Patricia
Patricia Couch, Wife, Mother, Midwife joined Bella Vie in 2008. She has had the opportunity to learn the art of midwifery from several midwives, midwifery study groups, and through self study for more than a decade. She has been submerged in birth work in Oregon since 1997 and feels that pregnancy and birth are not only incredibly amazing and miraculous, they are also the beautiful and natural. She believes that birth can potentially be one of the most positive and transformational moments in a woman's life. With experiences ranging from homebirth, birth center and hospital birth she has witnessed hundreds of births and has learned a healthy respect and trust in pregnancy, labor, and the birthing process and her goal is to help the people that she works with have an experience that is respectful, safe and empowering. She began practice as a midwife in 2006.
Patricia believes that babies deserve to be born gently. She does her best to ensure that they are born into a loving, warm and peaceful environment in which transitioning into this world and bonding are optimal.
