As a Quad Cities home birth midwife, I believe birth is safest when families feel informed, supported, and deeply respected.

Care must be unrushed, evidence-based, and centered on you.

I’m Miranda!

A licensed home birth midwife, home birth mom of three, black cat lover, and world traveler at heart.

My path to midwifery began far from home. While living and working in Nepal from 2011–2013, I witnessed firsthand the profound need for skilled, compassionate care in underserved communities. That experience stayed with me and ultimately shapes the work I do today.

Our home is a bilingual, bicultural household. I’m Latina, my husband is from Mexico, so language, culture, and access matter deeply in the way I care for families. I believe everyone deserves respectful, evidence-based care,  no matter their background. 

I began attending births in 2019 after completing a full-spectrum doula training through BADT and a postpartum provider training with Innate Traditions. I then went on to complete my midwifery training through the North American Registry of Midwives. I completed my requirements in winter of 2023, became nationally certified, and was licensed in 2024. In 2025, I opened Foundations Midwifery to offer families relationship-based, mindful home birth care rooted in trust and autonomy.

I am certified in BLS and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP), and trained in birth emergency skills,  breech birth, and suturing. 

My favorite moments in this work are often the quiet ones: reminding a birthing person of their strength and tucking new parents into bed after birth, knowing they did something powerful.
