Welcome Becky Schayes to our team of midwives!

Becky Schayes, CNM

Becky Schayes is a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) passionate about providing women access to midwifery care for all of their health care needs, beyond pregnancy and birth. This means office visits with plenty of time to discuss and review options, a warm and open environment where women feel safe and comfortable, a physical space that accommodates medical procedures while never feeling cold or sterile, and continuity of care that fosters connection between the woman and her healthcare provider. 

As a CNM and ARNP she has the privilege of caring for women from adolescence through menopause, providing services from family planning to primary care. Here is a list of some of the services Becky will bring to Birthroot Midwives and Birth Center:

• Well-woman care: Annual exams, Pap, and health screenings. 
• Family planning: Contraceptive counseling and access to all forms of birth control including Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs). 
• Preconception care: Counseling and management of health concerns prior to pregnancy including fertility awareness, readiness for pregnancy, and genetic risks.
• Primary care: Evaluation and management of health concerns such as common cold, urinary tract infections, and thyroid disorders.
• Reproductive Health: Evaluation of menstrual irregularities, screening and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, and management of common vaginal infections.
• Perimenopausal and postmenopausal care: Counseling regarding effects of menopause on all aspects of health and management of common discomforts. 

As a provider at Birthroot Midwives and Birth Center Becky will offer women a place to get all of their health care needs met. She is excited to be working along side the Birthroot Midwives to provide respectful and quality care to the women of Bellingham and Whatcom County.
