Find a midwife.
Currently, midwifery services are only available in New Brunswick through the Fredericton Midwifery Centre. The first step to getting a midwife is to fill out an intake form. Find out more information on how to do so here.
If you are outside of the Fredericton area, you can still fill out an intake form. Find out more about how to support expansion of midwifery here.

Ashley Kaye, RM
I’m originally from Petitcodiac, New Brunswick and began my midwifery journey in 2009 at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario. During my education I completed clinical placements in Kitchener-Waterloo, ON and Moncton, NB. Following my graduation in 2013 I worked for 5 years at the IWK Community Midwives in Halifax, Nova Scotia before taking a position with the Fredericton Midwifery Centre in 2017 as a part of the team implementing the first midwifery program in New Brunswick. It has been wonderful to be able to finally support families in New Brunswick through their pregnancy, birth and post-partum experiences, and I especially enjoy providing postpartum home visits and breastfeeding support. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, gardening, baking, and spending time with my family. I look forward to the continued growth and expansion of midwifery in New Brunswick.
Brittany Stairs, RM
Originally from Fredericton, Brittany only discovered midwifery by chance, but she immediately knew she found her dream job. Brittany earned a Bachelor of Arts with honours from St. Thomas University and worked at the Fredericton Sexual Assault Crisis Centre before moving to Vancouver, BC, to pursue a Bachelor of Midwifery. During her midwifery education, Brittany had the privilege of working with families in British Columbia and Uganda. After graduating, Brittany worked in New Westminster for a year before moving back home to join the Fredericton Midwifery Centre.
Brittany believes strongly in informed choice - she will work to give your recommendations and guidance tailored to your individual circumstance - and support and advocate for your informed choices.
During appointments, you’ll find Brittany talking entirely too much about her mom and her very good dog, Maisie. Brittany also enjoys good food, travelling, babies of every kind, and spending time with her family.
