Testimony Tuesday!

I truly can’t say enough good things about my experience with my midwifery team.

As a first time mom, I went into pregnancy feeling excited but nervous about all the unknowns. From my very first appointment, I felt completely safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. They always made me and my family feel so important and listened to.

Because of their care and encouragement, I felt confident going into my home birth and it ended up being the most empowering, beautiful experience I could have imagined.

Our sweet boy, Hayes, was born quickly at home at 11:44pm on January 4, 2026, weighing 7.8 lbs. Welcoming him in our own space, surrounded by calm and trust, was truly the birth I had hoped and dreamed of.

The care I received throughout my pregnancy was incredible, and I’m already a little sad this chapter is coming to an end (until the next baby!).

A special thank you to Ally for being there for me from my very first appointment all the way through Hayes’ birth. That steady support meant everything.

Forever grateful for this amazing team.

"I had the privilege of welcoming my son on September 8th at Brantford General Hospital, and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the midwifery team—especially Michael and Melanie.

Their presence throughout my labor and delivery brought me strength, comfort, and reassurance during a time that can feel overwhelming. Michael and Melanie cared for me with such patience, compassion, and professionalism that I truly felt supported every step of the way.

They listened, guided, and comforted me in moments when I needed it the most, and their calm confidence helped me stay grounded throughout my entire birth experience. I am profoundly grateful for the kindness and exceptional care they provided to both me and my baby.

Thank you, Michelle and Melanie, for being a part of such an important chapter in my life. Your dedication and heartfelt support will always be remembered."

"From my initial appointment with Ally and Heather T I knew my experience with the midwives of Brant was going to be amazing. The follow up throughout my entire pregnancy was incredible and I always felt heard in all my appointments. Our little guy was due on March 31 but decided to come March 10th. On the 10th it all happened quite fast. From being admitted to the hospital around 10:30pm (March 9th) to having a baby boy at 12:21am. It was all happening so fast and although the birth didn't go exactly how I had "planned" Aly was very reassuring throughout the whole birth. My birth was very quick and so although I don't feel like I have a long birth story to share I do feel I need to give huge thanks for the before and after care of myself and our baby. After having our baby boy, we were admitted for jaundice 2 days later and I felt so comfortable and safe with the steps the midwife's were taking. They were able to walk me through the whole process of what was going to happen when getting to the hospital and it was very reassuring as a first time mom. Additionally our baby boy got a UTI at 15 days old. I had caught it with a fever in the night and called the emergency number for the midwife's in the morning to see what was next to do. Ally was great at reaching out to the hospital and even giving the paeds on call a heads up for us that we were going to be heading into the ER. This is a scary time when your baby is sick and having Heather and Ally as supports was huge, from there constant check ups while we were in the hospital then to all the support and help before giving birth. I can't recommend the midwives of Brant enough."
