Who is In the Vine

Andrea Roltgen, CPM, LM

Andrea Roltgen, CPM, LM has lived with her husband and children in North Idaho for over 20 years. She began her journey helping women throughout their childbearing season over 15 years ago, with a deep study and interest of the female body and hormones, which coincided with the nudging of the Lord to become a Certified Herbalist. Andrea consulted with hundreds of families locally, and across the nation to help them understand and take charge of their wellness, fertility, family health and even perimenopause. As a mama of 13, Andrea was committed to ensuring that the mamas she supported, as well as herself, came out healthier after each pregnancy. This commitment then gave birth to obtaining an ICEA Childbirth Education Certification, Birth Doula Certification, obtaining extensive Midwife Assisting experience and eventually earning the Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and Licensed Midwife (LM) titles.

The commitment to see women thrive in their childbearing season is the cornerstone of In The Vine Midwifery. Andrea firmly believes that women can be supported physically, emotionally and spiritually during this important season. Low volume care with a focus on supporting the whole woman is foundational to Andrea, while utilizing herbal modalities and remaining physiologically respectful in her care is the goal.

In her free time, Andrea loves homeschooling her children that are not yet grown-ups, spending time with her adult children and grandchildren, cooking, baking, gardening, swimming, soaking up the sun and listening to a ridiculously diverse blend of music while dancing like it’s still the 90’s. She strives to continue cultivating a deeper understanding and respect for the female body, pregnancy and birth.

Sarah Henkoski-Birth Assistant

Sarah Henkoski has lived in Idaho for over 25 years and has lived and breathed birth since she can remember. It started with her own Alaskan homebirth, when she “baptized” the midwives with her water bag upon entering the world, at which they pronounced her a midwife in the making due to her exciting arrival and having “extra long fingers”.

Although she didn’t know this story until she was already immersed in birth work, she spent her childhood assisting her mom with her many home births, being the “ranch vet” and helping with the many complicated scenarios that come with birthing animals, and studying everything birth and holistic living.

As a young adult, she started midwifery school and apprenticed under a local midwife, became a doula and EMT, and served as a missionary midwive in the jungle and at the largest charity Midwifery clinic in the Philippines for 7 months over a 2 year span. Although she foresaw spending her life there, God chose to bring her back home to Idaho to meet her now husband of a decade, raise 5 kids, and serve God in her local community through birth work and otherwise.

Sarah has supported over 150 births by assisting, being primary, or as a doula, and also runs a nationwide birth supply company. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with and homeschooling her children, flirting with her husband, enjoying the outdoors, needlework, and serving practical needs of our local community. Her love for Jesus is what breathes passion into her being, and breathing that life into others is what fulfills her. She is also on the Board of The Birth Place which seeks to meet the practical and mental needs of new and bereaved mothers, fathers, and families in the Coeur d’Alene area.

      Andrea is the best of the best in her field. Our 4th baby was born with some complications that if we were to have been at a hospital could've resulted in a C-section. Her and her helper are very intelligent and personal. My wife felt calm and safe in the care of "In The Vine Midwifery". I could write for hours about how exceptional our experience was with her team. Thank you so much for your continued support throughout this whole process.

      I (Carrie, not Joey!) have consulted with Andrea numerous times over the years- I consider her my mentor for all things health and fertility related. I have purchased her recorded lessons to watch with my teenage daughters and teach them about their bodies and cycles. She is so knowledgeable and I highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone. She practices what she preaches and her advice is proven and trustworthy. If I lived closer, I would have her deliver all of my babies- I know I am in good hands working with Andrea.

      Back in 2018, I was struggling to get pregnant. We had two children, but were struggling to get pregnant with our third. My health was super poor and I hadn't had a cycle in a while. I used Andrea for 3 months to help me improve my fertility. She answered tons of questions, worked me through the symptoms of my cycles as I started to regulate and help me boost my fertility through supplements and castor oil packs. We got pregnant 3 months later! I was extremely happy with her services and have not stopped recommending her since then! My friend down the road has also used her for her daughter's painful crazy periods with great success! I greatly admire Andrea for her knowledge and ability to achieve great things inspite of difficulty and delays. After years of slowing honing her skills and raising her very large family she is now a midwife as well. I am married to a person with these attributes of determination as well so I'm very familiar with them. They are a great help to many people! ~Kate

      Andrea came highly recommended from locals in our community and after our first visit we knew right away she was the one we wanted to have by our side through this pregnancy. She was informative, kind and extremely knowledgeable.

Although my wife's pregnancy ended with loss, Andrea was by our side throughout everything. She gave us hope and courage to get through some of our darkest days and for that we are eternally grateful.

Andrea came to visit my wife after her miscarriage and treated her like more than just a client, to her, she was a friend.

If you are in need of a midwife, In The Vine Midwifery is an excellent choice!

      Andrea was our doula in January of 2022 and we couldn’t be more thankful. Her childbirth education class was so helpful to both me & my husband. She provided us with many resources about nutrition, books to read, scripture to study, and was just wonderful to talk and pray with in the weeks leading up to our birth. At the birth of our daughter, she was such a calming presence and knew just how much to be involved and how to help my husband care for me. Our labor lasted only ~3 hours and my midwife nearly didn’t make it! I felt completely fine knowing she was there with us in the event that my midwife wouldn’t make it because Andrea has such a deep foundation of knowledge about safely birthing a baby and helping them transition to this world. We are close to the birth of our second child and have since moved away from the area but these last few weeks have me reflecting on her and the rest of our birth team and we will never forget the love they poured out on us as new parents.

      Andrea is the most warm, kind, and empathetic woman! Her care comes from a combination of knowledge and experience! She herself has birthed many children and has had a wide variety of birth experiences. She is gentle and confident, attentive and thorough!
