As a twelve-year old looking through healthcare magazines, Jenny discovered her passion for helping women at various stages of their life. Jenny even created a scrapbook page which included snip-its of nursing and obstetrics content. At the time, she did not know the name for the type of practitioner that she wanted to become… a midwife! Jenny completed her Bachelor of Science (Health Science, 2013) at Mount Royal University (MRU) and applied to medical schools. Shortly after completing my BSc, she discovered the midwifery model of maternity care and returned to MRU in 2017. In 2021, she graduated from MRU with her Bachelor of Midwifery and a Minor in Women & Gender Studies.
The past few years of her life have been filled with loss and joy. The experiences remind her to remain present, and to live in the moment. As a parent myself, Jenny knows firsthand how sacred childbirth is, and how transformative pregnancy, labour, and parenthood are. Jenny feels that empowering others and walking with pregnant people during the experience of pregnancy and childbirth is exactly what her twelve-year-old self had dreamed of. Now, as a result of her learning about the physiology of how our human bodies build, birth, and feed our babies, she is convinced that pregnancy is an experience that renews trust in our bodies capabilities.
Jenny is honoured to be a midwife, because the role affords her the opportunity to live out her passion and to fulfill her purpose. Her practice of midwifery integrates discussions about how the body’s physiology, intuition, and evidence-based maternity care influences pregnancy, labour and birth. Her hope is to encourage confidence in her clients (and partners), about the body’s ability to build, birth, and nurture a baby as they navigate pregnancy and childbirth. Jenny is humbled by the clients and families she serves, and she appreciates being a part of these sacred and precious the moments.
For as long as Bailey can remember she has wanted to work alongside and support birthing people in some capacity. Bailey attended the University of Calgary and graduated with a science degree in 2018 with her primary focus being biology and chemistry. Near the end of her studies she came across this wonderful world of midwifery and was fortunate to begin her training at Mount Royal University shortly after. To Bailey, midwifery extends far beyond a profession – it has shaped the way she takes in the world and the way she wants to be present in the lives of others. Thank you for including Bailey in your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. She looks forward to getting to know and to share in so many incredible experiences with the birthing people and families!
Inclusion, bodily autonomy, evidence-based care, informed choice, and consent are at the forefront of Bailey's approach to midwifery. She also recognizes the privilege that encompasses an invitation into a birth space, and she feels profound gratitude to be able to develop collaborative and trusting relationships throughout each individual parenting journey.

Prior to pursuing midwifery Savannah studied and worked as a kinesiologist in the Okanagan, where she was continually amazed by the design and capability of our bodies. Her passion for midwifery was ignited when she joined a research project promoting reproductive health in rural Ghana. The relationships and experiences Savannah gained during that opportunity solidified her desire to care for families throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
During Savannah's midwifery training she had the privilege of working with skilled midwives, many of whom are here at the hive! They instilled in her a passion for informed choice, evidence based practice, and person centered care. These elements are core to how she approaches midwifery. Her goal is for clients to be informed, respected in their choices, and feel well supported. Supporting families during such a transformative time is beyond a privilege. Savannah is deeply grateful to the families that have allowed her to share in their journey, and she is excited to welcome and walk with future families!

She genuinely adores working with individuals across all age groups and feels grateful to be in a profession where she can make a difference in so many ways.
Breanna is extremely passionate about speech-language pathology because she has witnessed the tremendous impact it can have on individuals in various ways. Having been a client of a speech-language pathologist (SLP) herself when she was younger, she fondly remembers the fun she had during therapy sessions.
However, she also recalls the frustration she experienced when she couldn't effectively express herself. Now, she is thrilled to be in a position where she can empower others to find their voice, just as an SLP helped her find hers. Creating a safe and enjoyable environment, as well as celebrating even the smallest victories, are fundamental aspects of her practice that she holds dear. Outside of her work as a speech-language pathologist, she has a passion for playing the guitar and singing. She also enjoys watching hockey and immersing herself in the beauty of the outdoors. Coming from Saskatchewan, she continues to be amazed by the mountains here in Alberta. Breanna is approved to provide FSCD funding.
