Laine Ferguson

Hi, I’m Laine (she/her)! I am a full-spectrum doula, plant lover, and mom of two incredible little humans. My own journey - welcoming my first child in 2018, experiencing pregnancy loss, and later giving birth to my second in 2023 - deeply shaped my path and passion for birth work. Both of my births were supported by wonderful doulas, and their steady presence inspired me to offer the same kind of care to others. As your doula, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to help you feel nurtured, empowered, prepared, and cared for - no matter how or where you choose to give birth. I love working with new parents and growing families, and I hold space for the wide range of emotions and transformations that come with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My approach blends compassionate emotional and physical support with practical tools like childbirth education and baby wearing guidance. I’m also passionate about birth photography and love capturing the beauty and power of labour, birth, and those magical first moments together. Through my practice, I offer in-person Labour & Birth Doula support, Childbirth Education, Birth Photography, and Birth Equipment Rentals for families in Nelson, BC and across the West Kootenays. I also support families from afar with Virtual Prenatal & Childbirth Education, 1:1 Virtual Birth Planning, and options that make doula care more accessible when local support just isn’t available, or financially do-able. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me tending to my plants, playing up at Whitewater, or keeping up with life alongside my two kiddos. Certifications and Trainings: Maternal Support Practitioner – Full Spectrum Doula Training (Bebo Mia) Essence of Birth Photography (Birth Becomes You) Childbirth Educator Training (Bebo Mia) Advanced VBAC Doula Certification (The VBAC Link) First Aid & CPR-C/AED (The Lifesaving Society) IPAC Training (Provincial Infection Control Network) I’m also an approved provider under BC’s Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program, meaning my services may be eligible at low-cost or no-cost. The Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program (DAFGP) is offered by the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, Provincial Health Services Authority, and the BC Ministry of Health. The goal of the program is to increase healthy birth outcomes for Indigenous families by removing the cost barrier to accessing doula services.

Andrea Durham

NPI verified

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.

Andrea & Darby are a dream team! They’re loving, listen attentively to your concerns and preferences, and they are a wealth of knowledge for all your questions. Pre and post natal visits were very helpful and through, not to mention the bonus emotional support you get from their experience and motherly style of care, very different from I got from the OBGYN office. Would highly recommend their services!

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!

Recent review

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!

Darby Merritt

Darby Merritt LM, CPM As a small-town local, I have a deep love for all things old-fashioned and being rooted in community. After spending many years on the road, my husband and I feel blessed to have settled in the PNW. We’re raising five growing children who are the light of our lives, with a focus on a deeply rooted, home-centered life—fostered at home through growing our own food, homeschooling, and spending as much time together as this beautiful life allows. Work Life – I’ve been attending births in a variety of roles since 2012. In 2016, I graduated from AAMI Midwifery School, and have been attending births ever since in a variety of roles. I currently hold an active CPM credential and am a licensed midwife in both Washington and Idaho. I maintain current certifications in Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) and CPR/BLS, and I pursue continuing education each year to expand my skills and deepen my understanding of holistic health. Supporting families through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum brings me profound purpose and joy. I believe in the strength of women and families, the power of autonomy, and the importance of true informed consent. It is an honor to walk alongside families during these life-changing moments.

I would highly recommend Darby as a midwife! As a first time mom she was so informative and gave me all the knowledge I needed at every appointment. She aligned so well with my views of wanting a natural, calm, as God designed birth. My birth experience was long and intense as are many but she always remained calm and collected. Giving me assurance that my body would do as it was created to. She embodies knowledge, a sense of calm, and an excitement for new life. She stands by a women’s right to choose how her birth and baby will be brought into this world. Thank you Darby, I look back at my birth with awe of my body and what it can do through patience and perseverance. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Brielle Cortez

Accepts insurance

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.

September 2026

Andrea has been a part of two of my pregnancies and home births. We have absolutely loved her and could not recommend her enough! She has always been very professional but also super personable. Andrea is one of the most genuine people I’ve met! I loved that she always explained the risks and benefits of all treatment options and encouraged us to always make the best decision for us with no pressure. During birth, Andrea was calm and collected through it all. Encouraging when I needed it, and in the background when I needed space. She is diligent and passionate about physiological birth! Andrea is not only a great midwife but such an amazing and compassionate person!

Andrea is fantastic to work with! She was supportive and available for any questions or concerns I had through every point of pregnancy and the birth of our son. I’m so grateful for her expertise and kindness through this journey!
