Susie Schulz, RM – Offering Postpartum Midwifery Services (MSP Covered)
My journey in midwifery began shortly after the birth of my first child in the early 1990s. Since then, I’ve been honoured to care for thousands of pregnant, birthing, and postpartum families over the past three decades. Holistic midwifery has always been a powerful calling for me—one that continues to inspire lifelong learning, especially in the areas of infant care, lactation, and early parenting.
I bring extensive clinical expertise in diagnosing and managing common postpartum medical issues, and I have over 30 years of experience supporting families through breastfeeding and the postpartum transition. I am currently advancing my knowledge by pursuing certification as a lactation consultant to better serve the evolving needs of my clients.
If postpartum recovery becomes medically complex, I work closely with a trusted network of healthcare professionals—including community health RN’s, obstetricians, pediatricians, physiotherapists, lactation consultants, and mental health providers. I take an active role in coordinating care among providers to ensure seamless, compassionate, and evidence-based support for every family.
As a mother of four, I’ve personally experienced home births, hospital births, and waterbirths—all attended by skilled midwives. These deeply personal experiences have shaped my practice and strengthened my commitment to individualized, respectful care.
My hope is to empower and educate the families I work with so that the early postpartum period feels safe, supported, well-informed, and—most importantly—full of joy!
