What does Shifrah’S Sisters mean?

"Shifrah" comes from the Hebrew root, "the capacity to make something better." Improving birth has been my passion since 2002 and is the energy that I bring to the world and to my home birth midwifery practice. Shifrah and Puah were a mother-daughter team of midwives in the book of Exodus. Their legacy as strong women who listened to G-d and their hearts inspires me. I am awed knowing that I am a link in the tradition of midwifery that has been passed from generation to generation. Being part of the continuum of motherhood is a source of strength for me and for my clients. "Sisters" is about the sisterhood of women and birthers serving and supporting each other. I have been blessed with two gentle and empowering births—one at a freestanding birth center and one at home in water—attended by midwives and I am forever grateful for my experiences. It brings me joy to help your family create a sacred, transformative birth journey that will be treasured forever.
