Super exciting news!!!
I am now offering Placenta Casting 🌿✨

When I was asked to do this for a client, I immediately jumped on the opportunity and it came out amazing 😍

The placenta is so much more than an organ—it’s the sacred life source that nourishes and protects your baby throughout pregnancy. It represents connection, growth, and the incredible intelligence of the body.

I’m honored to now offer this as a way to honor and preserve this chapter of your journey.

Each cast is a unique, beautiful imprint of your placenta—a lasting keepsake to symbolize the life-giving connection between you and your baby. Whether you choose a raw, organic look or a custom-painted finish, your piece will reflect the deep meaning this moment holds for your family.

For many, placenta casting is a way to pause and reflect, to celebrate the unseen work of the body, and to carry forward a tangible memory of birth.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to create something special that honors your story. 🌸

Now booking placenta casting alongside encapsulation or as a stand-alone service.

Feel free to reach out with questions or to reserve your spot.

With love,
Shira

What an absolute honor it was to be alongside these two fierce women. Dr. Chandra Adams of and making some amazing changes in the birth world.

I, alongside other doulas and midwives had the opportunity to hear their stories, ideas and insights on how to create a safe, positive and holistic approach to birth.

I am so grateful to be in this space with such powerful women. Thank you for having us and helping us build a stronger future for all birthing families 🙏🏽

As a doula, I always strive to give my best when supporting families. I have moments where I wonder if I could have even done more and it is reviews like these that make me so happy. I take pride in making every mom and dad feel seen and prepared in ever stage from pregnancy, birth to postpartum and parenthood 🫶🏼

Hello everyone 👋🏼

Lots of new followers here so I would love to reintroduce myself 🩷

My name is Shira and I am originally from NY. That is where I began my journey into birth and postpartum. I did my certification with DONA in 2016 and have moved to Jacksonville in 2022. I have always been so passionate about supporting moms in all stages of from pregnancy to postpartum.

My passion and my why-

Since birth, my mother herself went through postpartum depression without knowing until later on in life. She expressed how hard it was at first to connect with me and the struggles she endured. Funny enough, I have always been attached to my mom. Her and I feel one another’s energy from a million miles away!

Literally 😅

This made me realize how important it was for me to be there for other moms experiencing postpartum and how connected I feel to each mother I mother as well as my own.

Each cycle from, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum has its purpose and beauty of it. This is why I love the full spectrum of motherhood so much.

Thank you to all the families who have chosen me to walk alongside them in their journey and for my current ones who are trusting me as well.

When I’m not doula-ing-I write poetry, play the drums, dance hip-hop, bachata and salsa, love being in nature, going to comedy shows, do karaoke, spend time at the beach, kayak, and do my FP training 🫶🏼

Yesterday was Mother’s Day and it dawned on me how blessed I am that I get the opportunity to hold mothers and babies all the time.

My time is coming to have my own as well, but for now I would love to tell you all about Lizzie ❤️

Lizzie has been a constant in my life since I turned 30. As a postpartum doula, before going into birth, I found myself a family the universe brought me to.

A family that forever changed my life. Lizzie is literally my first child. I raised Lizzie alongside her parent’s busy schedule from when she was a month old up until 5. Till this day at the age of 10, she is my best friend in the whole world. (Literally crying writing this btw)

From doctor appointments, to dinners, to school drop offs and pick ups, to her graduations, horse back riding lesson, you name it, I was her bonus mom.

She taught me and still continues to teach me, how to be present, soft and kind. She is beyond smart for her age and so darn talented. I’m amazed at her growth and forever grateful I have her in my life.

My mom always says that Lizzie is her first grandchild. When I got a reading done 3 years ago, she was brought up with no knowledge of who she was in my life. That is how much of an impact she has on me and my family.

Lizzie you are my world. I love you so much. I will always be blessed to be your bonus mom and best friend!

Love,
Your shi shi

Mom, I am forever grateful you are my mom. You are my rock and one of the most beautiful resilient person I know. Keep shining your light!

To my sister who’s celebrating her first of many Mother’s Day, watching you grow as a mom is such a gift. I am always in awe of your strength and wisdom. So grateful for you and proud to call you my sister.

I love you both so much. Happy Mother’s Day!
