OFFERING CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION, BIRTH & POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES IN BRYAN, COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS AND SURROUNDING AREAS
Birth is about celebrating
As a doula, I am there to fully support you in every way. You will be advocated for, confident asking for what you desire, & well prepared long before the first contraction. Not only are you bringing a baby into the world, but also a mother. It is the most joyous moment that you should be able to relish. Allow me to care for the small things that somehow make the biggest difference, like making sure your water cup is filled, your birth preferences are respected, and your husband is fed. Offering physical support and encouragement, I will come alongside you and your provider to make sure that you can soak in the moment and celebrate the day.
Did you know that the best time to hire a postpartum doula is when you hire your birth doula?
I know this won’t be shocking news, but you should prepare just as much for your postpartum season as you do for your birth. It’s often assumed that things will just fall into place, but this is not the case. Imagine walking through a full fourth trimester plan before your baby is even born to make sure that you will be nourished, your home will be tended to, and your boundaries will be upheld. A postpartum doula is like a hired grandma, with the addition of taking your healing and rest to the next level by drawing you an herbal bath and folding a load of laundry so you don’t have to. With the training, experience and resources, I can sit at your feet after you bring home your new bundle and listen to you in the most tender season. It’s time we take the fourth trimester seriously. Your body, mind and baby will thank you.
Childbirth Classes
Feeling fully educated during pregnancy, birth and postpartum is crucial to bringing new life into this world. I offer a variety of class options teaching the Birth Boot Camp curriculum that is laid out beautifully for you to walk out of class knowing exactly how to confidently make decisions. It is more than a method, it an evidence based course that sets you up for staying in control of your birth, no matter how unpredictable this process can be. You’re doing an incredible job growing your tiny human already! Let’s make sure you feel prepared for the rest of pregnancy, birth and life with your new baby!

Maybe you need to know a little bit about me before you invite me into your birth space.
My name is Miranda Slaydon!
I grew up in Bryan and now live out on a small homestead in Robertson county with my husband and two daughters + a few too many chickens and family milk cows! My love for caring for mothers and families through birth and their postpartum season grew deep after the birth of my own two girls. Becoming a certified doula was something that I researched a good bit, but finally jumped in with two feet when my brother and sister-in-law invited me into their beautiful birth space. This moment fanned the flame and I have been supporting mothers ever since.
Hiring birth and postpartum support can be a big decision. I want to make sure we are a great fit! That is why I offer free consultations so that you can tell me all about you, your birth goals and ask me all of your burning questions. Let’s grab lunch or coffee and likely become lifelong friends!
