Royan Miller

Birth & Postpartum Doula, Sleep Instructor, IBCLC

Royan is known as a sleep fairy. Some of her major focuses are setting up healthy sleep habits, infant soothing, and setting the family up for a successful recovery. As an IBCLC, she works with breastfeeding and formula-fed babies.

Royan came into the world of doula-ing from a medical introduction. She attended both physical therapy and nursing school but was introduced to being a doula by accident. This happened when a friend was staying with her and went into labor. Royan ended up delivering the baby and was immediately struck by the life-changing event. While still studying physical therapy, she endeavored to find a field that focused on mothers and babies. When a nurse introduced her to the term doula, she knew that she had found a part of her soul. She left the world of physical therapy and nursing and knew that it was the field for her. She was trained by DONA as a postpartum doula first and the following year sat training to be a labor doula. That was almost three decades ago.

She uses her knowledge of anatomy and physiology as well as massage and pressure points to help laboring persons and their partners or support persons. She believes that with knowledge and trust in one’s body, labor can be as it is designed.
She has worked as a full spectrum doula with every type of delivery. She is an eternal student and loves learning new things. She also enjoys sharing this knowledge and teaching new parents.

She considers being a doula not as a job but rather as a calling.
