Hi, I'm Andie. I'm a Licensed Midwife (LM), Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), and board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) serving families in Spokane and Eastern Washington through The Catching House. I've spent more than 15 years in birth work and attended hundreds of births. I'm also a mom of seven, so I've been on both sides of this experience. I know how much it matters to feel heard, to have your questions answered, and to know the person who'll be there when your baby arrives. With me, you'll have the same midwife from your first visit through postpartum. Our visits are unhurried, and I'll walk you through your options, the benefits and the risks, so every decision feels like yours. My care includes prenatal visits, birth at home, postpartum visits, and lactation support, all in one place. The Catching House is named for my grandmother's midwifery clinic in Ethiopia. Her stories are a big part of why I do this work. I'd love to meet you for a free consult and see if we're a good fit.

The Catching House provides home birth midwifery care for families in Spokane and Eastern Washington. I'm Andie Durham, a Licensed Midwife (LM), Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), and board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), with more than 15 years in birth work and hundreds of births attended. My care includes unhurried prenatal visits, birth in your home (including a birth kit with disposable supplies, including a birth pool), postpartum visits, and lactation support, all with the same midwife from start to finish. I'll walk you through your options, the benefits and the risks, so every decision feels like yours.
Some families choose to have their placenta encapsulated after birth, and I offer this as an optional service for families in the Spokane area. After your birth, I handle your placenta with care and prepare it into capsules for you to take during the postpartum period. Research on the benefits is still limited, and every family's reasons are their own. I'm always happy to talk through what's known so you can decide what feels right for you.
As an IBCLC, I offer lactation support for families in Spokane, whether or not I'm your midwife. Visits can happen in your home or at my office, and can include prenatal feeding planning, help with latch and positioning, concerns about supply, pumping and bottle-feeding support, and a full feeding assessment for you and your baby. My goal is to help you feed your baby in a way that works for your family, with calm, practical support and no pressure. For my midwifery clients, lactation support is included in their care.

Andrea & Darby are a dream team! They’re loving, listen attentively to your concerns and preferences, and they are a wealth of knowledge for all your questions. Pre and post natal visits were very helpful and through, not to mention the bonus emotional support you get from their experience and motherly style of care, very different from I got from the OBGYN office. Would highly recommend their services!

Andrea has been a part of two of my pregnancies and home births. We have absolutely loved her and could not recommend her enough! She has always been very professional but also super personable. Andrea is one of the most genuine people I’ve met! I loved that she always explained the risks and benefits of all treatment options and encouraged us to always make the best decision for us with no pressure. During birth, Andrea was calm and collected through it all. Encouraging when I needed it, and in the background when I needed space. She is diligent and passionate about physiological birth! Andrea is not only a great midwife but such an amazing and compassionate person!

Andrea is fantastic to work with! She was supportive and available for any questions or concerns I had through every point of pregnancy and the birth of our son. I’m so grateful for her expertise and kindness through this journey!

Andrea is one of the best! As her client, you can tell she genuinely cares about you and your family. She is so supportive of your own decisions and values your autonomy while providing all the info you need to make informed decisions. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help bring my baby into the world!
— Morgan Treece
Our own experience with Andrea was a game-changer! She listened carefully and affirmed my husband, myself, and our two-week old who was having significant latching troubles. She is gentle and confident around newborns; even after having five babies I found her demeanor inspiring. Most importantly, her advice worked! We’re so grateful for her input and encouragement. Highly recommend Andrea as a lactation consultant and a knowledgeable practitioner.
