Hi! I’m Julia Shirin, a Certified Birth Doula, Perinatal Patient Advocate, and Childbirth Educator. I’m also a mom. After eight pregnancies and births of my own, I’ve learned a thing or two about babies, birth, and the beautiful (and sometimes messy) journey of growing a family.
As a doula, I’m not afraid to think outside the box when it comes to comfort in labor. I’m happy to try creative or unconventional comfort measures, roll up my sleeves and get into the thick of things when labor gets intense, and I firmly believe that a little humor can go a long way. Birth is powerful and transformative, but it can also have moments of laughter and lightness—and I love helping families find both strength and joy in the experience.
I support home births, birth center births, and births in every hospital in the area. My passion is to encourage, educate and empower you to have your very best possible birth.
