Parking is available on the street and there is more than one parking garage nearby. If you park in one of the lots there are a few designated spots for this clinic and they (they clinic) ask you to give them your vehicle info when you come in so they know you are parked there. That is probably the only sort of unusual thing about this clinic. Staff is very friendly and professional and everyone here will go out of their way to help you to the best of their ability.

I was pregnant with my first baby this summer, and Dr. Kundacina was brought in the room to assess why baby wasnt descending after hrs of pushing. She never introduced herself, came to my bedside or even asked how I was. In a dimly litroom, I had no idea where she was in relation to my body, and without verbal cue or counting, shoved her entire hand in my vagina mid push during a contraction. I immediately clammed up and she continued to try getting her hand in. Never once asked why I clammed up or began shaking immensely after this, instead told me to "relax your legs and bottom" over and over. There was no emotional support, coaching to help relax, or assess my mental well being after this. That was the first if many violations during a really long, sad labor. Violations to my body continued from many providers, with no apology or care for me as a person. Please don't see this provider if you are wanting compassionate or trauma informed care. I only saw midwife Ariel at this location. I respected her input, until I read my discharge notes. The wording she used was one step away from 1959's calling women hysterical. When I had low milk supply, common with traumatic births, she expressed doubt that it was a hormonal imbalance and in a really patronizing tone, said " you're just too tired and stressed for your body to make milk." When I kept advocating for blood work and my test results came back abnormally low, there was never even a response from her or any sense of validation, or apology for expressing doubt about what I was feeling and knowing to be true (I had tried weeks of power pumping, galactogues, tinctures, rest, pills, etc). Could not recommend providers at this office. One star only because Yelp requires that as a minimum.

When I moved cities halfway through my pregnancy, I struggled to find a reputable home birth provider that would take me as a transfer. Enter Wellspring. I am so grateful I took the leap of faith with Lizz and Elliott. They are down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and really came through for me as a patient when my baby experienced shoulder distocia during my home birth. I had the most beautiful home birth I could hope for (despite the hiccup), and absolutely have them in part to thank for it. In addition to that, their office is lovely & full of plants and toys. My 3 year old loved going to "the baby store" with me and playing with all their fun toys before listening to baby's heartbeat. Finally, they were very sympathetic to my challenging financial situation & were flexible with my payment plan. TL;DR : Yes, I recommend these great midwives.

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.

Susan was my midwife and I was fortunate enough that she…read moretook me under her care a few weeks before my due date, not without charging me the full amount of course. I had just turned 20 and my husband had just been discharged from the army and we had just moved to Washington. I was traveling from Bellevue so expected at least a 45 minute trip to the birthing center when I did go into labor. My mother called Susan the day before to tell her I had a family history of very fast labors and that I was showing signs of early labor. When we left Bellevue that night , my mom called to let her know we were heading to The Birthing Inn. Susan let us know she was out to dinner with her family but would meet us there. Well we got there and the place was dark and I proceeded to labor in the car hoping I didn't give birth before she arrived. She finally showed up after 25 minutes and set up a room for me, not the room I chose even though there were no other women there. I had agreed to having a single student present and there were at least 3 strangers I'd never met coming in and out and I was very upset about that. I felt she took all my money and used me for all her students to gain experience. After I gave birth, I felt great. I remember sitting on the edge of the birthing tub when Susan said that the placenta needed to be delivered right away and that I was bleeding too much. She then pulled my placenta out of my body...I felt it tear out of me and instantly felt a gush of blood and was extremely weak. Barely after placing my baby on my chest to nurse she was bringing up controversial things that my husband and I had not yet agreed on, asking us if we had come to an agreement, which was none of her business and caused me a lot of distress. She was still concerned about my bleeding and told me that if It didn't stop that she was going to have me transferred to a hospital. After 6 hours she was rushing me out of there and told me if I wasn't able to get up and walk out of there then she was calling an ambulance. She was gone before I left. I remember hobbling out of the room and having to sit down multiple times to avoid passing out. I felt so stressed that she would send me to the hospital and separate me from my baby. A sad difference from when I gave birth to my second child and was wheeled out in a wheelchair and given so much support and compassion. My birth felt like a rushed inconvenience.. like she was just trying to get back to her family and she had no respect for me or my birthing experience.

I have taken her infant massage class, had an in house coaching (baby proofing) and have used her online coaching (lifesaver for a family on the go). Orly and I took her infant massage class. I learned about baby wearing, bonding and infant massage just to name a few things. This technique helped me bond with Orly - we created a nightly routine that involved 20 minutes of massage. It helped her become aware of her body at such a young age and started us on a wonderful wind down routine. I have used different strokes when she was sick, teething, after shots and many other applications. I was very nervous that once Orly started moving that my house would look like a toddlers paradise. Rachel came over and we went through each room talking about the safety issues and what we could do to maintain our space and let Orly have space in it. I feel very confident that Orly is welcome and a part of my home. She is safe and have lots of learning opportunities (barstools, fish tank, and having safe kitchen tools in places she can access. I received some feedback about sleep and naps that left me feeling unsupported. I immediately knew that my intuition was telling me that Orly needed something different than was suggested. I signed up for coaching with Rachel. She listened and gave me gentle hints that aligned with the kind of parent I want to be. Overall Rachel has helped give me the confidence and tools to be the parent I want to be. I can't thank her enough.
