Welcome our newest addition to our team, midwife Birdie Solokha (they/them)
Говорю по Русски
My name is Birdie Solokha. I have immigrated with my family from Siberia as a teen and hold both Russian and Ukrainian roots. I have completed my Bachelor of Health Science in Midwifery from Toronto Metropolitan University and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at York University.
Prior to midwifery, I have been working at the Hospital for Sick Children since 2018 as a paediatric Registered Nurse, where I’ve gained a lot of experience in providing safe, empathetic care within more emergent environments.
As a midwife, my passion lies in offering inclusive, family-centred care to folks who come from a variety of diverse backgrounds. I value care that utilizes a reproductive justice lens, encompasses holistic care to growing families as well as those that may experience loss.
As a q***r provider I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ groups and prioritize creating a safe space for obstetric and postpartum/ neonatal care. I can offer our midwifery services fluently in Russian to folks who speak it as well as prefer it.
When not working, I adore spending my time outdoors in nature, gardening, adventuring, bird-watching, cuddling with my 3 goofy cats and building a joyful life with my partner and our dearest folks.
I look forward to working with you along the West End Midwives team and to serving you and your family.
See you soon and
До скорой встречи!
