The cost of a midwife in Ridgefield, WA can be influenced by several factors:

  • Type of Midwife

    Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who work in hospital settings may have different pricing than Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) who attend home births or birth center deliveries.

  • Birth Setting

    Hospital births with a midwife typically cost less out-of-pocket when covered by insurance, while home births and birth center deliveries may have different fee structures.

  • Scope of Services

    Many midwives offer comprehensive packages that include prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care, which can affect the overall cost.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Washington Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care in Ridgefield, including prenatal, birth, and postpartum services, as required for Medicaid programs nationwide. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives attending home or birth-center deliveries depends on the plan and does not apply to every Washington member. The local market is modest, with four midwives listed within 60 miles of Ridgefield. For private insurance, confirm midwife benefits directly with the insurer.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Midwives with extensive experience, additional certifications, or specializations such as VBAC support or water birth may charge higher rates.

  • Geographic Location

    Midwifery costs can vary based on the cost of living and demand for midwifery services in your specific area.

When considering hiring a midwife in Ridgefield, WA, it's advisable to research and interview several midwives to find one who aligns with your birth plan, preferences, and budget. During consultations, you can discuss their specific services, insurance acceptance, and pricing structure to ensure you have a clear understanding of what is included and the associated costs.

Hi, I’m Chantel—a birth doula, mama of two little ones, and someone who truly believes this season of life deserves to be held with care, humor, and a whole lot of heart. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me chasing my babies around, dancing in the kitchen, getting outside in nature, or dreaming up creative projects. I have a background in yoga and movement, which deeply shapes how I support birth—tuning into the body, finding rhythm, and creating a sense of calm and connection in the midst of it all. I came into this work because I’m passionate about helping families feel supported, seen, and confident as they step into parenthood. Birth is powerful and unpredictable, and I’m here to be a steady, grounding presence through it—offering hands-on support, encouragement, and guidance while honoring your unique path. My hope is that you feel safe to be fully yourself in this experience, and that you walk away feeling not just supported, but truly cared for.

Chantel's services were the perfect blend of professionalism and personable care. As new parents with an array of mixed emotions, we immediately felt a sense of trust and reliability upon our first meeting. Chantel provided effective communication, resourceful information, personal experience and evidence-based knowledge that allowed us to make informed decisions while she support our personal choices. I cannot imagine ensuring my 72-hour labor without her grounding and nurturing presence. Chantel was truly a rock throughout my pregnancy, labor and postpartum experience!

As a holistic birth and postpartum doula, I offer grounded, intuitive support, empowering and nurturing new and growing families through the transformative portal of birth. My approach to care is informed by my deep studies of physiologic birth, herbalism and a decade working in childcare, the arts, journalism and food and retail. In our work together, we will be tuning to the cues from the body and centering nourishment, emotional wellbeing and connection to our natural rhythms. Together we'll take each moment as it arrives, looking to make the most out of all the tools available to help you move through each threshold in the way that is most true to your inner knowing. Rooted in the wisdom of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, the postpartum care I offer provides deep nourishment and helps to cultivate warmth, ease and restorative rest and connection. My hope is that this support helps to nourish families and communities so that we might reclaim the ceremony of birth in all of its forms and create a new collective future of autonomy, connection and wholeness. When not with families, you can find me likely making something with my hands, either in the garden, knitting, at home in my kitchen, or crafting some herbal concoction. I treasure my time spent near water, at the river, or on the coast in Northern California or my native New England.

Emma brings a kind and warm presence to her work as a doula. Our family loved having her care for us all during our postpartum period. She kept me well stocked with herbal teas, sitz baths, and dropped by nourishing food. She was able to help wherever we needed and often without me even having to ask- like doing laundry and folding my, and my kids clothes/finding where they all go without me saying anything (I found this truly magical!). Emma was also so great with my older kiddo (3) , our new baby, and our dog. She always came to our home prepared with rituals to nourish and ground us. Thank you Emma! <3

Hello! Supporting families through the birth year as a birth and postpartum doula brings me immense joy. As a dear friend of mine said, "Helping people move through huge life transitions is where it's at." I bring non-judgmental, compassionate, inclusive, evidence-based care to you and your family, however "family" looks for you. My training includes DONA-approved workshops for birth and postpartum doulas, lactation support, newborn care, pregnancy loss, abortion support, and prenatal/postpartum yoga. When not involved in birth work, I love to bake, play with my puppy, and read mysteries.

We are so grateful for Zoe’s loving support this past year as our doula. Zoe worked with us as a postpartum doula after our son Emmett was born. Her support was intuitive and natural, easily fitting in to our lives and jumping in to support in all the right ways. She was incredibly helpful both in practical ways helping us get back on track with our daily routine, but also was a wealth of information about breastfeeding, newborn phases and milestones, and labor recovery. Zoe shared helpful resources related to where we were at in the postpartum and newborn journey. She also made space to help us process and talk about things like our birth story, postpartum anxiety, and really anything else on our minds… which was a lot. We appreciate the calm and loving connection and support for our whole family.
