Birth reminds us that while we may plan the path, sometimes the journey takes its own direction… and that new path can be even more beautiful than we imagined.

I’m so excited to welcome a new student midwife to our practice, Yael!

“Greetings! My name is Yael Woods (prn. Ya-el). I am a senior midwifery student at Southwest Wisconsin Technical College. I relocated to Washington from Houston, Texas with my now 18-year-old son, Evan, in February 2024 – learning and growing in my midwifery journey. I am also a certified full spectrum doula specializing in fertility, birth, postpartum and bereavement for the last six years – and running my own business, Purple Lotus Fertility & Birth Services, supporting many moms, babies and families.

We're going to host another birth assistant orientation on August 31st! If you're interested in birth assisting and this day is available for you, RSPV by text to 360-226-2362

If you have some experience in healthcare or have gone to births as a doula, you may be a good fit!

We'll be doing a thorough tour of the birth center, practicing skills, signing paperwork talking about the shadow period. It typically takes 3 hours. Would love to see you there!

Meet Madison!

Madison is our amazing office assistant and the friendly face that greets you when you arrive! She also answers our phones and helps keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. We’re so grateful for her constant presence and all the ways she supports Foothills Midwifery & The Birth Cottage. A proud northwest native, Madison lives in Buckley with her husband and their two children. When she’s not at the office, you’ll likely find her homeschooling her kids or shuttling them to various activities.
