Allison Miller, MPH
Goals Coursework Outside the Classroom CV
Allison Miller is a birth and postpartum doula, a childbirth educator, a midwife’s assistant, and a student midwife in Birmingham, Alabama. After completing her Master’s in Public Health with a focus in Maternal and Child Health and International Health, she saw a disconnect between policy and the ability to actually help individual families. Allison, fueled by a passion for empowering people with information and choice, began her path as a doula after realizing that universally there was a lack of dignity and respect for birthing individuals in the labor room. She trained through DONA in 2009 and certified through Doula Trainings International (DTI) as a birth and postpartum doula in 2016. In 2017, she certified as a Childbirth Educator through DTI. In 2019 she became a birth assistant for local midwife and in January 2021 began her career as a student midwife at Midwifery College of Utah.
