Julia Byrum is the founder and sole proprietor of Selah Birth Services. Here are a few fun facts about her. Julia and the love of her life, Benaiah just celebrated their first year of marriage. A graduate of Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, she majored in Music and Theology and minored in Family Science. She has a deep passion for worship and plans on incorporating that into her doula career. Julia loves spending time outdoors, exploring nature, and traveling to new places around the world. At home, she finds joy in the everyday: cooking, baking, decorating their new home, and keeping a warm, well-loved space. Above all, she loves and serves the Lord with her whole life, and counts herself deeply blessed to step into this new calling as a doula and childbirth educator. Selah Birth Services is a Christ-centered Doula and Childbirth Education business and ministry. Since she was a young girl Julia has had an interest and love for birth. She is now fulfilling her dream of being doula and bringing the Lord into her work. When choosing a name for her business, Julia landed on the word "Selah". Selah is a Biblical word which appears mostly in the Psalms and means, "to pause and reflect." In Scripture, this gives the reader a chance to contemplate what they just read. In worship, this allows space to be still and silent to listen intently to the Lord. And in labor, this applies to the break in between contractions; a chance to pause, a chance to breathe, a chance to rest in the presence of the Lord. Julia is not only equipped with the knowledge to be a professional and educated birth worker, but she also sees birth work as a ministry. She desires to bless and support families as they emerge into parenthood. Bringing life into this world is a gift from the Lord and Julia would be honored to support you in your journey.

Hi, I'm Andie. I'm a Licensed Midwife (LM), Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), and board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) serving families in Spokane and Eastern Washington through The Catching House. I've spent more than 15 years in birth work and attended hundreds of births. I'm also a mom of seven, so I've been on both sides of this experience. I know how much it matters to feel heard, to have your questions answered, and to know the person who'll be there when your baby arrives. With me, you'll have the same midwife from your first visit through postpartum. Our visits are unhurried, and I'll walk you through your options, the benefits and the risks, so every decision feels like yours. My care includes prenatal visits, birth at home, postpartum visits, and lactation support, all in one place. The Catching House is named for my grandmother's midwifery clinic in Ethiopia. Her stories are a big part of why I do this work. I'd love to meet you for a free consult and see if we're a good fit.

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.

Hello, my name is Shanna E. Stevens, and I am the heart and hands behind Pleasant Passage Doula. As a certified birth doula, mother of five, and grandmother, I bring not only professional training but also lived wisdom and compassion into every birth space I enter.

My philosophy is grounded in three values: 🌿 Empowerment through knowledge – When families are informed, they can make choices that feel aligned with their values and desires. I provide evidence-based resources, practical tools, and gentle guidance so you feel confident in your decisions. 🌿 Unwavering support – Birth can be unpredictable, but you are never alone. I offer continuous emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, ensuring your voice is heard and your needs are respected throughout the process. 🌿 Respect for your unique journey – No two births look the same. I honor your cultural background, preferences, and intuition. My goal is not to shape your birth into my vision, but to help you feel safe, seen, and supported in yours. It is my honor to walk beside families as they welcome new life. Every birth is sacred, and I consider it a privilege to witness your strength, resilience, and love as you step into parenthood.
