About me
Nyamuoch Miak Birth & Postpartum Doula My name is Nyamuoch Miak, and I own Mama Seed Doula, LLC. I serve the Johnson County, Cedar Rapids, and William Burge area. I am married and blessed with four beautiful children. I have over ten years of experience working with children in school and childcare settings. I am drawn to birth work because of my passion for assisting birth parents and my love for newborns. I enjoy educating, supporting, connecting, and learning from parents and their newborns as they discover each other's needs and wants. I put birthing parents at the center of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I listen and provide the physical, emotional, and educational support parents need to navigate the transition into parenthood confidently. I aim to give birthing parents and their families my undivided attention and the knowledge they need to make informed decisions unique to them. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, teaching my native language to my children, crocheting, and volunteering at our local church. My husband and I share a happy, busy life with our family and friends, and I love sharing our Sudanese cuisine with everyone!

Ratings and reviews
We were incredibly lucky to have Nyamuoch for six weeks of postpartum night visits, and I can confidently say we could not have gotten through that time without her. As a second-time parent, I knew how challenging the postpartum period could be, which made Nyamuoch’s ability to put me completely at ease from our very first conversation especially meaningful. While I initially wondered how it would feel having someone in our home at night, her calm, reassuring presence immediately made me feel safe and supported, and I trusted her completely with my son, which is something I do not say lightly. Because of her, I got the most restful and restorative sleep I had postpartum, knowing my son was being cared for with such attentiveness, gentleness, and skill. She has an extraordinary way with babies and seemed to instinctively know exactly what he needed. Beyond that, she is a true wealth of knowledge, always offering thoughtful guidance, reassurance, and practical tips. She was also consistently reliable, thoughtful, and deeply professional in every interaction. Her care didn’t just help at night. It allowed me to show up as a better, more present parent during the day for my toddler. The difference that made for our entire family truly cannot be overstated. What stood out most was how deeply she cared, not just for our baby but for me as well. Even during a vulnerable and emotional time, she brought so much warmth and lightness. We shared so many laughs, and I genuinely looked forward to every visit with her. Nyamuoch played a huge role in making our second postpartum experience beautiful. Our family is better for having had her during that time, and I am endlessly grateful for her. I could not recommend her more highly.
