Childbirth Educator, Birth Coach
Certified Advanced Doula

Mijanou has over a decade of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

Her work centers on education as a tool for empowerment—offering clear, evidence-based guidance while honoring the emotional, intuitive, and relational aspects of the childbearing experience. Since 2015, Mijanou has supported families through private education, group workshops, and community-based programming, with a focus on informed decision-making, nervous-system support, and building confidence in one’s body and instincts.

With a background in creative movement, music, and somatic support, and informed by both professional practice and lived experience as a parent, Mijanou brings a grounded, thoughtful presence to her work. She creates learning spaces that are structured yet spacious, inclusive, and designed to support a wide range of needs—from analytical thinkers to deeply intuitive families.

At the heart of her approach is a belief that when people feel informed, respected, and genuinely supported, they are better able to trust themselves and move through birth with clarity and agency.
