How it started → how it’s going 🥰
2021 → 2026

First: an incredible client… the absolute baddie who birthed her 11lb VBAC baby at home in the water.

Then: a Foothills birth assistant, supporting other families through their own powerful births.

Now: a beautiful bride. 💍

I had the honor of first serving Alexis as her midwife, then later working alongside her as part of our Foothills birth team, and just a couple weeks ago I got to celebrate her by photographing her wedding. What a full-circle moment.

Congratulations to Alexis and her new husband. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, partnership, and friendship. 🤍

Silhouette photos are coming back this week for all current clients! ✨

Such a beautiful and simple way to capture the beauty of pregnancy!

Now - what week do you think is the best week to get this picture?

Kids are always going to be welcome to come along to prenatal and postpartum visits!

Honestly, when they come, our job gets a lot easier. They always insist on doing the fundal height measurement, listening to the baby, and ask all the important questions… so it’s basically like having extra assistants on staff 😅

But truly, I love that the littles get to be part of this experience too. Sometimes they even leave us the sweetest drawings, like this one. Yael’s perfectly captured bun and my long wavy hair truly made our day!

Happy International Women’s Day 💛

I’ve had the incredible honor of walking alongside this amazing family through all five of their pregnancies. Yesterday we had our final postpartum visit after welcoming their newest baby… a surprise little girl. Her joy made us all tear up - especially her eldest daughter!

It feels meaningful to share these photos today, on International Women's Day. Watching women grow their families, trust their bodies, and bring their babies into the world is one of the greatest privileges of my work.

Today I’m celebrating the strength, resilience, and power of women everywhere. 💛

Placenta encapsulation is one of those things that sounds unusual… until you learn how incredible it is.

At Foothills Midwifery, we have been encapsulating placentas since 2012, and it continues to be one of our favorite ways to support families after birth. We are proud to be one of the first and longest-running placenta encapsulation services in the Puget Sound region.

Your placenta worked hard for nine months. After birth, many families choose to honor that work by having it carefully prepared and encapsulated into easy to take capsules.

People choose placenta encapsulation for many reasons, including:
✨ Supporting postpartum recovery
✨ Helping replenish iron levels
✨ Supporting mood and energy

Good news:
You do not have to be a Foothills Midwifery client to use our encapsulation services.

If you are curious or want to learn more, just reach out to us anytime. We are happy to answer questions and walk you through the process.

Welcome, baby Link!

Link joins three older brothers and is the third baby in this sweet family that I have had the honor of midwifing. He was born on National Pokémon Day, which feels especially meaningful for them. His name is a tribute to his uncle, who loved Pokémon.

It is amazing how these little connections come together in such special ways.

💜💙💙💙

Four times. Yesterday marked our final visit together after walking alongside this beautiful family through four births.

Saying goodbye never gets easier. At the same time, it feels incredible to be at this stage in my career where families are welcoming baby number four and beyond with me still by their side.

I attended my very first birth in 1999 while shadowing at Valley Medical Center. Soon after, I had my own baby, and in 2005 I officially began my midwifery journey at Seattle Midwifery School. Now, some of the babies whose births I attended back then are returning to me as they begin growing families of their own.

It is something deeply sacred being invited into generations of birth stories!

We were gifted with a beautiful daytime birth! I have had the honor of walking alongside this incredible family through four births. We have journeyed together from an apartment birth to a home birth, and there was even a moment when we weren’t sure they would still be here before this sweet baby arrived, with most of the house already packed in preparation for a move.

I am so grateful that everything aligned and that I get to carry these memories with me forever 🥰🕊

Some of you know that for the past two years I have been in Physician Assistant/Associate school. During that time, I have primarily been caring for returning Foothills Midwifery clients. It has been such a meaningful season. There is something incredibly intimate and special about continuing to walk alongside families with whom we have built deep relationships and shared history.

I have also continued to welcome students into the practice, and I am thrilled to share that Foothills Midwifery is now an official preceptor site for the University of Washington Nurse Midwifery program. We will be welcoming an amazing student next month!

It should go without saying that I really love education, I love learning and I love teaching. I love having students so that I can continue to learn from them and I love seeing a student bloom into a provider, it's incredibly rewarding.

I'll be done with PA school this coming August/September and plan to continue midwifery alongside practicing as a Physician Associate.
