Andrea Brett RM

My passion for pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding developed during the pregnancy and birth of my first child in 1992. After completing my midwifery education in Seattle (circa 1998), which took me to San Francisco, St Lucia and then back to Vancouver; I settled at The Midwifery Group and have been here ever since! 

I started out in my first years of midwifery practice working with who I call the OG's of Vancouver midwifery, (Carol Hird, Lee Saxell and Linda Knox). I gave birth to my second child in 2004. As a midwife of 25+ years experience, I have caught upwards of 900 babies and have provided care for many more clients in the prenatal and postpartum phases. I am also one of the clinical director's of The Midwifery Group and and an assistant clinical professor for the UBC midwifery program.

Throughout my years of practice, the miraculous wonder of growing and birthing a baby never ceases to amaze me! I respect individual autonony and honour the uniqueness of each person, each family and each precious newborn baby. I cherish the mutual satisfaction of establishing a trusting relationship with my clients and particularly the aspect of providing the framework for clients to be the primary decision makers in their care.

Outisde of work, you will find me immersed in the music world. I am an accomplished vocalist and perform on local Vancouver stages with a choir and a band. I also enjoy travelling, gardening, renovating and spending time with with my husband and grown kids.

I am truly excited to meet you and assist you and your loved ones through this incredible journey towards parenthood.
