Midwives that Accept Premera Blue Cross in Washington

Ce has been working with birthing families for over 13 years. Ce believes that everyone should have access to midwifery care and lactation support to help them meet their birthing and infant feeding goals in a way that is tailored to them and their family's needs.

Dr. Bauer came to the Pacific Northwest to attend Bastyr University in 2000, and has happily called the beautiful Northwest home ever since. As a Naturopathic Physician and Midwife, Kim specializes in natural health care for the whole family, for she loves working with patients of all ages, from infanthood to elderhood. Dr. Bauer often says if she lived a century ago, she would have been a country doctor, traveling by horse drawn carriage from home to home. Modern times being what they are, her patients now travel to her instead, but they will still find the same open, kind, and compassionate bedside manner of old. Dr. Bauer is well-known for her clear explanations of treatments, her energetic support of patients as they make healthy changes in their lives, and her ability to meet each patient where they are at on their personal road to wellness. Outside of the doctoring, Dr. Bauer enjoys hiking, gardening, baking, and teaching about medicinal plants, both locally and at Bastyr University in Seattle where she graduated from in 2005.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I am a veteran midwife of 15 years I identify as “hands off” midwife, allowing you and your body to do what they need, only intervening to offer support or help when needed. My team and I carry a wide array of specialized medical equipment and medications for support and safety. However, I focus on wholistic health and prevention, which helps you have the best chance for a smooth birth and the best outcome. -herbal medicine, targeted supplementation and nutrition -relaxed appointments from 45-90 minutes long -optimal health through functional medicine knowledge -body balancing and fetal positioning -breech, VBAC and twin birth I take a limited number of birth clients each month. We do have last minute openings so feel to inquire even if you are late in the game. Especially breech mamas!
