Nikki Ibbitt, an internationally educated midwife (IEM) enjoys a moment with six-month-old son Santino on Friday, June 14, 2013. Despite completing her education in Texas in 2011, she received her training in a birth centre and must therefore find a clinical placement in a hospital before she can be registered to practice in Canada.
