What families say

Shira and Yaffa are amazing doulas. I would recommend every woman to engage with them for their birthing needs. I am the one with 2 C-sections and one vacuum extracted VBAC was dreaming of unmedicated natural birth.

★★★★★ — Alena, 2024-07

My husband and I just took our last birthing class with Shira and found the whole experience to be incredibly valuable. Shira and her sister Yaffa are incredibly generous, I learned so much from them and feel so much more prepared than I would have otherwise.

★★★★★ — Shannon, 2025-09

I provide postpartum doula services for Boston Birth Village and think the community is so incredibly lucky to have this resource. They are 100% invested in making the experience of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum be a positive one.

★★★★★ — Ronnie, 2024-10

BBV has been so helpful in our journey to being first time parents! Shira and Yaffa, sister owners of this wonderful community, are knowledgeable, well-connected, and so kind. My partner and I first got to know Boston Birth Village through a prenatal class run by Shira.
