The cost of a midwife in Merrickville, ON can be influenced by several factors:

  • Type of Midwife

    Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who work in hospital settings may have different pricing than Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) who attend home births or birth center deliveries.

  • Birth Setting

    Hospital births with a midwife typically cost less out-of-pocket when covered by insurance, while home births and birth center deliveries may have different fee structures.

  • Scope of Services

    Many midwives offer comprehensive packages that include prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care, which can affect the overall cost.

  • Insurance Coverage

    In Ontario, including Merrickville, the cost of midwifery care is covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) for residents with valid OHIP coverage. Midwifery services, including prenatal, birth, and postpartum care, are fully funded, so there are no out-of-pocket fees for eligible individuals. It is important to ensure you register with a midwifery practice early, as spots can fill up quickly. If you do not have OHIP, you may need to inquire directly with the midwifery practice about costs and payment options.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Midwives with extensive experience, additional certifications, or specializations such as VBAC support or water birth may charge higher rates.

  • Geographic Location

    Midwifery costs can vary based on the cost of living and demand for midwifery services in your specific area.

Joefin Peter

13 years of experience
Packages from $800 · $35/hr

Hey, my name is Joefin (a.k.a. 10oclockjoefi). I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, and a certified sexual health educator. I provide education and support in Tamil and English! I have been doing this for 13 years, typically supporting first-time birthing people, racialized or immigrant families, or survivors. I like to describe my role as being there for your head and heart. While pregnant, I help you prepare for life as a parent, work with you to approach birth with confidence, and empower your support system to help you through the moment. Labour should be a purposeful yet manageable experience for you. One where you have control over the moment. After birth, I provide practical, informational, emotional, and social support. If you’re looking for a reliable cheerleader in your corner, I’m the childbirth educator or postpartum doula for you. I am a third culture kid who grew up in the United Arab Emirates and Canada so I have a special place in my heart for anyone who shares in the diaspora experience. I know firsthand the unique challenges this poses in major life transitions. I trained in Chennai, India with an OBGYN in providing pregnancy and postpartum support to parents in a culturally aware manner. I came back to Canada with that knowledge, learned about the Canadian labour/delivery system, and began supporting immigrant and refugee families through childbirth education and health systems navigation. This has shaped my practical approach to parental support and newborn care. Drawing from my biology and psychology education, I bring a matter-of-fact yet empathetic approach to everything I do. I conducted research on how intersectional identities impact sexual distress and my paper has been published in the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality! Given my areas of expertise, I have a passion for myth busting and science communication as a means to combat misinformation. This often empowers parents to make informed decisions while avoiding unnecessary pressures. My lived experiences make me passionate about supporting parents as they create happier, healthier, and safer childhoods for their babies.

Joefin was our postpartum doula for the first three months after our second baby was born, and I genuinely can’t say enough wonderful things about her. Having her support during those early months made such a difference for our whole family. She has such a calm, warm, reassuring presence and seemed to intuitively know what I needed, whether that was help with the baby, a chance to rest, practical support around the house, or simply having someone there who understood how intense the postpartum period can be. I always felt completely comfortable leaving the baby with her so I could sleep, shower, or have a little time to myself, which was invaluable. She was also absolutely wonderful with our older daughter. She made such an effort to connect with her and make her feel included and special during a huge transition for our family. Our daughter adored her, and it meant so much to have someone who understood that supporting us postpartum meant supporting our older child, too. She was even fantastic with our dog and fit so naturally into the rhythm of our home. Joefin is kind, thoughtful, dependable, and incredibly caring. She never made things feel clinical or intrusive; it genuinely felt like having an extra pair of capable, loving hands in our home. She took care of all of us, not just the baby, and made those first few months feel so much more manageable. We feel incredibly lucky that Joefin was part of our postpartum experience. I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a postpartum doula. She was such an important part of our baby’s first months and our transition to becoming a family of four, and we’ll always be grateful for the care she gave us.

I've had the opportunity to see Keegan support families across several different contexts over the years, and it's hard to overstate how naturally they inhabit that role. Their way of caring for others is calm, attuned, and humble. Keegan brings a steadiness that shows up long before a baby arrives. They have a remarkable ability to sense what kind of support is most needed in a specific moment. This could be helping you settle into your breath, easing practical tasks around the home, or creating an atmosphere of grounded confidence for the family. Keegan's attention is both focused and expansive. They are deeply attuned to the person they are supporting, while also staying aware of everyone who is part of the experience - partners, grandparents, friends, or chosen family. They include others in ways that feel natural and respectful, helping each person feel useful, supported, and connected. What stands out most is the depth of Keegan's presence. They meet you with quiet reverence, responding to joy, exhaustion, uncertainty, and even moments of grief with composure and genuine care. Their sensitivity creates space for whatever unfolds, without losing warmth or steadiness. Those moving through pregnancy and the loved ones surrounding them will experience Keegan as a grounded, perceptive, and wholeheartedly present support. They will discover someone who truly delights in being of service - capable, steady, and deeply attuned to the needs of the moment.
