Micki Persons, Director

I knew from a very young age that I wanted to serve communities of people. I voluntered with my mom and dad at our local red cross while in high school. I graduated from Central Washington University in 1998, with a BS in Community Health Education & Nutrition. I have worked for several non-profit organizations. My passion for service brought me into the "birth world"! I was toying with the idea of going back to school to become a nurse but, something just didn't feel right (going with my gut has never failed me). I witnessed my first unmedicated birth, then my first out of hospital birth in 2000 & I immediately knew that this was the community I was meant to serve. I became a birth assistant in 2002 and I instantly fell in love with helping families bring their newest addition into their lives. In 2004, my oldest child was born and I took a break from being on call. I took time to be a mom and become a Foster Parent.  In 2010, I was ready to come back to the birth community.  I was honored to be asked to join the midwives at Puget Sound Birth Center as a Birth Assistant (2010) and Clinic Director (2013).  I am at home here.  Right where I am supposed to be….serving midwives, student midwives and many, many families.  I am honored to have witnessed more than 350 babies enter this world, hundreds of beautiful families grow.  I am also blessed to be the mother of 3 beautiful children and wife to a fantastic man.
