Kelsey Chieko Babb is a Bastyr University trained midwife who has primed her skills serving diverse communities from the Greater Houston Area to Seattle. Chieko has been a full-time birth worker since 2015. She completed her studies at Bastyr University in 2018 with a dual Bachelor and Master of Science degree in Midwifery. 

Chieko believes her midwifery training instilled in her the importance of taking on leadership in communities for the health of future generations. Her practice of holistic midwifery care is rooted in both evidence-based practices and respect for traditions. She brings all the tools of the trade she has gathered throughout her journey as a birth doula, herbalist, reproductive health ally, and home birth midwife into her practice. Additionally, Chieko has a BSN degree from Cizik School of Nursing and neonatal ICU experience caring for critically-ill newborns. Her ultimate goal is to provide her community with access to humane, respectful, and culturally sensitive care as a guide and partner in protecting physiologic childbirth.
