Birthroot Midwives

New Sign at 1600 Broadway

Our Story.....

Ann Tive, licensed midwife and founder of Birthroot Midwifery Service, has been blessed to serve the birthing community in Bellingham and the surrounding area for more than two decades. In 2007 Jessie Bradley began working with Ann, first as an apprentice and student midwife and now as a licensed midwife and practice partner. Ann and Jessie have collectively attended more than 1300 births throughout Whatcom and Skagit counties.

Two years ago, Ann and Jessie began planning to move Birthroot Midwifery Service (from Ann’s home office) into a larger space in order to provide additional services and more resources for birthing families. Thus, Birthroot Midwives and Birth Center was conceived.

Since finding the perfect location in the fall 2012 at 1600 Broadway, we have been busy designing the birth center of our dreams! Our brand new facility provides deep spacious tubs, walk-in showers, room to move, modern and peaceful aesthetics, and many other amenities to support a safe, comfortable, and natural birth. 

We anticipate a Spring 2014 due date for Birthroot Midwives and Birth Center! Check back often for news of our progress and details of services we will offer to our community.
