Miriam

Miriam is known for her warm presence, steady grounding energy, and hands-on, intuitive support. Birth work is woven into her story; her mother was a doula, and she supported five of her six sisters through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum long before she began her career professionally. Caring for women and babies isn’t something she discovered later; it’s something she has lived her entire life.
