Did you have a water birth? We’d love to hear from you.

I’m supporting Transitions Midwifery in gathering real stories from women who’ve had a water birth.

These voices can help bring this option to Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Please read the message below—and if it resonates, consider sharing your experience in the comments or by private message. 🤍

We’re looking to hear from women in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Langley, Mission, and Port Coquitlam who have experienced a water birth—either at home or in a hospital setting.

If you’ve had a water birth, would you be willing to share a brief testimonial about your experience? Whether it was empowering, calming, challenging, or transformative, your voice matters. These stories can help provide real insight into what water birth looks and feels like for families in our community.

We are working to support access to water birth as an option at Ridge Meadows Hospital. While this practice has been approved within Fraser Health, local implementation is currently facing resistance. Hearing directly from those who have experienced water birth can play an important role in informing care, addressing concerns, and advocating for patient-centered choices.

If you’re open to sharing, please comment below or send a private message. Feel free to include whether your birth was at home or in hospital, and anything you feel others—or care providers—should understand about your experience.

Thank you for helping elevate informed choice and respectful maternity care in our community.

The truth is… our medical system isn’t built to fully support postpartum healing. Providers are doing their best, but most simply aren’t given the education or tools for deep, root-level postpartum recovery. That’s why so many mothers feel unseen, unsupported and left to figure it out on their own.

But, there IS a way forward •~ I have tools to help you rebuild your foundation and find the healing you deserve.

Where do you feel postpartum care is missing or misunderstood?
