Ruth Comfort BMW RM

A profound love of babies and a sincere commitment to women's health is ultimately what drew me to becoming a midwife. In order to fulfill this dream, I completed my bachelor's degree in midwifery at UBC and became a registered midwife in 2006. One month following the completion of my formal education, I gave birth to my son Louis, aka my little thesis! This re-affirmed my belief in the power and ability of the human body and in birth as a transformative and empowering experience.

I believe that trust, compassion, knowledge and a sense of humour are fundamental to midwifery care; pregnancy and childbirth are life changing. I feel it my responsibility to facilitate the process of birth in a positive, safe and empowering way. I take a holistic and down-to-earth approach to every element of the childbearing cycle, and feel privileged to attend women as they experience the power and intimacy of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood. 

I worked in group and solo practice in Prince George, BC  before joining The Midwifery Group in August 2008. I am now pleased to be part of team two with Annie Marsh. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Ruth, I am extremely grateful for the wonderful, positive experience you gave us. Your knowledge is truly amazing. When I was ready to give up you pulled me through and for that thank you doesn't seem like enough. We are eternally grateful." – M, J & baby Mischa
