Brandy Ross-Bell, ND, LM (she/her)
Brandy is a 2004 graduate of the Naturopathic Medicine and Naturopathic Midwifery programs at Bastyr University. After graduation, she spent her first two years of practice in Minnesota. Brandy returned to Seattle in 2006 where she opened her practice in Lynnwood, WA doing both Naturopathic Medicine and Midwifery with a focus on pediatrics and midwifery. While homebirth was always my great love, Brandy decided to open a birth center in 2019/2020 to offer greater options to birthing people in Mountlake Terrace and surrounding areas. Brandy is fortunate enough to have a loving wife and 3 kids that support her on this journey of life.

She trained DONA Postpartum Doulas for eight years and has volunteered on the Board of Postpartum Support International of Washington for six years as Treasurer and Interim Board President, and on the Board of PALS Doulas for two years as President.
These days Melinda has focused her doula work on families planning out of hospital birth, as well as working as a Birth Assistant with Sprout Birth Center. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her sons and husband, traveling, playing with her two Golden Retrievers and losing track of all time in her wood shop. She believes Midwifery Care is the answer to the health care crisis.
