Hi there! I’m Sam, a holistic birth and postpartum doula called to walk alongside ALL women and families through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and new motherhood with love and compassion. I believe birth is a God-designed miracle—an experience that invites us to lean into trust, surrender, and the deep wisdom He’s placed within our bodies. As a doula, I support natural, low-intervention birth whenever possible, offering gentle, holistic care rooted in God’s creation. From nourishing foods and herbal remedies to essential oils, prayer, and emotional support, I bring a whole-body approach that honors both the spiritual and physical needs of the birthing woman. Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between, I’m here to support you with grace, encouragement, and evidence-based care. My mission is to create a peaceful and personal birth space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered—reminding you that your body was beautifully and fearfully made to bring life into this world. I consider it an honor to advocate for you, and be a steady presence as you welcome your baby. I work with women of ALL backgrounds who desire a birth experience rooted in love, faith and trust. If you're seeking a doula who will speak truth, honor your values, and walk this journey hand-in-hand, I’d love to meet you. Let’s connect and see how I can serve and support you in this beautiful season of life!

Hi! I’m Lauran Lessard! Christian birth doula and birth photographer in Post Falls, Idaho. Supporting home and birth center births in Coeur d’Alene, Spokane, and North Idaho with faith-based care and storytelling. My journey and passion for birth began with my own experience. During my pregnancy as a first time mom, I wanted to learn everything I could to prepare for an unmedicated birth. I did much research and preparation! I ended up having a surprise home birth, where my husband ended up delivering our baby girl! This sparked desire to come alongside fellow mothers, offering guidance and support every step of the way. My desire is for you to walk away from your birth, with peace and confidence, knowing you are fully equipped for this next season of motherhood.

I hired Danielle earlier this year to be my doula. Early in my pregnancy we discovered i was loosing my baby and would need a urgent hysterectomy do to complication. Danielle stayed with me during the whole process. She made weighing my options and processing my loss so much easier. 10 outta 10 recommend.

I am happily married to my best friend, and we are blessed with three wonderful sons. My interest in birth and breastfeeding has always been a passion of mine. The birth of my first son was at the hospital and was a life-changing experience that ignited a fire within me. I knew then that I wanted to support families as they welcomed, nourished, and nurtured new life. I became a certified doula in January of 2021 and began attending births. Being welcomed into someone's birth space is an incredible honor. Witnessing the transformative and miraculous experience of birth is truly awe-inspiring. In 2022, we welcomed our second baby at home, and the night and day difference in my experiences solidified my dream of becoming a midwife. I am excited to learn and grow as a student midwife and to serve families. When I am not attending births, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, reading, and cooking.

Hi there! I’m Aja, and I LOVE birth work. My passion started with my first pregnancy in 2020, and has only grown from there! My main goal and priority is doing everything I can to ensure my clients get the birth and postpartum they want. I believe birth of any sort and manner demands support, both mentally and physically. I am certified as a DONA birth and postpartum doula, and am also lactation certified. I just really love all things pregnancy, birth and baby related. I’d love to help you!

When we found out we were pregnant I was on a mission to have the best labor and delivery experience possible. That’s where the wonderfully talented Aja Gribble changed my life and made my dream a reality. Aja from the start was an amazing advocate for my needs and wants. We met up with my husband and spent the next hour and a half figuring out what exactly we wanted out of this experience. As a first time mom, my concern was going with a naturalistic approach at a birth center and having an unmedicated birth while maintaining a positive experience. Aja helped me find that and did her best to advise me on what my birth plan would look like if we were to incorporate all of my wishes into something doable. We also created a backup plan if the situation arose where we had to do a hospital birth. I felt so well taken care of and heard while preparing for my baby’s birth. Another strong suit of Aja’s is her vast knowledge of labor and being a mom in general. She was sending me tips left and right according to my wants and needs. When it came down to getting baby ready, she provided a list of exercises to get my daughter in position. I was laboring at home for the majority of my labor and Aja along with my husband, of course, got me through it. She showed my husband different ways he could support me with every contraction and I do believe it’s what got me to be dilated at an 8 by the time we arrived at the birthing center. She stood by my side for the duration of my labor and delivery and was nothing but positive and encouraging not only to me but my husband. Needless to say I am so happy with having hired Aja as a doula because her guiding me through this process made a world of a difference. Thank you Aja for being wonderful and being a part of our journey and making it that much better. We couldn't have done it without you.

Hi there! I’m Reighan. I provide holistic doula support in Central/Eastern WA. Holding space for strong feelings and emotions, empathizing, seeing past the outer layers of a person and into who they are inside are a few things that come naturally to me. The journey of pregnancy and birth is sacred and utterly transformational. It is also messy and challenging. It requires the entirety of our body, minds, and spirits. It is my joy to help folks remember the truth that has been there all along: that everything they need has always existed inside of themselves. On any given day you can likely find me walking to the park with my 4 magical kids, eating spicy chips with my lovely husband, or reading one of the twelve books I am usually in the middle of. : )

Hi! My name is Jesse! I am a birth worker! I have always had a calling for Obstetrics and all that it encompasses along with medicine! So to fill those callings I became a doula and a EMT in 2023! I believe that being informed in all that we do is important. Knowledge is power. And when you are at your most vulnerable time (giving birth) it is the most vital time to have all the information and the most support. My goal it to keep my clients informed, answer any questions, find resources. And help try to facilitate the birth that is wanted. I am a judgement-free doula. And am here to be a support person for you.

I want to start by saying when I first was getting a doula I had no idea what to expect or what a doula really would do during a birth. Jesse explained everything so beautifully on what a doula is used for, what the positives a doula can bring to a birthing experience, how doulas can help post-partum, and much more. I didn’t have too hard of a pregnancy but was diagnosed with Cholestasis in my third trimester which led to us needing to be induced around 37 weeks. I expressed my worries and scares with Jesse and we made a plan 💕 Jesse attended a birthing class with my husband and I as we were wanting to learn a little more about the birthing process and see if there was any educational assistance for inductions. Jesse was always one step ahead when it came to our questions and if we weren’t sure, she would ask or would try to find answers. The day came for our induction. We went in at 6am on the 13th and began the process of induction around 9:30am. Jesse was texting with me and checking in on me through the whole beginning process. I asked her if she would come once we got into active labor (which I didn’t know when that would come obviously) but she came that afternoon full of absolute love, excitement, and just a powerful presence. Through the full 39 hours of labor Jesse was by my side through every wake up, every contraction, every scare, every med pass, trying to get to the bathroom and then getting stuck on the toilet in the middle of contractions, reminding me to change positions, and every piece in between. The first 24hrs of labor were full of pressure releases, dance parties trying to work on dilation, watching a movie while trying to bounce on the exercise ball, and having LOTS of mental health check ins. My husband and I are so blessed to have had Jesse with us through this crazy adventure of our first birth, but I know 100% that we will NOT be doing another one without a doula. Jesse’s presence brought so much peace to both of us and made this rough labor a much happier experience to look back on. Thank you Jesse for all you do for the mamas and I can’t wait to reach out again for our next birth 💕 I couldn’t recommend someone more than Jesse to have by your side!!!!

I Can’t Wait to Meet You! In the Meantime, Here’s a Little About Me. My name is Matea, hello nice to meet you, thank you for checking out this page to learn more about me as a Doula. But first, let me tell you about myself when I am not being an amazing Doula. I am a mother to three wonderful children, 2 girls and one boy. And in my spare time, I love to enjoy a good film with my boyfriend, read a couple of books, and do some writing! My journey to becoming a Doula began during my third child, when I got pregnant the last time I felt a profound sense of freedom, to pursue whatever birthing options I wanted to, I spent countless hours nerding out over the birthing process and realized that I wanted to share that feeling of freedom and confidence with as many mothers as I could. My first two labors and pregnancies to say the least were HORRID. Knowledge is the most powerful resource that we have going through the process of birth and parenthood, knowing what sensations to expect, what experiences you might have in a hospital or birthing room, what it feels like to have your first or second child, and what to expect when returning home. I have personal experience with all of this, and the education to back it. I make it my personal goal to be your partner in making your birth story your own, and not just the one that is handed to you in a packet from a doctor’s office. I would love to connect with you over a cup of coffee or a quick phone call and talk more about what a Doula can do to help make birth and postpartum a beautiful experience for you and your family. So what can doula do for me? Specifically this doula? Birth is a natural process, arguably the most natural process that any woman has the privilege to undergo. And our bodies are uniquely equipped with the knowledge and ability to complete this process. As a doula for both Birth and Postpartum families, it is my goal to equip and educate new families in the miraculous and powerful process of birth, whether it is your first child or your 5th, I make it my personal goal to ensure that you have all the tools and encouragement that you need to make your birthing and postpartum experience as easy as possible. A Doula is your own personal advocate, your partner in the wonderful process of pregnancy and postpartum. I have received my training to provide these services through DONA (one of the most reputable training and certification providers in the US). I provide a myriad of services to support and advocate for you during and after your pregnancy .
