Myriam strives to empower women discovering and embracing their innate strength during pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. She blends cultural sensitivity with unwavering support, ensuring every mother's voice is heard and honored.

I offer comprehensive doula support throughout the prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey. My care includes helping you explore and clarify your birth preferences, while offering both physical and emotional support that is responsive to your unique needs. I provide guidance on comfort measures, birthing positions, and exercises (including techniques from Spinning Babies) to help labor progress naturally. I also support you and your partner in understanding medical terminology and the range of options that may be offered, so you can make informed, empowered decisions with confidence. At the heart of my work is a deep respect for your autonomy, ensuring you feel supported in practicing informed consent every step of the way.
