Joanne Daviau
Registered Midwife / Sage Femme,
Lactation Consultant
Joanne has been a midwife since 1987 following completion
of a direct entry midwifery program. She completed a clinical
internship in the USA, Holland and Germany and has since
attended births in the home setting, in both tertiary and
rural hospitals. Joanne has been a lactation consultant
since 1995 and has worked for several years as a midwife
in Vancouver prior to moving to Vancouver Island in 1998.
Joanne is pleased to provide midwifery care to women and
families choosing either a hospital or home birth. She is
in the process of completing a Master’s degree in
Midwifery.
Well into her midwifery career, Joanne realized that both
her grandmothers were midwives in Northern Ontario and in
Quebec. Perhaps this explains her passion for midwifery.
Joanne presently lives in Comox with her husband and three
children.
