About Miriam Parks

Natural Birth Coach and Doula in Atlanta

Welcoming a child is one of the most powerful and transformative moments in life.

Every parent deserves to feel safe, supported, and empowered during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. At Miriam Parks Natural Birth Coach and Doula, I dedicate my work to providing families with the tools, knowledge, and presence they need to embrace the beauty of natural birth.

As families in Sugar Hill and the greater Atlanta area search for a “doula near me”, I am here to offer compassionate care that combines practical education with emotional guidance. My role as a doula is not only about being present during birth, it’s about walking alongside you throughout your journey, ensuring you feel prepared, respected, and deeply supported.

My Story
The Journey to Becoming a Doula

Like many in the birth work community, my path began with a passion for nurturing others and a deep belief in the power of informed choice. Over time, I realized that so many families go through pregnancy without the kind of support that makes them feel confident and calm.

That realization pushed me to dedicate myself fully to birth work. Today, I proudly serve as both a natural birth coach and a doula in Atlanta, supporting families with in person labor doula services, birth education Atlanta classes, and birth support partner classes that prepare everyone involved in the birth experience.

For me, this work is not just a profession, it is a calling. Each family I work with teaches me something new, and every birth reaffirms my belief that pregnancy and labor can be an empowering experience.

My Philosophy of Care

Childbirth is not just a medical event. It is an emotional, physical, and spiritual journey. My philosophy is centered on the belief that when families feel informed, respected, and supported, they are more likely to have positive and memorable birth experiences.

I build my practice around four core values:

Empowerment

I help parents trust their instincts, believe in their strength, and approach labor with confidence.

Compassion

I create a judgment-free space where you are heard, supported, and encouraged.

Education

I provide families with knowledge through birth education in Atlanta, so they can make decisions that reflect their values and goals.

Inclusivity

As a woman-owned business, I welcome families from all backgrounds, honoring every story with respect.

With these values at the heart of my care, I ensure that families feel not only prepared but also deeply respected and celebrated throughout their journey.

Services That Support Your Birth Journey

Every family’s needs are unique, which is why I provide a range of services designed to fit your preferences. Whether you want full doula support during labor, coaching sessions before the big day, or education for your birth partner, I am here to help.

In Person Labor Doula Services

Labor is intense, and having the right support changes everything. My in person labor doula services include continuous emotional, physical, and informational support from the moment you call me until your baby is born.

I use comfort techniques such as massage, movement, relaxation, and breathing guidance to ease discomfort and encourage progress. At the same time, I support your birth partner so they can feel confident and present during labor. Together, we create a calm, empowering environment no matter where you give birth, in a hospital, at a birth center, or at home.

Natural Birth Coaching in Atlanta

Not everyone chooses to have a doula present during labor, but that doesn’t mean you need to navigate this journey alone. My natural birth coaching in Atlanta sessions provide personalized guidance that prepares you for birth mentally, emotionally, and physically.

We work together to:

  • Build confidence in your body’s ability to give birth naturally.

  • Practice techniques for staying grounded during contractions.

  • Develop a birth plan that reflects your values.

  • Navigate common hospital protocols with ease.

These coaching sessions are flexible and tailored to your specific needs, helping you feel empowered and ready when labor begins.

Birth Education Atlanta

Knowledge is one of the strongest tools you can have when preparing for childbirth. My birth education classes in Atlanta provide families with evidence-based information to reduce fear and build confidence.

These classes cover:

  • The stages of labor and what to expect at each point.

  • Pain relief methods, including natural options.

  • Hospital and birthing center policies.

  • Newborn care and the postpartum recovery process.

Because both parents benefit from understanding these topics, I encourage partners to attend as well. In fact, many of my families also choose to take my birth support partner classes, which provide hands-on preparation for labor.

Birth Support Partner Classes

Labor isn’t just about the birthing person, it’s about the family. Partners play an essential role, yet many feel unsure of how to help when the time comes. My birth support partner classes are designed to empower your partner with confidence, knowledge, and hands-on skills.

During these classes, we practice:

  • Effective massage and positioning techniques.

  • Encouraging communication methods.

  • Practical ways to advocate for your wishes.

These sessions ensure that your partner feels prepared, included, and capable of supporting you throughout labor and delivery.

Postpartum Support and Guidance

Support doesn’t end when the baby is born. I also offer postpartum check-ins to help you navigate recovery, emotional changes, and the transition into parenthood. These sessions give you space to ask questions, reflect on your experience, and receive reassurance as you adjust to life with your new baby.

Serving Sugar Hill and the Metro Atlanta Area

Families in Sugar Hill, Gwinnett County, Forsyth, Hall, Barrow and across Metro Atlanta trust me to provide reliable, compassionate support. Whether you’re giving birth at home or at one of Atlanta’s many hospitals or birthing centers, I bring calm, knowledgeable guidance right where you need it.

When families search for a “doula near me”, they want someone who understands both local resources and the unique needs of their community. That is exactly what I provide, local expertise paired with heart-centered care.

Why Families Choose Me

There are many doulas in Atlanta, but families choose to work with me for several reasons:

  • Personalized Care: I take time to understand your goals, preferences, and concerns.

  • Holistic Approach: I combine emotional, physical, and informational support.

  • Inclusivity: I respect and celebrate families from all walks of life.

    Local Knowledge: I know Atlanta’s hospitals, providers, and birth community.

  • Compassionate Presence: Families describe my care as grounding, supportive, and empowering.

Because of this, parents feel confident not just during labor but throughout the entire journey.

My Commitment to You

Birth work is deeply personal, and I consider it an honor every time a family invites me into their journey. My commitment to you is to provide support that is rooted in respect, compassion, and empowerment.

Whether you choose my in person labor doula services, attend my birth education Atlanta classes, or connect with me through natural birth coaching in Atlanta, my goal is always the same: to help you feel prepared, supported, and proud of your birth story.

Let’s Walk This Path Together

Your birth experience should reflect your strength, your values, and your choices. With compassionate doula care, personalized coaching, and empowering education, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
