Simone Johnson
Master of Nursing/Paediatric Nurse Practitioner
From an early age, my inclination to help others was so strong that my mother would refer to me as the “little mother.” I had a particular fascination with caring for babies. As I got older and started thinking about my future career, I knew that I wanted to do something that would allow me to have a positive impact on pregnant women and the paediatric population.
My passion for maternal-child health has led me to work in underserviced communities as a labour and delivery, a postpartum and pediatric nurse in one of Toronto’s prominent neonatal intensive care units.
In my practice I use an evidence based and research driven approach, that is also holistic in nature to provide the best comprehensive care. I also place a value on the maternal-infant dyad recognizing all parties and their unique needs. I am passionate about improving the ease of access to quality postpartum care and meeting the needs of newborns, moms and their families wherever they are.
