Where to find Firstlight Midwifery Care

What parents say

Choosing Firstlight Midwifery was the best decision I made regarding the birth of my child. Dawn and Emily helped me feel heard, safe and welcomed every step of the way from pre-natal to the delivery of my baby to post-natal care.

★★★★★ — Kristen, 2022-11

I wish I could give them 6 stars! Emily and Ann are a wonderful blend of knowledge and compassion. They took time at every appointment to listen to my concerns and questions. But they also gave us room to make our own informed medical decisions for myself and our baby. I never felt judged or unheard.

★★★★★ — Taylor, 2025-08

My first two births were traumatic but coming to Dawn, Emily, and Ann was the best decision I could have made for my third baby. I had such a wonderful pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. The team is thoughtful, caring, kind, and patient.

★★★★★ — Makayla, 2024-06

Dawn and her staff are great. Her office is very nice, welcoming and cozy. She is very caring, genuine, and knowledgeable. I'm glad I've been able to know her. She is a truly a hidden gem in Tacoma.
