Kate Wild, LM, CPM, MSM

Known for her calm and reassuring presence, Kate is deeply committed to preserving the sanctity of birth, ensuring a gentle transition for babies entering the world.

Kate Wild's journey into the world of reproductive health ignited in 2012 when her son was born at home in Kingston, WA, under the care of a midwife. This experience illuminated the stark contrast between midwifery-led care and her daughter's hospital birth in 2007, compelling Kate to dedicate herself to community birth care. In 2021, she joyfully supported a family through surrogacy and welcomed a baby girl into the world at the Birthing Inn.

A true Pacific Northwest native, Kate earned a Master of Science in Midwifery from Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA, after studying political science at the University of Washington, Tacoma. She sees midwifery as a powerful intersection of politics and reproductive health, offering a unique platform for informed decision-making in care. Kate's passion lies in supporting client autonomy, empowering parents to make informed, self-directed choices throughout their care journey.

She has completed training in Spinning Babies® techniques, including the Spinning Babies® Foundational Workshop and Resolving Shoulder Dystocia with Spinning Babies®, and integrates this knowledge into her hands-on, intuitive care. Kate is also passionate about physiologic birth, water birth, and trauma-informed support.

When not practicing midwifery, she finds solace in the mountains or by the beach, relishing meals with loved ones, or simply enjoying quiet moments at home with her partner, children, and pets.

Kate primarily serves clients in Tacoma at The Birthing Inn, and also accepts a limited number of select home birth clients as her schedule allows. To reach out to Kate or arrange a Meet & Greet, book a free consult here or reach out via our contact form..
