A fantastic day of skills and drills with this awesome group!

Heartfelt thank you to Methow Valley Midwifery for bringing Midwives Untethered to our birth center. We had the opportunity to host multiple midwives, midwifery students, birth assistants, doulas, and EMTs from LifeLine Ambulance, Inc. in this collaborative training.

More than just a class, this was an amazing opportunity to bring a multidisciplinary team together for sharing, laughing, debriefing, and being grounded in our healing and learning.

2025 Practice Statistics

Started the year welcoming the 6th baby for a dear repeat client family at the birth center and ended the year helping a determined late transfer to care family welcome their 1st baby.

—Helped several families welcome their 4th baby with me including a dear family who I cared for from their 1st prenatal with their first baby to their last postpartum visit with their last (4th) baby. It feels incredibly special to have been the midwife for their whole journey.

I have so much love and gratitude in my heart for the families who I have the privilege to care for and I think of all of you often. When I drive in neighborhoods or see you in the grocery store or at community events I occasionally tear up thinking about how lucky I am to do this work that I love. I am cheering all of you on as you do the important work of raising the next generation! Here is to an amazing 2026! 🎆🎆🎆

Special shout out to Stefanie and Hadassa for helping make it all work! 🙌

Exciting news! They are looking for toddler sized hangers if anyone has any extra.

We’re expecting… the Baby Item Room to make its big return! 💚
Our amazing volunteers have kept things going with a mobile version each month, but soon this much loved space will be back and better than ever.
As we nest and prepare, we’re looking for toddler hangers (10-12")! If you have a few to spare, please bring them by Room One. Every little bit helps!

Enjoying a little off call time in Virginia visiting my son Ridge Farm observing different types of mamas, babies and births…all I can say is I am glad we don’t have to lick our babies clean. 😂🤪 Here is some highland cow spam to brighten your day!

There’s something so special about birth at home. It’s peaceful, personal, and full of love. I’ve had the honor of walking alongside so many strong, beautiful women as they welcome their babies into the world right in the comfort of their home.

Today we celebrate the families who choose this path and the midwives around the world who walk it with them.

“Welcome to motherhood” by Jessica Urlichs

“When I entered motherhood
I walked through a little door
This is Motherhood it read
Everyone sat there in stripey tops
Exchanging pleasantries
Things scattered all over the floor
Bags overflowing
Nervous smiles
Connected by motherhood
Disconnected by unspoken truths
Then someone said
“I love being a Mum, but this is also really hard”
Then suddenly I didn’t feel alone anymore.
