Miriam Maternity
Clients' Stories
Carina, January 2024
We feel Miriam was born with a special gift. An ability to make women feel totally seen in what is probably the most sacred chapter/s of their life.
Miriam has supported us throughout our entire journey of welcoming our second child. Pregnancy, birth and then the early days of our treasured baby boy Rafe Gabriel’s life. She has been a gentle rock and fountain of knowledge throughout. Her delicate ability to deliver important realities gave us the assurance and confidence we needed in both our birth preparation and debrief. But that was just the start, some specific ways she did this was through:
-
1:1 support for specific pregnancy fears
-
Home birth planning
-
Debrief of our home birth
-
Breastfeeding support with tongue tie and norovirus!
-
Mindfulness and well-being support
Our story of Rafe Gabriel’s start was definitely made even more beautiful thanks to having Miriam in it.
Esther, October 2024
Miriam provided me with invaluable support during my twin pregnancy and has continued to support me throughout my journey as a twin mum. From breastfeeding advice to wellbeing checks.
Miriam thanked me for trusting her with my babies and my response was simply:
How could I not trust you?! You are Miriam. Kind, selfless, motivating and magical.
Her experience makes her a credit to Midwifery and I feel blessed that she has played a magical part in my journey
Pedro, June 2024
This is not just a course of mindfulness of preparation for childbirth, it is gaining security, confidence and some peace of mind in this new stage that is coming.
I cannot be more grateful to Miriam for the days preparing for Marcos’s arrival.
I couldn’t imagine how intense and exhausting childbirth can be and how helpless you can feel when you see your partner carrying everything.
But thanks to Miriam, I have been able to do much more to accompany my wife in this. Plus she has made me more prepared for the first days of being a family.
Nicole, October 2024
Pregnancy and postpartum is a process in which many fears, concerns and questions arise.Having someone at hand who has the knowledge and tools to prepare me gave me a lot of peace during pregnancy.
Miriam was always available to answer questions and support me with kindness and empathy. The mindfulness practices we did were not only helpful during our pregnancy, birth and postpartum but are a tool that we carry with us for life.
Choosing Miriam as our midwife to accompany us in this process of motherhood was without a doubt the best decision we have made.
Naomi, June 2024
I wish Miriam had been my midwife, from start to finish, from pregnancy to postpartum.
For me, she has not only been my wonderful mindfulness teacher. She has been one of the best teachers I have ever had.
I have most applied what I learned in the course in the first stages of postpartum, when I most needed all those feelings and thoughts to be easier to cope with.
I would highly recommend this course over any other, the mental/emotional preparation with someone so kind, who doesn't judge you and guides you was wonderful.
I am eternally grateful that Miriam exists
Patricia and Juan Carlos, November 2023
Miriam is not only a wonderful person and professional, but she also brings out the best in you. She turns your fears into hope, your doubts into certainties and your insecurities into strengths.
Miriam came into my life when I needed her the most and I am grateful for that encounter every day. Her training made me face childbirth with enthusiasm and confidence.
Without a doubt, I will count on Miriam again. I will always be grateful to you.
Andrea, February 2024
I have known Miriam for years and I have always known that she was a great professional, the result of the passion and vocation she feels for the midwifery profession. After a previous traumatic birth with a cesarean section that was very medicalised and little respected, I knew I wanted to have physical and emotional support in my second.
When I found out that Miriam taught classes, I did not hesitate to contact her. She helped me prepare and thanks to her resources I arrived at birth empowered and full of desire and enthusiasm. Thanks to her support, I faced the unforeseen events that arose during both pregnancy and childbirth and managed to give birth to my second daughter naturally and full of pride. It has been a great luxury to have her company during these months
Paula and Camilo, March 2024
We are delighted with the accompaniment that Miriam has offered.
She helped and escort us through pregnancy and also during the postpartum period with lots of breastfeeding support.
She is a great professional and wonderful human being, with a lot of empathy to understand our needs and advise us accordingly.
From the beginning she designed a course with just the content we needed. She is always available for any questions we have and her responses are very complete, explaining all the possible options.
We 100% recommend her advice, it is spectacular!
Astrid and Alex, May 2023
We recommend taking part in this mindfulness class and even better if this class is given by Miriam.
She was simply the best.
In addition to explaining all the concepts really well, she was also able to give us clear examples and application (practice exercises).
This was for our second child and both of us were dubious whether mindfulness would be able to help in such a hard moment that labour is. Well it absolutely did.
I was able to focus on my breathing and really get away from the pain (or manage it better is probably a more accurate picture).
All in all, do not hesitate to book a class with her. Worth every penny and more!
Thank you again Miriam for your precious help in this important moment of our life as pregnant women.
Emily, February 2023
Miriam has helped me so much during my pregnancy and postnatally. She is non- judgemental and kind and an excellent listener.
She supported me through a difficult few months trying to feed my baby and her honest caring approach helped me so much!
I would recommend Miriam to anybody, she is knowledgeable, compassionate and friendly.
Marta and Matteo, January 2023
We first did mindfulness in preparation for the birth of our baby and Miriam was our teacher. She
was wonderful, always calm and smiling, but equally honest and so competent in explaining what to
expect. We found the technique extremely helpful, both for labour and for adjusting to our new life,
particularly when the lack of sleep kicks in. Highly recommend.
