know about pregnancy, childbirth,

Planning for a Hospital Birth
Mira Midwifery offers personalized
care and custom birth plans for
expectant mothers. Whether
planning for natural labor, labor
induction, or a cesarean section, I will guide you through the "what to expect" of a hospital birth, and help nourish an
informed and positive birthing
experience.
"I don't care what kind of birth you have...a homebirth, scheduled cesarean, an epidural hospital birth or if you give birth alone in the woods next to a baby deer. I care that you had options, that you were supported in your choices and that you were respected."
- January Harshe of Birth Without Fear
About Me
Hi there! I am Miriam, a Certified Nurse Midwife at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where I have helped bring life into the world for seventeen years. I am the founder of Mira Midwifery and a mama to three beautiful children. Throughout my experience, both as a provider and a patient, I've seen and felt a gap in the support women receive during these meaningful times, leaving them with unanswered questions, fear, and often disappointment. I am here to bridge that gap by empowering women with knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period, helping them feel supported and confident in their journey and their choices. Together, we will discover ways to nurture your body, mind, and soul during this life-changing experience. I am eager to connect with you personally and help you make informed decisions for you and your baby.
