Hello, my name is Jamie Lovato, and I am a Certified Full-Spectrum Doula located in Valley, Washington. All the facets of birth are my joy and passion, and I'm always curious to learn more. My background is Native plant medicines and Indigenous Birth Justice work. I believe birth can be calm and peaceful if we set the right atmosphere with positive affirmations to get there. My practice tries to create a judgment-free zone for all parents seeking informational and emotional support. In my free time I enjoy gathering plants for medicine making and spending time with family and friends.

Way, Iskwist Sierra sanchez. Hello, my name is Sierra Sanchez. I am a descendant of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of Indians and a Mexican-American. I have roughly 3 years of experience under my belt as a doula and lactation counselor. I have supported hospital, birth center, and home births. I am confident in my skills and services and am devoted to continued development. This year I have really started focusing on bringing more culture into my work and connecting with my communities. I attended the first annual Returning from the Stars conference hosted by the Center for Indigenous Midwifery and completed the Cerrando Caderas Challenge with IndigeMama this summer. I recently began a part time position aiding Spokane Tribal Network in supporting local Indigenous doulas, such as myself, by providing Medicaid billing support. I look forward to future opportunities to progress the work we are doing in our communities.

My name is Kelsey Smith. I am a wife, mother, RN, Lactation Educator and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. In 2015, my daughter was born and so was my passion for the world of lactation. With both children, breastfeeding didn't come easily. Each new child brought new challenges that with hard work and perseverance, we ultimately overcame. I saw this world that could be so beautiful and so incredibly frustrating all at the same time and knew I wanted to be a part of it. My experience and challenges led me to want to help others entering the world of breastfeeding. As a registered nurse, I've seen first hand the lack of support offered to mothers during the post partum period and knew I wanted to be part of that change. This led me to begin my journey to become a Lactation Consultant. I love working with families to help them meet their breastfeeding goals, whatever those may be. I am a graduate of the Pathway 2 Lactation Consultant program through UCSD and have also served as a mother to mother support with La Leche League International since 2016. I also hold a current membership with the international organization ILCA. Being a mom is hard enough, and trying to navigate it alone is even harder. Thank you for inviting me into your family and letting me become a part of your journey. ​ xo, Kelsey

Hi there! I am a full spectrum doula (birth, postpartum, and even stillbirth/miscarriage/abortions) serving the Spokane and North Idaho areas, and have experience with twin births, intervention-free births, and births with no interventions involved. I serve birth people however and wherever they would like to birth, in or out of hospitals, with midwives or OBs. I'm now currently serving Medicaid clients in Washington State! When I'm not attending births and helping postpartum families, I'm fostering kitties for a local rescue, while also loving on my grandsons. I can't wait to be able to support you!

Every woman deserves to feel safe, respected, and deeply supported during her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. Hi, I’m Ashley, a doula serving families in Greater Spokane and North Idaho.
