Miriam is a wife, mother of five and a grandmother of two. Her family remains at the heart of her purpose and practice.She began formal midwifery training at the Midwives College of Utah in January 2022 and received her Bachelor of Science in Midwifery in 2026. Her education was not only academic — it was lived, breathed, and practiced within community. She had the blessed opportunity to learn from remarkable community midwives across Los Angeles and San Diego, training in both home birth and birth center settings.

 

Her preceptors remain dear colleagues and teachers:Bianca “Tema” Mercado & Alix Medina (La Matriz Birth Services),Faith Freeman (Mind Body Birth Center),Katie Hamilton (Mama Nurtured Birth),and Allegra Hill & Hiroko Aoyagi (Kindred Space LA).Under their guidance, Miriam completed over 1,500 hands-on clinical hours, supporting countless birthing families and gaining extensive experience in reproductive health, prenatal and postpartum care, labor support, lactation, trauma-informed care, and community-centered wellness.

​

Throughout the years, her calling has led her to support all birthing bodies and all birthing outcomes — always in a manner that honors each person’s lineage, their wishes, and their lives. Her care blends unbiased, evidence-informed practice with the ancestral ways of her Zapotec/Mestiza roots and the innate traditions of this land.

 

​“I walk in this role of a partera and midwife humbly and wholeheartedly, honoring those who came before me, those here now, and those yet to come.”
