Our practice is dedicated to training new midwives, so that more women in Ontario can have access to midwifery care.
There are almost always students being mentored in our practice. Your midwifery team may involve a student, with your consent. There are many advantages to having a student midwife as part of your team. Our students are enthusiastic and eager to learn. They are dedicated to learning the midwifery profession and enhancing their clients' birthing experiences. They also provide an extra set of hands in labour to give labour support!
Students always work closely with midwives, and have a vast range of clinical skills, depending on their stage in training. Our practice supervises students at all stages of the midwifery education program, from introductory level (first clinical placement) to clerkship (end of training, similar to residency).

Noor Salman
My name is Noor Salman, and I am a dedicated fourth-year midwifery student at TMU. I am excited about my placement with East Mississauga Midwives.
My passion for midwifery stems from the exceptional midwifery care I received during my own birth experiences. To me, midwifery is all about empowering and supporting birthing families to make the best-informed choices for themselves.
I moved with my family from Edmonton to Toronto to study midwifery. Prior to starting the program, I gained four years of valuable experience working as a doula and childbirth educator. I also contributed to the training of childbirth educators and doulas in Arabic while working for AMANI Birth.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three girls, reading (or listening to) a good book and experimenting with new recipes.
I am truly honored to be part of your birthing journey and am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow. Thank you for entrusting me with the privilege of sharing your birth experiences.

Meila (Sharmeila) Cherla
Hi, my name is Meila! I will be joining East Mississauga Midwives (EMM) for my Final Year as a midwife student with the Midwifery Education Program (MEP) at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), f.k.a Ryerson University. I had the pleasure of enjoying a month-long placement at EMM in my third year, and I am so excited to be returning. My passion is providing low-intervention perinatal care to growing families. As a South Asian woman, I enjoy providing culturally sensitive care to our multi-faceted and diverse communities in Mississauga. Prior to this placement, I have both hospital and home birth experience as a student with the MATCH program, Sages-Femmes Rouge Valley Midwives, the Birthing Suites floor at both Trillium Credit Valley Hospital and Saint Michael’s Hospital. I am thrilled to be able to learn and grow as a midwifery student providing low-interventional, and 1-on-1 care to birthing parents in a safe and supportive environment like EMM. A fun fact about me is I enjoy providing breastfeeding and body-feeding support post-birth. My hobbies include visiting café spots, pottery, walks along the water and indoor rock climbing. |
