She has been serving the birthing community since the birth of her first son in 2015.

Mijanou believes in the harmony of the delivery space and the empowering nature of birthing, guided by a heightened sense of spirituality.

The Chariot Childbirth, is inspired by the tarot's Chariot card. In tarot, the Chariot represents a journey of triumph through control and determination. It signifies balance, harnessing opposing forces, and steering them towards victory. Rooted in nature, emotions, and stability, We advocate for being a fearless force in the birthing experience, ready to face challenges with confidence and power.
