Many insurance plans, including Medicaid, may cover midwifery services if the midwife is licensed and certified. It is essential to check directly with your insurance provider to confirm if midwifery services are included, what portion of the costs are covered, and if the midwife you choose is in-network. Additionally, some midwives offer payment plans or sliding scale fees for those paying out-of-pocket.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Midwives with extensive experience, additional certifications, or specializations such as VBAC support or water birth may charge higher rates.

Hello there! My name is Sarah and I am a holistic, mind-body focused certified Birth Doula in Spokane, WA. I grew up with a mom who worked in labor and delivery for most of my early childhood and was obsessed with hearing the birth stories of her patients. I learned what a doula was in 2015 and have since believed deep in my soul that becoming a doula is part of my life calling, my destiny, my fate…whatever you want to call it. I am deeply passionate about this work. I believe that every birth is natural - and whether it is a vaginal, medicated or unmedicated, or cesarean birth - every type of birth demands support and deserves celebration. I have been a doula for over a year and a half and have served over 20 families in that time. I have experience with first time and multiple time mamas, inductions, cesareans, home birth, birth centers, and hospitals!

Sarah's services never felt like anything less than selfless friendship and support. Through prenatal care, labor support, and postpartum recovery, she was patient, loving, and kind. Sarah is naturally gifted with every characteristic that an amazing Doula possesses. She exemplified the reasons every laboring woman should have a doula—and more specifically have her—beside them for her journey. Not only supporting me personally, she gave gentle and helpful guidance to the baby's father. Her kind coaching not only improved the labor experience, but strengthened the love and respect that my partner and I have for each other. Sarah made the positive experience extend beyond the labor and delivery of our son and into the relationships that were created and solidified because of it. And to top it all off, her counter pressure, knowledge of techniques, positions, and mantras, and overall comforting presence were priceless for 26 hours of labor. Thank you so much, Sarah! I almost can't wait to be pregnant again just to get to labor with you a second time!

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 3 years of experience under my belt as a doula and lactation peer counselor. I have supported hospital, birth center, and home births. I am confident in my skills and services and am devoted to continued development. Since 2025 I have really focused 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 their Indigenous doula training. I also began a part time position aiding Spokane Tribal Network in supporting local Indigenous doulas, such as myself. I look forward to future opportunities to progress the work we are doing in and for our communities.

We loved our experience with Sierra! From the first meeting her demeanor was warm and friendly, we were able to meet at a local coffee place and just chat initially and she really made it a comfortable experience. From answering late night texts and phone calls about general pregnancy symptoms, to birthing positions, to helping me with breast feeding postpartum, her knowledge and expertise has been priceless. She was very present for my labor and helped reexplain things the doctors were saying when I couldn’t quite process during contractions. It was wonderful to have another support other than my husband during labor, as well as someone willing to take photos so my husband could just focus on me. If you’re on the fence about having a doula I couldn’t recommend it enough! If we were ever to have another child in the future we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Sierra again.
