MEET YOUR Coach

Sam Wilson
Health Tech Exec, Doula, Coach

Sam Wilson is a behavioral healthcare executive who was called to the world of birth and parenting support after having an empowering home birth with her first baby. Sam has completed training as a doula (DONA International) and as a perinatal behavioral health coach to support expecting parents through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. 

Sam’s career in healthcare policy, advocacy, and operations motivated her to do extensive research during her own pregnancy. What she found was worse than what she already sensed - the US maternity system has overmedicalized birth, stripping women of their power and delivering worse outcomes than our parents' generation.

Thankfully, Sam also discovered a growing movement to return to birthing intuition - one that spans cultures and supports women during this life-changing chapter. Now, it’s her passion to support others on this journey.
