Sylvia Nicholson I consider it both a privilege and an honor to be able to help couples traveling the path towards a safe and satisfying birthing experience. My initial training as a midwife took place in Cardiff, Wales in 1977 and it came shortly after having graduated as a Registered Nurse from the Vancouver General Hospital School of Nursing. Upon my return to Canada, I worked several years as an outpost nurse which included being able to provide midwifery care to Inuit families in isolated communities across the Arctic and along the coast of Labrador. More recently, in 2000, I obtained a Masters of Science Degree in Nurse-Midwifery from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT. Since becoming licensed as a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) in the United States I have returned to my roots and become licensed as a Registered Midwife in British Columbia in 2002 and subsequently spent three years providing women in the Fraser Valley with midwifery care before moving to the North Okanagan. I encourage each woman to honor herself by trusting herself and securing the faith in herself to experience normal physiological childbirth. Sylvia Nicholson Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory. (William Barclay, 1907-1978)
