Combining my midwifery, doula, and childbirth education experience, I have been working with childbearing families providing support, education, and empowerment for 12 years.

I am a graduate of Seattle Midwifery School's midwifery education program (2002-2005). My clinical experience includes home, birth center and hospital births in both Washington State and British Columbia. I have attended over 350 births and brings all of those experiences to my midwifery practice caring for women and their newborns. Prior to midwifery education, I worked with growing families as a labour doula, postpartum doula, and childbirth educator.

I am active in continuing education and professional development, having presented research at conferences in the US including to the Midwives Association of Washington State and recently at the annual conference of Midwives of North America.

I am a mother of four children, all born into the hands of midwives. The births of my own children taught me the positive power of childbirth as a life-altering event. Providing maternity care is my life calling. I look forward to sharing it with you.

"Knowing you were there, before and after our baby's birth, was tremendous peace of mind. You always made our visits so enjoyable and you were so patient with all of our "first-time-parent" questions. But I especially will remember how you were with him, your love for children really came through when you held or talked to our little guy. So all of that goes into one big THANK YOU! I am glad you were a part of this incredible event in our lives. "

Lindsay Brimblecombe,
Registered Midwife

Lindsay is currently on maternity leave. She will be returning to practice in October 2010.

I was part of the first graduating class from UBC's Bachelor of Midwifery Degree Program in April 2005, and trained at a variety of placements, including Prince George, Campbell River, and BC Women's in Vancouver.

I've always picked jobs and training that support people to take ownership of their own experiences. My previous education includes certification in American Sign Language, Working with Youth in Community Settings, Doula Training, and Health and Fitness Studies. This diverse training helped me while running a Community Kitchens program, and working in recreation with children and at-risk youth.

I believe that pregnancy and birth can be normal and extraordinary at the same time; a belief reaffirmed when I had twin daughters in 2009. I also think that, when given adequate information, a woman will have the tools to make the decisions that are right for her and her family. I endeavour to support a woman to feel involved and respected in her care and I appreciate the opportunity to work with you.
