Hello, my name is Joanne and I’m very much looking forward to this next year at Aurora with Hope for my fouth-year placement. After having my own four children with midwives followed by a decade spent at home raising them while living and breathing the world of alternative health, I could sense the need to bring back informative decision-making power to the birthing person and to women in general. And what better way to do this than through the beautiful world of birth and midwifery. I am honored to get to work alongside you and your family in helping create your birthing journey; one that empowers you to believe in your own body, helping guide you to that sweet spot of both strength and surrender.
