Vera was a fantastic partner through my first pregnancy, birth and postpartum care. She always found time to listen to my concerns and respond with an evidence based approach. She is an excellent clinician yet understands the importance of being calm and confident to have the best pregnancy and labor possible, and does all she can to encourage this. I can say that we developed a partnership though the pregnancy which really served us during labor. I had a home birth, and though it was really hard, I never once doubted her competence and the care I was receiving. During the labor, I never felt panicked or worried, I had complete confidence in her. She has also been amazing for the postpartum care. She does home visits which is fantastic when recovering from a birth. Her approach is both in tune with healthy natural care (i.e. using coconut oil for cradle cap, air dry for diaper rash etc) but always cites evidence which gives me confidence in her recommendations.
There is so much we appreciated about collaborating with Vera and her colleagues during my pregnancy and postpartum. It was a really empowering experience for me and I could not have asked for better support people and midwives throughout this journey. I found Vera brings to her practice a wonderful balance of heart, professionalism, evidence-based decision making, respect and laughter (I could go on).I am grateful for and would highly recommend the midwifery care offered by Vera to anyone. I am looking forward to (hopefully) working with Vera again one day in the future!
After months of waiting for an appointment, Vera made me feel very uncomfortable and called me a drug addict for smoking pot previously. I would not recommend her terrible bed side manor to anyone.
Thank-you Vera for being such an important part of my journey. I am very conservative so i was unsure of using a midwife for the birth of my son. Vera ended up being the midwife for both of my children. The first was an emergency c-section and Vera literally held my hand the entire time. Her followup visits were amazing - she even brought me essential oil to help with my headaches. For my second birth she encouraged my decision to attempt a vbac. We had a successful vbac which was largely due to Vera and her persistence with the doctors. She was my biggest advocate and I always felt as though she was on my side. I had a few complications with the epidural and Vera called the hospital immediately to ensure i received immediate after care which allowed my to enjoy my daughter the first few days she was home. A moment you may only be blessed with a few times in life. You hold a very very special spot in my heart and I will always fondly remember the birth of my children and having you be a part of it.Sandy Shokar
Vera was our midwife and assisted in delivering our daughter with Dr. Donnelly at Lions Gate hospital four months ago. She was a great advocate for my choice to try vaginal breech birth and I credit her encouragement and wisdom to my actually being able to do it. My partner and I will be forever grateful to Vera!
