Welcome to Bloom—a place for new and expecting parents to gain knowledge, connect with local family-centered birth resources and build community. Whether you are looking for natural childbirth education classes, trying to find a midwife or are a first-time father wondering “What is natural childbirth, anyway!” this site brings together the information and resources that will help you make informed choices about the birth of your sweet baby.
What's Going on at Bloom
It has been almost a year since Bloom was first conceived and our list of resources is still growing. I have had the opportunity to meet many of the wonderful midwives, doulas and childbirth educators in our area and will continue to seek them out for interviews on the Bloom Blog. In the coming months I plan to meet with Catherine Shields, one of the Certified Nurse Midwives at the Deaconess Women's Clinic, to find out more about the work they do with women and families in our community. I look forward to sharing her insights with you on the blog and welcome your suggestions for topics you'd like to see in future articles. Please email Tine Reese at info@bloomspokane.com with your ideas!
