Sierra Emrich Hamm - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Sierra

More than a decade ago, I answered a quiet but persistent calling to walk alongside women during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. My journey began as a doula and eventually led me through nursing school, hospital maternity care, home birth, birth centers, breastfeeding support, childbirth education, and medical advocacy. Along the way, I have had the privilege of attending hundreds of births and supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the many decisions that shape these experiences. These years have taught me that while knowledge matters, information alone is not enough. Women need relationship. They need support. They need space to ask questions, explore their options, and reconnect with the wisdom that already lives within them. I believe pregnancy and birth are not simply medical events. They are profound rites of passage that invite a woman to grow in strength, discernment, and trust. My role is not to tell you what choices to make. My role is to help you understand your options, cultivate confidence in your decision-making, and prepare for motherhood from a place of love rather than fear. Whether you are planning a home birth, preparing for a hospital birth, navigating a VBAC, seeking breastfeeding support, or simply looking for a trusted guide, I bring both clinical experience and deep respect for the innate design of mothers and babies. The women I serve are not looking to be managed. They are looking to be informed, supported, and seen. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you prepare to welcome your baby and step more fully into the mother you were created to become.

Sierra is the absolute best! She is so knowledgeable and shares that knowledge in a way that’s easy for the common (non-medical) person to understand. I was 39 weeks pregnant and reached out to her, somewhat freaking out, because I found out my midwife wanted to induce me. I had a lot of concerns with that. Sierra listened to my concerns, she validated how I was feeling, and was able to give me a real step by step plan of what my options were going forward. I went from panic to peace after speaking with her. Instead of feeling like I was just being shuffled through the system, I felt empowered to make decisions and advocate for myself and my baby. I would totally trust her with anything baby/pregnancy related and would absolutely seek her advice again!
