Alexandra Demetro, ND, LM
Want a family doctor who delivers your baby at your home and then continues on as
your family doctor? Dr. Alexandra Demetro is an ND & Midwife who does just that.
Growing up with Finnish roots in the country hills of Battle Ground, WA, Alexandra
formed a love of nature, herbs, and learned how to take the natural route with
preventative health. It’s no wonder she came back to her roots and has a natural health
clinic in Battle Ground where she see all ages and treat all kinds of conditions with
mostly herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. She does use prescription medications
when necessary.
Alexandra has been assisting in births since 1999 and graduated from the National
College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, OR as a Naturopathic Doctor (ND)
in 2002. Before that she graduated from Western WA University with a degree in PreMedicine and Psychology. She is also a licensed Midwife (LM), and is trained in neonatal resuscitation, IV therapy, and suturing. She also does Women’s annual exams, bio-identical hormone treatments, tests for food allergies, does blood work-ups, and more.
One aspect of her practice that she deeply enjoys is being able to get to know her patients from day one as their midwife, then as their pediatrician, and continuing care to keep the whole family healthy as their family doctor.
She loved having her daughters Isabella (2002) and Lucia (2007) born naturally at home and hopes to offer similar experiences to you too!

Angela Beach-Hart, CPM, LM, LMT
Angela became a doula in 2006, but was initially brought to working 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 decided to continue her career and became a midwife after graduating from midwifery school in 2013 at Birthingway College of Midwifery. She became a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Direct Entry Midwife (LDM) in Oregon and a Licensed Midwife(LM) in the state of Washington.
She gave birth to a sweet baby girl in April 2013 and even though she knew a lot about pregnancy and birth before going through it herself, she believes the experience has made her a better practitioner in many ways. Although she has a lot of passion for homebirth she also enjoy working in the hospital as a doula and believes every woman has the right to choose how and where they want to birth. She uses her skills as a massage therapist to help make pregnancy, labor, and postpartum as manageable as possible and uses the skills she has learned as a midwife to help provide resources and education along the way!
She loves supporting women and families through this amazing rite of passage and her heart goes into bringing education and support to those who need it. She looks forward to helping you along your journey!

Brittany Walker, CPM
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. 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 apprenticed with BBB for two years before officially joining the practice. One of her favorite parts about birth is witnessing the purest form of unconditional love when parents meet their new sweet baby for the first time. She is very excited to continue learning more about natural medicine as she continues along . Brittany lives in Vancouver, Washington with her boyfriend, two children, and 2 dogs.
