Friends,
There are many unwanted illnesses out there right now. Pertussis (whooping cough) is still circulating in the greater Palouse region. If you have sick little ones, please keep them home when you come in for a visit. If you are sick, please reach out and we will happily reschedule you. Let's do our best keep the moms, babies, and midwives well!

Celebrating Year 10!

In December 2017 our baby business took a faith and financial leap and purchased the birth center in Pullman! We spent many, many hours pouring our hard work, vision and love into the little white house on Grand. Our intention was to create a grounded space of beauty and peace for families to welcome new babies into the world.

The first baby was born at the Pullman birth center on May 9, 2018. Since then we have welcomed a total of 246 babies born at the Pullman Nest!

Last December we became accredited with the American Association of Birth Centers. This is the Gold Stamp for birth centers. We are the 2nd birth center in Idaho to be accredited and the 18th in Washington!

Celebrate with us by posting a photo or story of your birth center birth or babies below, and enter to win an herbal soak experience in this glorious bathtub!

Holiday party at The Pie Safe! This group of women works so hard throughout the year to support families on The Palouse! It was lovely to take a night out to connect and be served the most amazing food!

She is strong.
She is capable.
She is fierce.
She is a mother.
Honor her journey.

The moment after we placed that sweet babe on her chest.

Joy. Simply joy.

Celebrating Year 10!

During the summer of 2016 KO moved to the Palouse area! We met for coffee- she was clearly very wise and intelligent. She had finished her bachelors at Stanford, her Naturopathic degree and midwifery training at Bastyr. We decided she would assist me at births for awhile and see if we were a good fit for a potential partnership. Her first birth with me was in the middle of nowhere, there were guns all over the walls and the husband was in the midst of a mental crisis. The mom was very lovely and had a beautiful birth. She later told me that she thought- “so this is rural midwifery”. In the months that followed we developed a beautiful labor dance together- we both felt so grateful for the gift this was. In the Spring we launched our integrated practice!

In celebration, you can win a free hour of body work with KO! Enter by commenting with a story about KO, an appreciation or a way she has blessed you or someone you know!

Last visit with this little one. Her middle name is Vevina (ViviAnne+Tina)! Her mom travels 4 hours to see us! That may be a record distance. She is the 5th girl in her family, we have had the absolute pleasure of attending 4 of their births❤️

It is interesting this topic is catching public attention!

Decades of research have shown that round-the-clock fetal monitoring does not reliably predict fetal distress, and experts say it leads to many unnecessary surgeries. But it’s still used in nearly every birth in the U.S. because of business and legal concerns, a New York Times investigation found. https://nyti.ms/3WF7yLx
