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.
Vanessa Kay
Vanessa grew up in the fishing industry of Vancouver Island. She is a graduate of the Midwifery Education Program in Ontario, graduating in 2017 with her BA of Sciences in Midwifery. She went on to provide full scope midwifery care offering antenatal, labour + delivery and postpartum care in Vancouver, Squamish and Prince George. After taking some time away to have her own babies she moved to the Bulkley Valley with her young family in the Summer of 2021. Vanessa has a special interest in rural maternity care provision and was drawn back to the Bulkley Valley region after a student placement. In addition to her midwifery work Vanessa is also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant offering families support in all aspects of infant feeding. Vanessa is grateful to live and work on the unceded territory of Gidmit’en Bear and Wolf clan, home of the Witsuwit’en, Telkwa, BC.
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.
