Greetings! I am Shiphrah (Shif-rah)! I am a Licensed and Professional Home birth Midwife serving the carolina’s. I am also an herbalist, lactation consultant and traditional postpartum practitioner. I have 11 years of birth experience and 5 years studying midwifery. I am a wife and mother of 6. I have experience giving birth in hospitals, birthing centers and at home (Home is my favorite). I promise to be compassionate and treat your family with care. I have a skilled team waiting to serve you! I offer preconception, prenatal and birth support. I offer water birth as well! You do not have to leave your home for care. Don't be a stranger, reach out for questions.

I have given birth three times and though each birth experience was vastly different, they have something in common – I will never forget them. I would love for every woman to have a special and meaningful childbirth experience. My experiences many years ago first led me to lactation peer counseling and postpartum support. My passion to serve and empower women led to becoming a birth doula, and eventually a midwife. I am certified through the North American Registry of Midwives as a Certified Professional Midwife and hold a Midwifery Bridge Certificate. I am also licensed as a midwife in the state of South Carolina. I believe birth is a natural, hormonally driven process from the onset of labor through birth of the baby and placenta, as well as the establishment of breastfeeding and the development of mother-baby attachment. To support the natural birth process, women need informational, emotional, and physical support, as well as minimal external interference.

As for me, I am deeply passionate about serving others and facilitating meaningful connections. With a background in psychology and a commitment to lifelong learning, I approach each interaction with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact. Whether it's through providing support as a doula, engaging in enriching conversations, or offering guidance and encouragement, I strive to uplift and empower those around me. My philosophy revolves around the belief that every individual possesses inherent worth and potential, and through compassion and understanding, we can cultivate environments where everyone can thrive and flourish.
