Heather Stewart LM, CPM

Birth work has been my passion since my son’s birth in 1997. My midwife modeled a style of care that I bloomed under and desired to replicate for others. My training began the following year as a volunteer doula in the prison system where I lived. In 2006, I had the privilege to volunteer at a charity birth center in Davao Philippines while studying midwifery through the National College of Midwifery and Newlife International School of Midwifery. As I volunteered under the supervision of the tireless Filipina staff midwives, I had the opportunity to experience a high volume of births. The families that I served and grew to love taught me so much about the strength of the birth process and the beauty of each moment of life. After completing my education I remained in the Philippines with my family to participate as a staff midwife with Newlife International School of Midwifery and Mercy Maternity. As the charity clinic served the poorest of the poor in our area with quality out-of-hospital care, I was able to participate in the training of 50+ midwives and interns from all over the world. After spending 8 amazing years in Davao my family and I returned home to serve the Northwest. Since 2014 I have served in homes and birth centers in Snohomish and King County while continuing to train aspiring midwives. I’ve had 2000+ births to shape my desire to offer personalized care to families. My husband and I have made our home in Maple Valley where we enjoy our 5 children and 2 grandbabies with hopefully more to come. In my time off call I enjoy traveling and spending time with family.
