Jessica West
Registered Nurse
Jessica has been passionate about pregnancy, labour & delivery and newborn care for as long as she can remember. She studied nursing at Dawson college and went on to acquire a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Victoria. Upon completing her nursing degree, Jessica received her post-graduate training in the birthing centre at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. It was there that she acquired a deep understanding of childbirth, the birthing centre environment, and learned important information to help prepare parents for their hospital birth experience.
After the birth of her son, Jessica also gained a fresh perspective on what it was really like to become a new mother. Her passion for the labour & delivery world expanded, opening her eyes to the need for improving prenatal education and postpartum support in the community. She then began volunteering with Nourri-Source, offering breastfeeding and emotional support to new mothers.
Jessica is a licensed CPR instructor with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and also works directly with new parents through her private nursing practice. She continues to participate in opportunities to strengthen her support and professional skills in maternal and fetal health care.
