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.

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.

Let’s connect and see how I can serve and support you in this beautiful season of life!

I had an incredibly intense experience in April 2024 when I gave birth to my son. I had planned to deliver at a midwifery center, but after arriving there in labor, it was believed that my labor had stalled, so I was sent home to rest. After a few hours of sleeping through contractions, I woke up in the middle of the night realizing that my baby was coming much sooner than expected. I immediately called Sam, and she arrived at my house within minutes. We initially planned to head back to the midwifery center, but it quickly became clear that I wasn’t going to make it in time. We moved into the bathroom, and I could feel my baby descending. In that moment, it was just the two of us. I had an overwhelming urge to push, and with one push, Sam calmly caught my baby. She remained composed as she gently unwrapped the cord from around his neck, wrapped him in warm towels, and helped stimulate him to cry. Her calm presence, quick thinking, and skill made all the difference in such a critical moment. I truly believe that without her there, the situation could have turned out very differently. I am beyond grateful for her care and for the way she supported me through such an intense and unforgettable experience.

With a background in Women's functional health, Cycle Charting education, and my own journey to Motherhood including a cesarean birth after planning a dream home birth, I have a wide scope of experience and understand your unique situation may call you to birth in a different way than you anticipated. I'm a mother-centric provider and birth partner. holding mama comes first, holding baby comes second or not at all. My priority is to make YOU feel seen, cared for, educated, supported, and held through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Beyond birth doula support, I teach cycle charting empowering you to choose when you have children and also helping you make sense of your menstrual cycle and what your symptoms reveal about your overall health. When clients uncover areas of health they can support, I can support them in finding answers through access to functional hormone testing and lifestyle coaching. I can't wait to meet you and support your unique story no matter where you find yourself in the journey of women's health and motherhood. BTW, I'm neurodivergent myself and so I have a real and personal understanding of low or fluctuating capacity. You can count on me to be understanding of your capacity in the decisions you make and will never judge you.

Working with Brielle was a wonderful way to help educate our daughter further on puberty and her body. She was a pleasure to work with, kind, and takes parents' values into account. I even learned something I didn't know! I'd highly recommend her program.

Julia Byrum

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.

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.

Sarah McDonald

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!

Nicki was an excellent doula!! First of all, Nicki is an incredible person and is very kind and nonjudgmental. She wants what is best for you and wants to make you feel comfortable. She was very on top of things and always responded to my texts quickly. She is definitely very knowledgeable and knows her stuff! I was confident with her as my doula. She gave me the tools needed to prepare for my unmedicated birth and helped me so much during my labor. She gave me tips and encouragement during active labor and believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. She is an amazing doula and I highly recommend her to anyone!

I found Nicki while trying to conceive and even though it took longer to get pregnant than I thought she was still with me all the way. She didn't need to but she regularly checked in on me to see how I was and what was next. So when I finally did get pregnant she was the first call! Nicki was personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. We made plans A, B, and C so we always had a layout for what we wanted should things change during the birth. Postpartum she was supportive in my breastfeeding journey, always willing and able to answer my questions. She even helped with tips for pumping for when I went back to work. You really get it all when you hire her as your doula!
