Miriam Halliday

Midwife - BS, CPM, LM

Growing up in the UK, I was introduced to the beauty of midwifery at a young age, witnessing two of my siblings being born at home. Midwifery care is a standard part of life there, and it sparked a lifelong passion in me. Upon moving to the USA, I was shocked by the lack of postpartum care and support for physiological birth, which only deepened my resolve to be part of this crucial work.

After the birth of my son with the support of a midwife and doula, I knew I had to get involved. I trained as a doula and spent three years working primarily in hospitals as a patient advocate. During that time, I developed my own doula curriculum and began training doulas, helping to equip others to provide compassionate care. I also became a certified childbirth educator.

Midwife / Founder

In 2000, the birth of my son through a vacuum-assisted delivery left me feeling disempowered, but the support of an inspiring doula/nurse ignited my passion for birth work. I began attending births as a labor doula in 2001 and trained as a midwife’s assistant in 2004, eventually focusing on home births and working with midwives in Coeur d’Alene and Spokane from 2006-2010. Following a transformative internship in the Philippines in 2010, I completed my apprenticeship and clinical training, earned my CPM credential in 2011, and became Idaho’s 42nd licensed midwife.

My journey has been deeply shaped by both personal and professional experiences, including the empowering home birth of my daughter in 2005. I've grown my business over the years to include two birth centers, (We no longer have a birth center location in Post Falls Idaho,) and a team of midwives, assistants and students. We now have a licensed facility in Spokane Valley so that we can serve the local community and I am very proud of what we have accomplished over the years at Spokane River Midwives.
