Carson Ragan CNM

Carson was born in Georgia, spent most of her childhood growing up in Birmingham, Alabama. She started her family at a very young age, and after her second child was born emergently three months premature, she knew she wanted to be a L&D or nursery nurse, so she returned to Georgia to attend Columbus State University for her undergraduate nursing degree. While in nursing school she gave birth to her third child under the care of a certified nurse midwife (CNM). Immediately, she knew that was exactly she wanted to become: a certified nurse midwife.

She graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1999 and immediately began working in her favorite area of nursing, Labor & Delivery. Over the years as an L&D nurse, she felt honored to provide care to thousands of families during one of the most intimate and memorable events in their lives. Before starting graduate school to become a CNM, she also pursued an internship and worked a few years as a Neonatal ICU nurse. It was important to her to learn more about what happened to the preemie and sick babies when they left the delivery room and how could she best educate and support her future patients as a CNM. After she gained years of bedside experience as a L&D/NICU nurse, charge nurse, CPR instructor and Nurse educator/Clinician, she finally went back to graduate school to pursue her dream. She graduated from Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing in 2010 and began working as a Certified Nurse Midwife in our community.

Often as a provider, Carson would have patients scheduled back to back, sometimes double-booked, leaving very little time with each patient to assess, treat, educate, and bond. Patients would also become frustrated with long waiting room times while struggling to balance work, family, and frequent doctor’s office visits during their pregnancy.

So about six years ago, as a busy working mom of five children, and while working as a CNM in a large OB/GYN practice, Carson recognized a need for change and a desire for women to have the OPTION of convenient, quality healthcare delivered to them in their home or office.

Carson was born into a family of entrepreneurs and forward thinkers. The time and personal experience of both being an expectant mother and working as a provider in OB/GYN services created the dream of CHANGE. Thus, this unique concierge model of care was conceived, and over many years of research and planning is being delivered to our community.

In Carson’s time away from caring for her patients, she enjoys spending time with her amazing husband and five (almost grown) children, volunteering with her daughter’s volleyball teams, traveling, and scuba diving.

Miranda is a skilled and compassionate midwife who specializes in providing personalized, evidence-based care to women. Growing up just outside of Chicago, she began her career as a registered nurse, gaining invaluable experience in both a surgical ICU stepdown unit and a high-risk labor and delivery unit, where she worked alongside residents in a fast-paced hospital setting.

Initially planning to become a women’s health nurse practitioner, Miranda discovered her true passion for midwifery during her studies at Georgetown University, where she shifted her focus to supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Her commitment to physiologic birth was put into practice at the first freestanding birth center outside of St. Louis, where she provided care in an environment designed to foster safety, comfort, and trust in the birthing process. After relocating to Atlanta, Miranda served as a midwife hospitalist, caring for women in a hospital setting while maintaining a deep respect for the body’s natural ability to birth. Throughout her career, Miranda has held the firm belief that women’s bodies are innately designed for birth, and with the right support, they can confidently trust in this design.

As a concierge midwife, Miranda offers individualized care tailored to each woman’s unique needs and preferences, with a focus on empowering women to make confident, informed choices about their birth journey. Miranda is deeply passionate about creating birth experiences that honor women’s autonomy, intuition, and strength, ensuring that each woman feels supported and confident in her choices.
