Central to her practice philosophy is that care should be a partnership between midwife and client. She endeavors to meet each person where they are, and to provide a judgement-free zone. This approach is foundational to developing a plan that provides education, promotes health, and ensures safety, with clear communication as a central focus. Fleur practices with a direct approach, is a great listener, and works to facilitate an experience that supports each unique individual and family. She is delighted to join Quilted Midwives!Married 18 years, Fleur is a proud Mom of an adult son, and a high-school senior daughter. Outside of the office Fleur enjoys being with family.

As a new RN, Jane moved back to her hometown of Spokane to follow love. She worked in the Emergency Department at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center—the hospital where she was born, as the department’s first new grad RN. This trauma nursing background was a diversion from her path to midwifery but has shaped who she is a provider forever: Jane is a calm in a storm. During this time she went back to graduate school, and completed her Doctorate of Nursing Practice in Midwifery. Upon graduation, she joined an out-of-hospital midwifery practice with a Licensed Midwife, and together they shared a practice at a free-standing birth center and offering home-birth midwifery care. She later joined a hospital midwifery practice with her current colleagues and was back again at Sacred Heart caring for her community with a supportive team of midwives and obstetricians. This team is now together at Quilted Health and is working to expand this incredible model of comprehensive midwifery care to the greater Spokane community.&nbsp;Jane is the kind of midwife who strives to personalize your birth experience. She believes your birth is a careful, crucial, intense (though comparatively brief!) time in your life where the atmosphere and support around you can shape the kind of parent you become. This is what shapes our next generation and, in turn, our world. Jane knows each birthing person and birth story deserves sincere respect, unfaltering support, and expert medical care.

I strive to be a beacon of light that shines through even the seemingly darkest of nights, so that each person I encounter may be reminded that they are never alone in this world.I am a mixed media artist, photographer and herbal apothecary.

When Leah was led to the Quilted Health employment posting for a medical assistant, she felt it was written intentionally, with her in mind. “Quilted Health, its mission, and the opportunity to provide meaningful, compassionate, and equitable care for all was exactly what I had been looking for. I'm fortunate to have found an environment that advocates for client autonomy and caring for whole people.”In addition to her career in healthcare, Leah enjoys camping, road trips, gardening, foraging, wildcrafting, and rockhounding.

Steffany found it difficult to obtain a position as a Labor and Delivery nurse as a new graduate. She spent a couple of years as the clinic nurse for a busy Family Practice office. The clinic was a start up and she loved being able to have a hand in developing the nursing role there, but still longed to find a position in the field she was passionate about. Eventually, she was able to join Providence Holy Family on Family Maternity Center and dedicated over 18 years of her career there in a LDRP setting. She absolutely loved her job and cherished the opportunity to care for people during what often was a very vulnerable time in their lives. Nearly all of that time was spent working night shift and she came to a point in her life where she knew she was ready for a change.When she saw the posting for Perinatal Care Coordinator at Quilted Health, she felt like it was a sign. It was an opportunity to combine her clinic experience with her obstetrical expertise in a role that was a better fit for her family and life. She feels blessed to be joining Quilted Health and the Spokane team and looks forward to collaborating with the midwives in order to provide care in a way that is meaningful and meets the client where they are.
