Mira is a seasoned yoga instructor and licensed massage therapist with many certifications in corrective exercise and specializing in pre and post-natal adaptation and comfort measures. Mira is a mother to three (now adult) children and first fell in love with supporting the birthing mother when she was invited to assist her sister’s first birth thirteen years ago. It was an exhilarating and beautiful experience to witness and be a part of birth from a totally different role, Mira used her expertise in yoga breathing and massage to support her sister. More recently, her sister asked her to be her doula once again; this time, a home birth, so Mira decided to begin the process of obtaining her certification through DONA International. She is calm and steady in the moments where she is needed most, she has a comforting touch and eye contact that adds confidence to the birthing mother and her partner. Mira is committed to being the source of reassurance and advocating for the choices that the birthing mother makes on an individualized, non-judgmental, and client centered basis.
