I had the incredible privilege of apprenticing at Beachside Midwifery, and I truly can't say enough about my experience. Learning from Sarah Marks and Karen Kennedy has been one of the greatest gifts of my midwifery journey.
They have a beautiful way of caring for families that is both deeply compassionate and incredibly safe. They never treat clients like "just another pregnancy." Instead, they take the time to listen, educate, and support each family as individuals, honoring their values while providing thoughtful, evidence-based care. Their years of experience shine through in every decision they make, and I was constantly inspired by how calmly and confidently they navigated every situation.
As a future midwife, I learned so much by simply watching how they interacted with clients -- with kindness, respect, patience, and genuine love for what they do. They are the kind of midwives I hope to become one day.
Any pregnant person would be truly blessed to have Sarah and Karen walking alongside them throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I will always be grateful for everything they taught me and for the example they set every single day.
I hope to be back soon read more
