Village Stories

"Thank you Yaffa and Shira for creating this village! Our community is a better place because of it and because of you!"

"What you built is incredible and Ravid did an incredible job. I really am enjoying this group!"

"I made new friends in the same stage of life as me, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you Boston Birth Village for supporting me as a new mom!"

"I remember thinking "This sounds like it could be a great fit..." and I was absolutely proven right! This group has been one of the most memorable and meaningful parts of my parental leave."

"Shira's childbirth education course was pivotal in helping my wife and I to prepare for her labor. It allowed us to unify around a set of expectations, possible outcomes, and hoped for results. When it came to my wife's labor I was prepared to give her exactly the support she wanted and needed. I highly recommend this course and Shira as an instructor!"

"Shira was the most invaluable guiding resource from pregnancy, to labor, to post partum. She was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive in navigating preferences and options, as well as mitigating and balancing familial relationships. She gave us so many tools to have a successful, safe, meaningful, and joyful birth experience both for the birthing person and the support partner. We truly could not have managed without her."

"Having Shira as part of our birth was extremely helpful and we are so grateful!!"

"All the birth experts recommended hiring a doula, and we’re so glad we did! Shira is an experienced mom, and she has a wealth of helpful information."

"Shira was perfect for our birth and we had everything we needed."

'Shira was an indispensable part of our labor and delivery experience. I was hoping to minimize medical interventions during birth, including foregoing an epidural, and with Shira's support, this felt possible.
