History

Established in 2013.

Founded by Registered Midwife Carolyn Sinclair & PhysioPlus Health Group Founder Michelle DeMarchi, FiftySeven offers warm, family-​focused learning & wellness support from pregnancy to preschool. Both founders are experienced healthcare professionals & moms with the knowledge to help you build confidence, increase wellness, & raise a happy, healthy family.

As a midwife on extended parental leave, Carolyn wanted a way to continue providing education & support to the birthing & parenting community in Toronto. Michelle, a physiotherapist & osteopath with over 20 years of clinical experience, had always hoped to extend her scope to include research-​based education & support services. Together, they have launched a welcoming, empowering community, a one-​stop shop where families can access resources, education, support & wellness services from reliable health care providers.
