I am very excited to be launching my own private midwife practice to serve Spokane and outlining areas. I have been a midwife here in Spokane for many years with different practices and in different capacities, birth center, small practice and locum work. 

I am dedicated to a midwifery education and practice that both seeks to understand each individual as unique and to respectfully and holistically support these clients with the care they desire. Our role, as midwives, lies in helping clients navigate choices about their own health through a respectful and inclusive collaboration and ultimately supporting them at every decision within the scope of our practice. 

I have chosen the name for my practice, Full Circle Midwifery, based off the desire to give individual-centered care by providing local referrals and resources from the community to create a “Circle Of Care” for each family that goes beyond their pregnancy and birth to support their unique needs. Resources will include services from myself and other local referrals within the community such as childbirth/breastfeeding classes, prenatal massage, acupuncture, life coaching, nutrition, women’s health and much more. I am currently finishing up the one year program towards a License in Massage Therapy which I hope will become an added skill to enhance my midwifery services. 

I have been married for 24 years to my high school sweetheart. We have traveled and lived in many different areas of the country from the east coast, the big Island of Hawaii and Alaska. We love to sail, camp, hike, x-country ski, as well as stay in for pizza nights, football games and movies with the family.

My family and I love Spokane and the Inland Northwest. My first daughter was born at sacred heart with a CNM. My second child was a water birth at a local birth center, and I had a wonderful home birth for my third. Those three experiences are what paved my path and love of midwifery because of the amazing and quality care I received during my pregnancies and birth.

I started out as a doula for Catholic Charities with their Teen Mom program. This then led me to teaching childbirth classes in Spokane for many years. I now have been practicing since 2016 and plan to continue to support the community which I love.

God first planted the dream of becoming a midwife in my heart while I was growing up in Uganda. During a friend's labor in our village, I witnessed firsthand the incredible value of compassionate support during pregnancy and birth. This experience ignited a deep passion for midwifery, especially as I became aware of the scarcity of quality care in many low-resource settings and the powerful impact midwives can have on families’ lives.

I pursued this calling and graduated from Mercy In Action College of Midwifery. During my clinical training, I had the privilege of learning from Certified Professional Midwives and Certified Nurse Midwives in both Texas and Kansas. I practiced as a CPM in Kansas until I met my husband, Nathanael, and moved to Washington in 2024.

I am thrilled to join the Full Circle team and serve the Spokane community. It is truly an honor to walk alongside families during such a transformative time in their lives. I believe that when families feel empowered, informed, and supported—while receiving the highest quality of care—we’ve done our job well.

Outside of midwifery, I love spending quality time with family and friends, often over a cup of tea. I also enjoy walking and reading with my husband and crocheting baby hats. We’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of our first baby and couldn’t be more excited!

Hi! I’m Andrea, I’m a birth doula, educator and breastfeeding specialist and have spent the last decade supporting families in the Inland Northwest. I’m passionate about helping families redefine how they think about labor, birth and the postpartum period. I’m a student at MCU, with additional certifications in Birth Education, Infant feeding, Neonatal Resuscitation, Breech and Twins, and Perinatal Mental Health. When I’m not teaching or working with families, I’m home chasing my own seven kids, Great Dane, or wrangling chickens.
