Access For Midwives & Birth Professionals
Your Clients. Your Care. Our Cottage.
At Primrose Birth Cottage, we believe that exceptional maternity care begins with trusted relationships between families and their chosen midwives. That's why we're excited to offer qualified, independent midwives the opportunity to apply for credentials to utilize our freestanding birth center for their clients.
Located in Chehalis, Washington, Primrose Birth Cottage is Lewis County's first freestanding birth center, providing a welcoming, thoughtfully designed environment for low-risk, out-of-hospital births.
Our goal is simple: to expand birth options for local families while supporting the independent midwives who serve them.
A Beautiful Space for Your Clients' Birth Experiences
We understand that the relationship between a midwife and their client is built on trust, continuity, and personalized care. Primrose Birth Cottage offers independent midwives an opportunity to continue providing that care in a comfortable, professionally maintained birth environment.
Our cottage features amenities designed to support physiologic birth, including:
Water Birth Options: A welcoming space for water immersion during labor and birth.
Freedom of Movement: Room to walk, change positions, and support upright birth.
Personalized Lighting & Sound: Adjustable sensory controls to create a peaceful atmosphere tailored to each family's preferences.
Accessibility: An accessible environment featuring a walk-in, level-entry shower.
Family-Centered Comfort: A warm, private, home-like setting that welcomes families and their chosen support people.
Whether your clients are seeking an alternative to hospital birth or prefer the comfort of a dedicated birth center, Primrose Birth Cottage offers a space where your professional care and their personal preferences can come together.
Credentialing Opportunities for Independent Midwives
Primrose Birth Cottage welcomes inquiries from qualified midwives interested in obtaining credentials to attend births at our facility.
Our credentialing process is intended to help ensure that participating providers meet applicable professional qualifications, licensing requirements, and birth center policies while maintaining appropriate standards for client safety and continuity of care.
Credentialing considerations may include professional licensure, relevant clinical experience, current certifications, liability coverage, emergency preparedness, and familiarity with the cottage's policies and procedures.
Specific requirements, facility-use arrangements, and approval are determined through the credentialing process.
