My husband and I were highly recommended and referred to Kathleen when we found out we had conceived our beautiful baby boy, and we are so incredibly grateful that we found her. She supported us from start to finish and was such a steady, reassuring presence throughout our entire pregnancy and birth journey. Kathleen is an absolutely lovely human — extremely educated, knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She is incredibly respectful of personal values, beliefs and choices, and we always felt heard, supported and completely cared for in her presence. We were especially grateful that Kathleen was able to be there for the birth of our baby boy recently. She truly was an absolute earth angel to have in the room. I remember looking over at her a couple of times during labour just for that little bit of guidance and reassurance, and her calm, safe energy was exactly what I needed in those moments. I would wholeheartedly trust Kathleen with any of my births and babies and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, respectful and genuinely invested in the families she supports. We will forever be grateful that Kathleen was part of bringing our sweet boy into the world. 🤍
— Ally Milne, review of Kathleen Stanford
How can I explain how much I love Kathleen? Definitely, I am forever grateful for meeting her. She showed me the confidence I had inside of me and the power I have to give birth to a new soul. I had a lot of fear and anxiety about giving birth and Kathleen’s presence and wisdom helped me overcome those fears and I am very grateful for that because giving birth to my son was the best experience of my entire life. I’m so thankful for her being there on the hospital room by my side, I felt safe and comfortable knowing she was there. Her energy is love and compassion, she has a lot of knowledge and experience, she is emphatic and nothing judgmental about your choices. I can keeping writing here basically forever about her qualities ❤️ Also I love the birth center and the classes she has there. It’s very convenient that you can find everything you need in her office, is like a physical center of knowledge and resources that are actually useful so you don’t have to waste your time looking for, it’s all there. 💕 I really hope she will be there for my next babies 🥰
— Nicole Barbierato, review of Kathleen Stanford
My husband and I took a prenatal course with Kathleen recently. It was incredibly informative, and the small class size (6 couples total) created a comfortable and open atmosphere. I came away from the class feeling very informed and empowered. I would recommend Kathleen’s prenatal classes to anyone who is expecting!

What is a midwife?
A midwife is a licensed medical professional who cares for low-risk pregnancies and mothers who want no-to-low intervention deliveries (e.g., home birth, birthing center delivery, water birth).
Can you pay for a midwife with HSA or FSA funds in Keremeos, BC?
Yes, you can use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds to pay for midwifery services, as long as those services are related to medical care. Always check the specific rules of your HSA or FSA plan, as there can be variations in what expenses are considered eligible between different plans.
Are midwives covered by insurance in Keremeos, BC?
Keremeos has no midwives listed within 60 miles. Families generally arrange midwife support privately and pay the provider directly, with reimbursement varying by health plan and policy. Before booking, ask about the provider’s fees, sliding-scale rates, and payment plans. Check with your provincial health plan or private insurer to confirm what your specific policy may reimburse.
What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?
A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.
What's the difference between a midwife and an OBGYN?
A midwife is a healthcare professional who specializes in low-risk pregnancies, childbirth, and postpartum care. They typically emphasize a natural and holistic approach, focusing on minimal medical interventions. Midwives often work in birth centers, at home births, or in hospitals, depending on their certification and location. They provide personalized care and support throughout pregnancy and labor and may also assist with breastfeeding and newborn care. An OBGYN is a medical doctor who has completed extensive training, including medical school and a residency, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. They care for all types of pregnancies, including high-risk cases, and are trained to handle medical complications, perform surgeries (like C-sections), and provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare beyond pregnancy. OBGYNs typically work in hospitals or clinics and can manage a broader range of medical situations.
Can I see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy?
Yes, you can see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy. Midwives are trained to provide care during pregnancy, including for those conceived through IVF, as long as the pregnancy is low-risk. They can help with prenatal care, labor, and delivery, and provide postpartum support. However, if your IVF pregnancy is considered high-risk or involves complications, you may need to work with an obstetrician in collaboration with the midwife to ensure proper care. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best care plan for your situation.
