I strongly recommend Miranda as your next doula. She was very a knowledgeable and helpful resource, while preparing for my first baby.  Miranda helped me better understand the birth process and helped me come up with a birth plan I wanted. Let me tell you, I couldn't have done it without Miranda. Her voice was calming and encouraging. The environment she created was quiet and calm. She lit electronic tea lights and had essential oils handy. She navigated me through the entire laboring and birthing process while helping me make sure we stuck to my birthing plan. She was sweet and fir right in with the nursing staff from the hospital. She even helped me navigate the father when he wasn't sure how to help or when he became nervous and started talking too much. I will definitely be hiring Miranda for my second baby.
