Amy Brownhill (she/her)

Hello! I am Amy. I completed my midwifery education in Aotearoa/New Zealand, graduating in 2002. I worked in a few different communities before coming home to Vancouver Island in 2007. I have practiced with Cook Street Community Midwives ever since.

I deeply enjoy working with the diverse group of families who come to our office and am committed to practising informed choice, trauma informed care, and simply meeting each person where they are at while having a baby.

As a LGBTQ practitioner I find special joy and meaning in working with this community.

While I love attending births and will never tire of the miracle of it all, my absolute favourite part of being a midwife is simply in supporting people while they become parents. I love getting to know people slowly through their pregnancies, answering their questions and helping with the big life transition through birth and postpartum into parenthood.

I am grateful to live in the Gorge/Tillicum community, in the beautiful territory of the Lekwungen-speaking people, with my wife and our three children. When I am not catching babies and visiting families I can be found gardening, weaving, and fitting in as much volunteer work as I can.
