Linda Peters
RM, RN, IBCLC

I began my career in Midwifery twenty-five years ago on Canada's east coast where I apprenticed-trained in an active homebirth practice. Teaching childbirth classes was an integral aspect to providing care during the childbearing year. My family moved from the east to the west coast where I established a homebirth practice on Hornby Island. Following midwifery registration in 1998 I moved to the Lower Mainland to serve a larger community.

My education includes an RN with a specialty certificate in Obstetrics, working in hospital integrated labor & delivery, neonatal care & postpartum care. My background in both home and hospital environments allows me to offer either environment to clients with equal ease.

My interest in supporting women during their postpartum period led me to complete first the Breastfeeding Counselor program and then the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant exams. Providing new mothers with information and gentle guidance during the early days of breastfeeding can alter their experience of mothering.
