“When we were planning to start our family, we looked at numerous options for prenatal and birthing of our child. We chose the Puget Sound Birth Center,and had an amazing experience with them! My appointments were made at times that were convenient for me while I was still working, and my husband was able to attend as well. The facility was beautiful with a very homelike and comforting atmosphere and decor. My care team (Heather and Jessica) were very thorough, and made sure that all my needs were met and questions answered. The day of our birth was incredible; all went smoothly and I felt very comfortable, knowing that I was being monitored closely and each situation was handled so well. When are family grows and we have our second child I will return to PSBC!”
“I’ve been through 2 very different pregnancies and births with the amazing midwives at PSBC and I can’t imagine having my future children with anyone else. The women here truly care about you, your mental health and your baby. They are professional while also very warm and welcoming. I have formed a great relationship with all 3 of the midwives at PSBC - when I was struggling in a postpartum appointment after my daughter’s birth and told them that I hadn’t eaten much that day, Val immediately asked if I wanted to eat and they warmed up some Thai food for me that was left from their staff lunch while we had our appointment! Those are the kinds of things that show these women really are here for you however they possibly can be, even if that’s going outside their job description. My son’s birth ended with a transfer to the hospital and it was such a smooth process - our student midwife Michelle even stayed with us in the hospital until my son was born, which I really appreciated so much! When more babies are in our near future, we will for sure be coming back to PSBC. I would recommend to anyone looking for more personal care during their pregnancy and are striving for a healthy, natural childbirth experience.”

“Having a water birth was the best thing ever. I loved laboring in the tub with my first two children so I knew that being in water would be so soothing during labor and could only imagine how soothing it would be while pushing. It truly was such a calming and incredible experience!!! “

“No question ever got left unanswered and we were always informed of decisions to make with plenty of time to feel comfortable picking the choice that felt right for us.”

“As I write this note to you, with my beautiful 5-month-old boy staring up at me, I am so grateful for my family's experience when he came into the world. My labor was quick (very quick!) and I delivered him only minutes after arriving at the birth center, over 3 weeks before his due date. Every part of the experience - from the relaxed, helpful prenatal visits, to the positive, happy birth environment - was perfect.”

“I wanted to express my gratitude to the midwives who helped me through my journey in this pregnancy. With every visit I felt cared for via the information provided and the conversations we would have. During my labor I had the privilege of being attended by Kaja and Jamie and although it went quite fast they were such great support for me. They helped make that moment special for me with their calm presence, and wise guidance. Thank you again!”
—Vima, Nef, and Baby Elyanna
“I would just like to take a moment to say how truly amazing this woman (Heather) is. In the span of a single year, she helped me bring two amazing babies into our lives.”

“…my watery eyes met Jessica’s and she grabbed my hand and put it on Isla’s head. I felt my daughter coming into this world… Two pushes later and Isla’s head was born…Isla’s umbilical cord was wrapped in a figure 8 around her neck and right arm. Jessica unraveled the cord, I grabbed Isla’s armpits and pulled her out of me and onto my chest. Shane’s hands met mine when Isla reached my chest and we both held her warm, wet body together; exhausted, relieved and amazed…”
