Company Description
West Country Midwives is honored to be continuing the wonderful service that Blessing Way Midwifery has been offering in this community for decades.
Barb Bodiguel is a pillar of midwifery in Central Alberta. Her influence and mentorship have shaped midwifery in Rocky Mountain House and led to the robust practice of midwifery that we see in the community today. West Country Midwives will be forever grateful for her contributions to the world of midwifery and her faithful services to the families in the community.
"In 1984 my journey to becoming a midwife began with an invitation to apprentice with three wise, brave women. Sandra Botting, Evonne Smulders and Susan Dowell were providing midwifery care and homebirth services to a determined group of families in Calgary. It was a privilege to learn to care for mothers and their babies with these modern day pioneer midwives. Our most important lessons came from the women themselves as we supported their choices and assisted at their amazing births.
Several years later, upon completion of a Registered Nursing program, I was employed on a busy Labor & Delivery Unit. My profound faith in the strength and power of women to birth their babies was an anchor in a challenging environment. There were many opportunities to learn from other practitioners and develop skills that further shaped my midwifery practice.
