Sam Beach-Hart, CPM, LM
Sam graduated from Birthingway College of Midwifery in Portland, Oregon in 2013 with a Bachelors of Science in Midwifery (BSM) and has been a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) since 2013. She became a doula in 2006, but was initially brought to work in the birth community through her massage practice. She saw the amazing benefits of massage throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and soon found herself attending births as a doula. She started attending home births in 2007. She is a Licensed midwife in the state of Washington and has attended over 400 births. She is now retired from massage after 17 years of practice, but loves to massage clients at births and prenatal visits.
She loves supporting families through this amazing rite of passage and her heart goes into bringing education and support to her clients. When she is not busy being a midwife you will find her by a river, quilting or hanging out with her family. (She/Her)
Brittany Danielson, CPM, LM
Brittany first became interested in the birth world when she was invited to be a doula at her friend's birth. Even though she was a mom herself, witnessing another person give birth opened her eyes to a whole new world. From that moment on, she knew that this is what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. Brittany grew up in Olympia, Washington and went to Western Washington University, graduating in 2009 with a BA degree in Business Management, with a focus in Marketing. She became a mom for the first time in 2011, and gave birth to her second child in 2014, and is currently pregnant with her 3rd. After having her second child with a midwife, she knew that she wanted to focus on home birth with a biodynamic approach.
In 2015, Brittany completed her doula training at Birthingway College of Midwifery and in 2016 she started classes as a full time student midwife, graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Midwifery in 2019. Brittany lives in Washougal with her husband and three children. (She/Her)
Kyra Marsico, CPM, Certified Doula
Hi, I’m Kyra Marsico, a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Oregon Traditional Health Worker (THW) Doula serving families throughout the Portland Metro area and parts of Washington State. I’ve been attending births since 2012, and I feel honored to walk alongside families as they navigate the powerful and transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.
My approach to care is evidence-based, compassionate, and family-centered. I believe that every birthing person deserves to feel informed, supported, and empowered to make choices that reflect their values and needs. Whether you’re planning a home birth or welcoming your baby in a hospital setting, my goal is to ensure that you feel safe, respected, and deeply cared for.
In addition to my midwifery and doula work, I am CPR and Neonatal Resuscitation certified, and I also teach childbirth education classes for families preparing to welcome their little ones. My academic background includes a B.A. in Anthropology and a B.S. in Midwifery, which together inform my holistic understanding of birth as both a physiological and deeply cultural experience.
It’s an honor to be invited into such an intimate and sacred space in people’s lives. I’m committed to providing skilled, respectful, and personalized care that supports you in bringing your baby into the world with confidence and love.
