Who Is In The Vine?
Meet the passionate and experienced women of In The Vine Midwifery—dedicated to guiding you with knowledge, care, and compassion.
Andrea Roltgen, CPM, LM
Owner and Primary Midwife of In The Vine Midwifery and Peony Birthing Suites
Andrea Roltgen, CPM, LM, has called North Idaho home for over 20 years, where she lives with her husband and children. Her journey in birthwork began over 15 years ago, driven by a passion for women’s health, hormones, and holistic wellness. Called to serve, she became a Certified Herbalist, consulting with families locally and nationwide to help them take charge of their wellness, fertility, and family health—including perimenopause.
As a mother of 13, Andrea’s personal experiences fueled her commitment to ensuring the women she supported—along with herself—emerged healthier after each pregnancy. This dedication led her to earn certifications as a Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator (ICEA), gain extensive midwifery assisting experience, and ultimately become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Midwife (LM).
Andrea’s philosophy is rooted in helping women thrive during their childbearing years. She provides low-volume, personalized care that supports the whole woman—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Utilizing herbal modalities and honoring the physiological birth process, she empowers families to make informed decisions within a framework of safety and responsibility.
When not serving families, Andrea enjoys homeschooling her younger children, spending time with her adult children and grandchildren, cooking, baking, gardening, swimming, and dancing to her favorite ’90s music.

Dawn Marie Brown has served families as a midwife for over 10 years, with experience spanning Spokane, Idaho, and seasons of life spent in Hawaii as well. Since beginning her midwifery journey, she has had the privilege of attending approximately 1,000 births. Her work has included busy birth centers as well as her own practice, bringing both steady experience and heartfelt presence into every birth space.
She is also a Licensed Massage Therapist, and her massage work integrates naturally into her care for midwifery clients. Dawn values the partnership and relationship that midwifery care creates, and she maintains an education-forward approach because she believes knowledge is power.
Families seeking specialized support appreciate Dawn’s extensive training and birth experience with VBAC, twins, and breech births. Even with her depth of experience, she has never lost the joy of birth. She is often moved because she continues to cherish the process and loves witnessing the journey women experience as they become mothers and bring forth new life.
Married for over 27 years and Alaska-grown, Dawn has traveled extensively around the world, including mission trips and humanitarian trips through churches. She is the mother of three children and has personally experienced birth in three settings: once in the hospital, once at home, and once in a birth center. Now that her children are grown, she values family time more than ever. She and her family live on 10 acres in rural Washington, and she enjoys all things outdoors, including triathlons. In her quiet time, she loves to garden and read.
