Carmen Wiebe
Carmen grew up in the Hazeltons on Gitxsan territory and has a strong commitment to and love of the area. She did her midwifery training at Laurentian University in Ontario and joined the practice in 2018. In her time off, Carmen enjoys outdoor recreation and making music. You can find her out and about in town and on the trails with her husband, son, daughter and two doggos.
Heather McTaggart
Heather joins the Hazelton community after travelling and practicing throughout Ontario, remote regions of Quebec, and the interior of British Columbia. She holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Women’s Studies and completed a Bachelor of Health Sciences in Midwifery from Laurentian University in her hometown of Sudbury, Ontario.
Heather first came to Hazelton in 2023 as a locum midwife and was so taken by the community that she now calls it home. She feels deeply honoured to live and work on the unceded territory of the Gitxsan Nation and can often be found exploring the local trails and mountain slopes.
Bayli Law
Raised in the small, close-knit farming community of Caroline, Alberta, Bayli developed a strong foundation early in life. After earning her Health Sciences degree in 2014, she pursued a Bachelor of Midwifery at Mount Royal University, where she discovered a deep-seated passion for rural midwifery. For the past several years, she has supported families in central Alberta and is now excited to provide care in the beautiful community of Hazelton, BC, where she looks forward to making a positive impact in the lives of the families and community she serves. Outside of midwifery, Bayli enjoys reading, gardening, caring for her horses, and most of all, spending time with family and friends.
Kate Koyote
Kate is a Registered Midwife with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. Her practice is grounded in compassionate, relationship-based care, and she is deeply committed to meeting people where they are at—honoring their values, experiences, and unique journeys into parenthood.
Kate recently relocated to the beautiful Bulkley Valley and is proud to be part of the team at Skeena Midwives. Throughout her career, she has developed a strong trauma-informed approach to care, recognizing the importance of safety, trust, and respectful communication in every interaction. She believes that informed choice, continuity of care, and emotional support are essential to positive birth experiences.
It is a privilege to walk alongside families during such a transformative time in their lives, and Kate remains passionate about providing skilled, supportive, and individualized care to the communities she serves.
