MELINDA LEVY

I love being a midwife. I am honoured to work in a profession where I can assist clients and their families through this life-changing transition.

I received a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Biology and Psychology from Trent University in 1999. My longstanding interest in women’s health issues led me to volunteer at a women’s healthcare clinic in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala. It was there that I had the pleasure of working with local midwives and attending my first birth.

I returned to Toronto eager to be more involved in birth work. After training as a doula, I worked as a labour support volunteer at Jessie’s Centre for Teenagers before applying to the Midwifery Education Program.

I graduated from the Midwifery Education Program at Toronto Metropolitan University with honours in April 2007. I benefited from the diversity of my midwifery education, including an elective placement with the doctors at the Baffin Regional Hospital in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

Some of my other interests include yoga, dance and knitting. I also enjoy camping and canoe tripping with my family. Including my 2 kids (whom were both born into the loving hands of midwives).

I look forward to working with you, and I am excited to be part of your birth story.
