Office Manager / Intake coordinator
Same person- just a different name!

Erin can’t remember a time when she hasn’t been fascinated with pregnancy and birth; midwives are Rock Stars to her! She has a background in communications and tech support (anyone remember Rogers Video?!) She is a birth doula and has been lucky enough to be present at some of Westside’s own midwives births! She is kept on her toes by her growing children (both born at home with midwife support) She spends her spare time trying to figure out what to do with her spare time.

Office Manager

Cara graduated from the University of Toronto and worked as a biologist in Vancouver before having children. For the last 14 years she’s been busy running a household with 3 active boys. All of Cara’s children were born at home with midwives and she’s been telling anyone that will listen how amazing midwifery care is since her first birth. In her spare time, Cara can be found trail running or hiking in the mountains or on her road bike (probably going up a mountain).

Office Manager

Emily has a passion for all things pregnancy and baby related. With a 4 year old daughter of her own it’s opened a whole new world of interests, which helped her make a career change from the beauty industry into midwifery office assistant. In her spare time she enjoys all forms of exercise and spending time with family.

Office Manager

Maya has always expressed genuine interest in pregnancy and birth as a young child! Maya first got into the birth world as a doula while completing her heath sciences undergrad at SFU. While studying, her career goal changed to focus more towards pursuing Midwifery. To attempt to get closer to the field she began volunteering at Westside and eventually became an admin! While she has stepped away from doula work, she now is apart of UBC's Midwifery program and loves every second of this work.

Office Manager

Sandrine has been dreaming of becoming a midwife since attending her younger brother’s home birth when she was 8 years old! As she embarks on her own midwifery journey at UBC, she has been loving supporting the team at Westside with the administrative side of things. In her spare time, Sandrine loves to knit, read, and work on mastering baking sourdough.
