Hi I’m Meranda!
I am so glad you’re here, thank you for stopping by to know a little more about me!
My husband and I are both born and raised Oregonians, so naturally I love the coast and finding remote places to marvel at God’s creation. Wearing the names “wife” and “mama” brings me insurmountable happiness! I believe my pregnancy, labor and birth experiences have enriched my perspective and ability to help pregnant women and their families navigate through the triumph and possibly unexpected outcomes of labor and birth. I have also found that my 10 years of experience as a Medical Assistant in Ob/Gyn have given me a very comprehensive understanding of pregnancy, birth and postpartum that allows me to provide a unique, educational and empowering experience.
Pregnancy, labor and birth are such a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual journey. As your Doula, I am eager to support and equip you in all of those areas! I naturally lead with compassion and understanding; I want to dive into all your hopes, fears and anything in between so that I can provide you with the most individualized care and advocacy. It brings me such joy to give you the tools you need to feel empowered to make the choices that fit you best, help you to achieve the pregnancy care you desire and a birth that leaves you feeling incredibly empowered by your mental and physical strength!
It’s my deep honor and blessing to serve you and I hope to connect with you soon!

Testimonials
“I highly recommend that every expecting father get a doula for their wife, and if you can, specifically Meranda with Miracle Birthing Doula Services. The value, care, and support she brings are unparalleled and absolutely worth the cost.
My wife wanted a VBAC after a rough first pregnancy with a rare pregnancy disease ending in a c-section after 20 hours of labor. We did not have a doula and were left to navigate a lot of difficult things on our own.
During this recent pregnancy, which was difficult due to severe sickness and a reoccurrence of the rare disease, Meranda was an amazing support to my wife. When the time for active labor came, Meranda was a literal answer to prayer. My wife had all of her birth plans honored, including an unmedicated all-natural birth. I believe this would not have been possible without Meranda right by her side every step of the way.
Husbands: hire Meranda. You will not regret the decision for one moment.
Wives: If your husband is on the fence show them this!” – McCartney Family
“Meranda was such an incredible help along the journey of my pregnancy and birth. From the moment she began working with us we felt comfortable and were able to discuss all our concerns and hopes. She was supportive of every desire we had and was really knowledgeable about the entire process. Not only was she great emotional and physical help for me during birth but my husband was so appreciative to have her there as well. We truly couldn’t have done it without her.” – Garrison Family
“My husband and I hired Meranda to help us with the birth of our first baby. I’m so so thankful that we did! She met with us during my pregnancy and gave us tons of great information and helped us make a birth plan. I ended up being induced and she was there every step of the way to encourage, inform, confirm, and hold space during labor and delivery. She was an absolute champ and I can’t imagine what we would’ve done without her. I can’t recommend her highly enough!” – Bowen Family
“I’ll never forget Jasper’s birth. It was a big testimony to God. I had Christian hypnobirthing on which is tracks of scripture and talking about God’s character. None of the nurses thought I was in labor at 8 and 9cm. I was still standing, talking, and laughing. I didn’t even think I was that far along.
After my birth, one of the nurses said “I thought I was open to everything but I don’t think I am. I think I’m going to need to look into Jesus and Church.” Praise Jesus! Birth was a terrifying experience with my first two, not only did He turn my third birth around but was able to show His merciful character through it.” – Elliot Family
