Welcome to Pacific Midwifery, Menopause & Women’s Health. We are four (4) Certified Nurse Midwives/Nurse Practitioners in private practice providing full-scope women’s health care.  As members of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) we provide healthcare “with women, for a lifetime,” including annual exams and pap tests, family planning, infertility, care during pregnancy and childbirth, PMS, through and beyond menopause.

Women’s Health

     Our exams include Pap smear, breast and pelvic examination, breast self-exam education, referrals for mammography and laboratory studies as needed, and general wellness counseling. We can prescribe vitamins & supplements, various contraceptives, antibiotics and other medication or health care products that are needed.  We prescribe oral contraceptive pills, patches and rings, insert IUDs and fit diaphragms; discuss health benefits, as well as risks and provide individualized explanations and management of all birth control options, including natural family planning. We do basic workups for infertility, teaching regarding optimal fertility awareness and provide referrals as needed, for enhanced conception.

Midwifery

     We advise how to achieve optimal health before and during pregnancy; how to minimize risks, and screen for potential problems. During pregnancy, your health and your baby’s development is of utmost importance to us. We suggest early prenatal care, beginning with a thorough health and family history and basic prenatal education by our nurse. We specialize in personalized, comprehensive, routine prenatal care and delivery. We attend all of our births at Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital and specialize in WATERBIRTH.  Click Midwifery, then Waterbirth and view the video.

Menopause Management

    We include a complete health history, assessment and physical examination, with additional focus and counseling on the symptoms that may develop during this transition time. We can order bone density studies, and other lab tests as appropriate. Conventional HRT, complementary medicines, herbs and bio-identical hormones, or personalized combinations may be recommended.
