Niki and Brandy delivered both of our children, and Katlyn our second. Our first at Tacoma's Birthing Inn and the other at home. We knew with Niki and her team, we were in excellent hands to have our second at home. Niki and her team are professional, yet very personable. They offer evidence and experience based advice, while also respecting your wishes to make the choices best for your family. I really appreciated the calmness about these wonderful women and their unconditional encouragement. They were such an integral part of our village for the pregnancy and postpartum recovery. I wish every woman (and family) had a birthing and postpartum team in their corner like Niki, Brandy, and Katlyn. If they did, families would journey through pregnancy and transition into families much easier with confidence and support. They truly are the Dream Team!
I need to find a midwife! Any recommendations? I have blue cross/blue shield. I've had 2 home births already, and really don't want to go to the hospital! I need some flexibility as my appointments really need to be after 3 or on weekends.

Laura Kuhs is in Port Orchard and her number is 302.722.7002. Niki Coraggio is in Gig harbor and her number is 253.632.6556. Terra Sowinski is in Belfair and her number is 360.275.5951 Katrina Neff is in Gig Harbor and her number is 253.861.9748 Nancy Spencer is out of Kitsap but she comes to Gig Harbor for clinic once a week to see locals. Her number is 253.862.6533 There are several others in the area. There's no one perfect/best midwife. They vary in which insurances they accept, hours they see women, and personality. Best to you and your coming blessing!
I'd like to create a referral list of home birth midwives who serve the Olympia area. If you are one of those midwives, or you know a midwife who does, would you please send me names, office location and contact info? Thanks!

I will come to Olympia for home or birth center births but it is not where I usually practice; most of my clients are in kitsap, gig harbor, or Tacoma. My office is about a 45 minute drive from Olympia. Phone number: 253-632-6556 11505 Burnham Dr NW Gig Harbor WA 98335
