All of the instructors are kind and supportive and even though our daughter is only 5 she has loved performing in the bi-annual performances at the Highline Performing Arts Center. They do a holiday season performance and another performance in June. It has been so fun to watch our daughter gain confidence in ballet (she wants to be a ballerina when she grows up) and learn a routine and perform it on a large stage in front of a huge crowd. We love Ms. Marinucci as she's been the primary teacher of the classes we've been in but this spring our daughter wanted to also try out hip hop class in addition to ballet/jazz. They offer the first class for free so you can see if your child likes it, and what I really appreciated is this also extended to currently enrolled families wanting to try another type of class in addition to what they were already doing. I also need to acknowledge Ms. Alida who works the front desk most nights. This woman is a true rock star. She knows everybody and everything and is so friendly and welcoming and beyond helpful - not only to my dancer, but to her little sister who has to come sit in the lobby and wait with me during classes. Alida is amazing.

Aneke at Mama Bear comes highly recommended by our family. We took her childbirth education class…read morewhich covered pregnancy, birth and post partum. It left us with many life changing "golden nuggets" of information. We also hired Aneke as our doula. She went above and beyond in supporting and empowering me through this process. From education to massage to supporting me at appointments to connecting me with other resources--Aneke's support was invaluable. It also brought so much comfort that Aneke was only a text or phone call away. Aneke also encapsulated my placenta and gave me the most beautiful placenta art. I would love to have Aneke support me through this process again and I recommend her to any expecting mother and family. Aneke is a wealth of information and welcomes you with the most open and loving arms.

We had an incredible experience with Wellspring Midwifery. I had recently had a missed miscarriage…read morewhen I came into their care with my second pregnancy. The midwifery clinic I was previously with for the first pregnancy , told me I could no longer work with them and did not give a reason. Valley medical midwives said they would not work with me because I am overweight and of advanced maternal age. The other midwives clinics in the area said they were full for my due date. Swedish midwives did not take my insurance. When I went to the obgyn, she made me feel like I was wasting her time and I felt rushed during a very tender time. I felt discouraged and decided to widen how far I was willing to travel for care. I reached out to Wellspring Midwifery, and they promptly set up a zoom call where I asked tons of questions, we discussed our experience and they shared info about their practice. I felt so relieved to find them during such a hard time, filled with fear and anxiety. Our first appointment was over an hour and Lizz made me feel so comfortable and heard. It was amazing, they even did Saturday appointments so we didn't have to miss work and the traffic was much better. I met Elliot a few appointments later and she was equally awesome to Lizz! Throughout the process, I had monthly appointments and additionally was able to call for questions or write them in the online portal and they would promptly respond. Later in my pregnancy, we made the informed decision that we would prefer to transfer my care to a hospital so that I could access an epidural during labor and knowing which hospital we were going to. Lizz and Elliot were supportive of this decision and helped with the transition of paperwork. They allowed me to stay on for postpartum care. I even called them during my labor when I was trying to make a decision. It was awesome to have the support of their postpartum care because my obgyn only scheduled me for 1 appointment at 8 weeks postpartum. Lizz and La-Kiesha (their midwifery student who joined many of my appointments) came into my home 2 days after my baby was born and did a visit where we talked about the baby, my husband and myself and did some checks on the baby and me. They also gave me breastfeeding support. I had multiple follow ups in office during the first 6 weeks postpartum. It was so helpful to get regular support throughout that period of time. I am forever grateful for my experience with Wellspring Midwifery and I highly recommend them for your prenatal and postpartum care.

I'm one day shy of my son's first birthday and as I reflect on my pregnancy and birth and…read morepostpartum experience, the role that Lizz and Elliott played continues to be profoundly instrumental in my overwhelmingly positive perinatal journey. I'm a practicing birth doula who met Lizz and Elliott years ago in a professional setting, and knew after watching them first hand that they were the midwives I wanted when it was my turn. They held me through the great mystery of pregnancy and when we learned that my baby was breech and my plan for a homebirth was no longer in the cards, Lizz and Elliott offered me the support I deeply needed to feel confident and at peace moving forward with a sacred planned cesarean birth. I'll never forget our sweet third trimester visits looking at my son on ultrasound and marveling that he loved being head up. This tone of celebration and acceptance of how things were unfolding and my informed decision to belly birth absolutely led to me having an empowered birth experience, free of trauma and regret, full of the oxytocin that good midwifery care facilitates. I continued my follow-up support with them once I returned home from the hospital, something that was important to me when I decided to work with community midwives. I can confidently say that I achieved my goal for my birth which was that no matter how things might unfold I wanted to feel held and cared for medically, emotionally and spiritually by my team. Sharing some sweet film photos that my doula snapped during a prenatal visit with Lizz!
