Mercer Wilcock RM, IBCLC (she/her)

Mercer’s experience in the birth world is vast and spans provinces and international education. She enjoyed a private doula practice in Ontario for almost a decade after the birth of her first child before embarking in a global midwifery program with NARM/MEAC. Realizing the obstacles faced by internationally trained midwives in Canada, Mercer moved to British Columbia to attend UBC’s Faculty of Medicines’ midwifery program and had 4 more babies, all born at home with midwives on different Gulf Islands. After graduating with honours and moving back to Ontario, Mercer finalized her IBCLC requirements to set up a beautiful, private IBCLC home practice in old north, London Ontario. Having twelve years of personal lactational and infant feeding experience, consulting with countless midwifery and obstetrical clients, she is well versed to support whatever goals you have re: lactation and infant feeding. 

Mercer strongly believes in the standards outlined by The World Health Organization and UNICEF supporting infants’ health via human-milk feeding and physiologic birth and is very interested in the research supporting the benefits of water birth on the dyad and lactation experience. 

Waterbirth Tub Rentals are available for accessible, environmentally friendly and safe homebirth tub rentals for London and area clients
