Anne Barkham
Registered Midwife
I have been a midwife for almost 30 years
and am the mother of two grown children, one of whom was
born at home and the other in hospital. It has become
obvious to me over the years that midwifery practiced
in a continuity of care model where the family has a relationship
with their care provider empowers women, strengthens families,
and greatly enhances birthing normally. I have worked
in the city and now enjoy having a semi rural practice
with a combination of home and hospital deliveries.
I trained in Australia as a Registered Nurse
before coming to Canada where I obtained my midwifery
training from Seattle Midwifery School. I have been registered
to practice midwifery in BC since January of 1998.
