Gynecological Care
As licensed midwives, gynecological care outside of the childbearing year is something that is included in the licensure. Our midwives at Sky Valley are passionate about women's health and love to continue serving our clients in their years outside of childbearing. Similar to the midwifery model of care, our providers are passionate about holistic wellness and taking a preventative approach to treating any complications that can arise in a woman's health journey.
We accept insurance for gynecological care just as we do midwifery care.
Services Include
Holistic Health Discussions
Our providers are well-versed in holistic women's health and wellness and can provide insight on nutrition based on your phase of life, the use of herbal remedies and supplements, lifestyle recommendations that align with your monthly cycle, and so on.
Lab Work
Our midwives draw labs in-house which get sent off to Quest Labs. Labs can include standard annual lab panels, hormone panels, thyroid panels, and more.
Pap Smears
Our midwives can perform pap smears as a form of preventative women's health management. Similarly to bloodwork, we perform the exam in-house and then utilize Quest Labs to receive results.
Birth Control Prescriptions / IUD Placements
Select midwives in our practice have become certified in IUD placements and have gained prescriptive authority in WA state to prescribe birth control methods. Outside of medication management, our midwives are highly knowledgeable about natural family planning and menstrual cycle tracking and can provide extensive education to families interested in utilizing these forms of birth control management.
At this time, our only location offering this service is our Ellensburg location.
Preconception Education
For clients interested in learning techniques for preparing the body for pregnancy and learning more about how to track their cycles, our midwives offer preconception consultations to arm clients with knowledge about their bodies to enter into pregnancy feeling confident and prepared.
