignity and respect for diversity regardless of a person’s race, citizenship, place of origin, ethnic origin, colour, ancestry, age, religion, family status, marital status, s*x, s*xual orientation, gender identity/expression, immigration status, size or level of ability. In Ontario, if you see a midwife you will not see a physician unless there are concerns or complications. Most births are normal and there are no complications. If there are complications, midwives can consult or transfer care to a physician. Midwives provide safe and expert care to healthy clients and newborns. The midwives at our practice speak English, French, Spanish, and Farsi.
