With a background in Jewish Studies, History, and an ongoing Ph.D. in Jewish Gender History, I bring a unique perspective to birth work. My academic training keeps me engaged with the latest research, and my understanding of gender informs my approach to care. I continuously deepen my knowledge, recognizing that birth work is a lifelong learning process.

My Journey into Birth Work

When I became pregnant for the first time, I felt both excitement and uncertainty. Navigating the Israeli maternity system was unfamiliar, and I found myself searching for information and support that truly resonated with me. Like many, I had absorbed the idea that birth was something to endure rather than something to prepare for with intention. But as I learned more, my perspective shifted—I began to see birth as an embodied experience, something to engage with rather than just get through.

I followed my curiosity, diving into research, physiology, and the lived experiences of birthing people. The more I learned, the more I realized how much birth preparation could change the way people enter labor—not by guaranteeing a specific outcome, but by fostering a deeper sense of trust in the body and in the process.

Over time, this became more than just a personal interest. I felt drawn to birth work in a way that went beyond my own experience—I wanted to share what I had learned, not as someone who had all the answers, but as someone who could offer knowledge, presence, and care. I started as an educator and later trained as a doula, bringing together evidence-based tools with an understanding of birth as both a physical and deeply personal experience.

For me, birth work is about supporting. Every person approaches birth with their own history, emotions, and needs. My role is to offer steady, informed guidance, helping families step into birth and parenthood with a sense of confidence.
