Testimonials

"Dear Lisa,
Thank you so much for taking such good care of Mattea and I throughout the pregnancy and the birth. Especially the birth! Even though we had to have doctors involved, having you there with us made me feel safe and cared for and also helped me to keep things in perspective. It was a long and difficult journey and I'm so thankful you were with us through it all (even all the late night pages!). I'm looking forward to your help with baby #2!"

"Thank you so much for your attentive, reassuring care throughout my pregnancy and birth of our beautiful son! The whole experience was amazing - from the relaxed atmosphere at the clinic (you even made Landon, our first son, feel special!) to the empowering birth and gentle postpartum care. We couldn't have asked for more!"

"As soon as I met Nicole, I felt secure by her gentle disposition and extensive knowledge on birthing. Nicole was supportive and calm throughout my pregnancy, labour and birth. She was always available by phone and the post-partum home visits were so appreciated, while I was recovering. When I think back to my birth experience, I have nothing but good feelings and I know a huge part of why everything went so smoothly, is because I chose Nicole as my midwife."

"From the first time I met Nicole, I knew that she was a perfect fit for our family and my plan for a homebirth. She put my husband and I at ease with her self-confidence and gentle nature, which allowed us to rest in the knowledge that our birth could be relaxing and a beautiful experience. Her beautiful partner Lisa, was a student at the time, but we forgot about that very quickly as her knowledge and love for her craft makes her a natural midwife and an obvious choice to care for us. Nicole and Lisa, or my 'birth fairies' as I like to call them, took an experience that can be very clinical and turned it into a magical time for our family and a loving welcome for our beautiful daughter. I am so pleased with our loving care that we received from our special 'birth fairies'."

"Our prenatal care was great. We always looked forward to our appointments and having the ability to build a relationship with our midwives. It was nice to be able to get to know the people who would be involved in such an intimate and important part of our lives. Being able to have 30-60 minute appointments was vital to building this relationship. Since we planned a home birth, with the option for a water birth, having the opportunity to welcome them into our home prior to birth, was comforting."

"Although every situation is unique and would require individual evaluation, I believe that a collaborative care option should be more readily available to women who want it. I am fortunate to have had Nicole Seguin as my midwife who together with my obstetrician Dr. Petra Selke, and the diabetes in pregnancy clinic at the BC Women's Hospital provided me with outstanding support, and comprehensive information throughout my pregnancy, labour, and delivery. However, it was Nicole who provided us with the means for clarity and confidence in pregnancy. Her care included my pre-existing medical concerns, but focused on the most important consideration, which was of course the pregnancy."

"We did not originally plan for a home birth, but after meeting with Nicole and Lisa a few times during our pregnancy, we felt confident and comfortable with the idea of delivering at home. Their knowledge, professionalism, and personal attention were extremely reasurring, and their post-natal home visits were so valuable to us as new parents. Thanks to Nicole and Lisa for making the birth of our son such a beautiful experience."

"Nicole is a truly gifted midwife. I cannot imagine the birth of my daughter Miracle without her presence. Nicole guided both my husband and myself through the process of pregnancy and the miracle of birth. Her exemplary medical knowledge and gift of intuition were of great comfort to me, as I had not planned on ever having a child and was quite unprepared and anxious. Nicole is grace, heart, compassion, guts and professionalism personified. I feel so fortunate to have had her as my midwife and I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"I was privileged to have Leah at the birth of my second son, Silas. Even though we had just met, my husband and I felt very comfortable with you. I had had a traumatic birth experience in the past, but you gave me the strength and courage to get through it this time. I felt safe to do what I needed to do - you never made me feel embarrassed or told me to be quiet. You gently reminded me to trust my body. The birth of Silas was an amazing experience for me. It was fast, furious and hard work but it was exactly how I wanted it - normal and natural! I feel a tremendous sense of pride. Thank you! You are truly amazing at what you do and I am grateful for having you at the birth of Silas."
