HuckleBerry Midwives

Aanii! My pronouns are They/Them/Iel. I’m fluent in French and English. I’m an Indigenous midwife, with mixed ancestry of  Anishinaabek Nation and Region 7 of the Métis Nation, as well as settlers of Irish descent. I grew up on traditional Atikameksheng Anishnawbek and Wahnapitae First Nations territory in Northern Ontario, which is a big compelling force for my drive and ongoing support of Northern, rural and remote access to health care. I’m a graduate from Toronto Metropolitan University’s MEP and spent my years of study in various communities in the North and Far North. I have experience and a continued desire to support fellow Indigiqueer kin and their families, as well as 2SLGBTQ+ families accessing reproductive health care. I look forward to meeting you and your growing family at Huckleberry! When I’m not working, I like to garden and forage, ferment, cook, as well as write music, hike, and shoot film photography. 

Hello! My pronouns are she/her. I am a settler midwife from Scottish and Irish descent. I graduated from the UBC Midwifery Program in 2014. I have two children, ages 20 and 22. I am so grateful to be caring for your family.

Mackenzie Churchill

Registered Midwife

Hi, my name is Mackenzie or Mack! My pronouns are she/her. I am a white settler midwife. My ancestors are from Hungary, Ukraine, and Western Europe. I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto – Dish With One Spoon wampum territory. I first came to xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ lands before becoming a midwife, when I worked in public health and Indigenous cultural safety. My love for community care, reproductive justice, and heart work eventually drew me to midwifery. After finishing my studies at Toronto Metropolitan University, I started working on the Quartz team at Pomegranate Community Midwives. Now I am excited and honoured to be joining Huckleberry Midwives and Strathcona Midwifery. When I am off call you can find me in so-called Burnaby with my partner and two kitties. I love to read, knit, play piano, play games, and get to out to a good show when I can!
