I’m proud to be represented in this article, The Case for Midwives in the Sunday, March 15 Seattle Times. The author and photographer depicted birth and midwives with great sensitivity, offering a very lovely and respectful view of the pregnant and birthing women represented here.

This article is timely in that in light of the effects of coronavirus on the hospitals and medical system, some women, who had previously chosen to birth in hospital, are opting to birth at home, and midwives in the Puget Sound area are rising to the occasion. On our private fb pages, midwives who are willing to take on new clients during this time have added their names to a list so that other midwives can help prospective clients find midwives in their vicinity, who meet the criteria desired by searching families.

While I am no longer associated with RVCC, I maintain my own private practice, Full Moon Midwifery, and offer craniosacral therapy and Ancestral Hands on Healing with each prenatal visit. During this time of social distancing, I am offering on screen visits, which unfortunately preclude bodywork but can still include plenty of time to talk, teach, learn, and listen. We can each sit down with a cup of tea and discuss pregnancy and planning for birth and postpartum. Laboring, birthing, and postpartum also rate bodywork for both mama and baby. Lactation education and support are also part of the care at Full Moon Midwifery. For a full view of services provided at Sacred Good Medicine, please see the home page, which describes and has links to Full Moon Midwifery, Integrated Pregnancy and Postpartum Care, and Integrated Lactation Care.

If you are considering home birth to avoid hospital during the pandemic, please email me to discuss your options. I would love to talk with you and hear what you are looking for. I am also happy to refer you to someone closer to you if you are located in another area.
