Brandy Stuart LM, CPM, BSM

Brandy was born and raised in Bremerton, Washington where she is currently raising her family. She is a typical Pacific Northwest local and loves saltwater, evergreen trees, rain, mountains, and soaking up the occasional ray of Washington sunshine. Most of her time is spent attending clinic and births, being a sports mom, going on outdoor adventures, enjoying live music, cooking delicious food, and chasing after her energetic kids.

She started attending birth in 2002 as a doula and made birth work her full time career in 2012 working as a doula, birth assistant, providing placenta encapsulation services, and facilitating pregnancy and birth workshops. She attended Midwives College of Utah while apprenticing with multiple midwifery practices in the local community for clinical studies. She graduated magna cum laude in 2019 and has been practicing locally since 2020. She has experience serving hundreds of birthing families in all types of settings with special interests in physiologic birth, water birth, newborn care, holistic postpartum healing, herbalism, working with young parents and teens, promoting inclusivity and equity, and improving access to the Midwifery Model of Care to undeserved populations.

Her philosophy of care is that pregnancy and birth are healthy, normal, physiological processes. People have been giving birth since the beginning of humanity, proving the innate ability that all humans possess, which enables them to bring forth life into this world. Pregnancy and birth are transformative experiences that can leave a lasting impression on a person's body, mind, and spirit. The intensity of these transformations has the ability to affect the entire family. As a midwife, she believes in the honor of: holding space for families along this journey, providing unbiased evidence to enable informed choices, lending emotional support, and using my clinical experience to ensure the best possible outcomes. Trust is the cornerstone of the relationship between parent and midwife, and Brandy intends to nurture this trust along the path of the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. She has traditional views and practices surrounding birth and midwifery care, balanced by modern clinical knowledge and skills
