Stefanie is a student midwife at Methow Valley Midwifery. She is enrolled in the Direct-Entry Midwifery Program at National College of Midwifery. Stefanie is a Chicago native, and has traveled extensively, but the Methow and Okanogan Valleys hold a special place in her heart after more than 4 years assisting the birthing families here. You’ll most likely meet Stefanie in clinic appointments with Midwife Sarah and can look forward to her care during births and postpartum as well. She also provides placenta encapsulation.

Before entering midwifery school, Stefanie worked as a river guide and ski patrol in New Mexico and the Grand Canyon. She brings a sense of understated calm in all she does and a wealth of knowledge in delivering equitable maternal and child health care. She is committed to ensuring that the person-centric care model is implemented. Stefanie wants families to feel excited and empowered about their birthing journey and experience. When Stefanie is not at a birth, she is caring for her adorable cats and enjoys being “auntie” to the children in her village of friends.
