holistic birth & postpartum doula
"There's a secret in our culture,
and it's not that birth is painful.
It's that women are strong."

What is a Doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother and her partner before, during, and shorty after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
A doula encourages informed consent, shares information, provides emotional and physical comfort, provides flexible support through different scenarios, compliments nurses and provides gentle guidance to partner throughout labor, birth, and postpartum.
Meet your doula!
I'm Miriam, and I am so honored you are here. I serve the Tulsa/Bartlesville, OK areas. From education and planning to emotional processing and encouragement for you and your birth team, I am here for the unique needs of your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience. I completed my Birth Doula training through DONA International. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and have a lot of history working in mental health. I also have lots of experience with aromatherapy and its use with pregnancy and birth.

Birth Plan Session

The power of a birth plan isn’t the actual plan. It’s the process of becoming educated about all your options.
Join me for a 2-hour session to discuss your options in childbirth and together we can formulate the best way to lay it all out to get you one step closer to having your ideal birth. Together we will create a beautiful plan on my custom template that you can bring with you to prenatal appointments, hospitals, or birthing centers.
