Meet Miranda Tepe
Miranda Tepe is a birth doula, postpartum doula and postpartum placenta specialist. We are thrilled to have her on our team. Today, we get to know her a little better.
Why did you become a doula?
After guiding a friend through her late pregnancy, labor, and at home postpartum care, I realized that the whole time I was being a doula and it was what I was meant to do with my life.
What do you love most about being a doula?
I most love seeing the empowerment that women and partners gain through their experience.
Tell us more about your family.
My husband of 3 years John, is a sheriff deputy in Hamilton county. Together we have 4 children, Keagan(9), Cameron(4), Kenley(2), Clara(10m) and 2 dogs.
What's your why? Doula work can be draining, physically and emotionally. Why do you do it?
I struggled for a long time with what I wanted to do with my life as far as careers. I found doula work and after leaving my first client, I had an overwhelming feeling of 'This is what I was meant to do.' I love what I do, so it's never work.
Honestly, do you really like placenta encapsulation?
I thoroughly enjoy the entire process of encapsulation. I especially enjoy spending time with the family after just coming home from the hospital...being able to help them adjust and answer any questions they may have.
