At Source Yoga, we are delighted to refer the following businesses-
The Birthing Inn, Tacoma’s only free-standing (not associated with a hospital) birth center, opened in 1999. Dr. Elizabeth Stanford and Kim Horvath CNM sought to provide women an alternative to hospital deliveries and a supportive environment that empowered women to take charge of their healthcare. It has helped families welcome new babies in an intimate, gentle, and cozy surrounding. They offer childbirth classes, support groups, and lactation support. www.thebirthinginn.com
Patti Ramos is a very well respected and admired Birth Doula, innovative Childbirth educator, and photographer. She offersone of the most highly effective and powerful birthing classes in the Tacoma area. Patti’s new education center recently opened and is now offering a variety of fantastic classes, workshops and support groups.
Oona Copperhill is an award-winning photojournalist and wedding photographer who has also turned her talents to documenting babies and families. Oona continues to delight in photographing weddings and families and considers it an honor to be invited into the lives of her clients to witness and preserve what is special to each. She believes it’s the presence of love that makes for the greatest and most touching photos – and an understanding of light that makes them possible.
Terra Organics delivers the best selection of fresh, seasonal produce in the Northwest. Home delivery and wholesale service in King, Pierce and Thurston Counties. By working directly with local producers, Terra Organics has been able to offer an excellent variety of fruits and vegetables, always of the highest quality. In exchange, farmers in the region are given better-than-wholesale prices and consistent demand from a buyer that understands the needs of family farms. Dan and Kim purchased an old dairy farm south of the town of Orting in 2009. Tahoma Farms began operations in April and the majority of the food now distributed through Terra Organics comes from the farm. The Hulse’s passion for healthy eating and organic farming fuels their drive to provide customers with good food from healthy farms.
Dawn Wadleigh,
Licensed Midwife, Certified Professional Midwife
Firstlight Midwifery, located in beautiful Tacoma WA, has been serving women of the childbearing community since January 2003. I offer comprehensive maternity care, which includes: pre-pregnancy consultations; pregnancy confirmation; prenatal care; labor and delivery at your home or The Birthing Inn (Tacoma’s only freestanding birth center); breastfeeding support; and a full 6 weeks of postpartum care.
“I practice based on the philosophy that pregnancy and childbirth are normal, natural, and powerful life changing events that work best with as little intervention as possible. I am dedicated to building respectful relationships with my clients and strive to provide care that attends to the body, mind, and spirit. It is my goal to ensure that my midwifery care is safe and satisfying for all involved.”
