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!

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.

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.
