Born With Barakah
How We Can
Work Together
Prenatal & Birth Support
Personalized support curated to your goals and comfort. I provide evidence-based assistance in a safe, non-judgmental space.
Informational Support
Helping you feel informed, prepared, and empowered.
In our prenatal sessions, you'll have dedicated time and space to explore what's weighing on you in regards to pregnancy & birth, different birthing positions to aid in the labour & delivery process, risks & benefits of different interventions, red flags to look out for, when to go to your birthing location, the stages of labour, different comfort measures to aid you in coping through labour, and your rights as a birthing person.
During labour & delivery, I will be there to support you and assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Physical Support
Bringing comfort, relief, and calm through physical support.
During pregnancy, this can include comfort measures like positioning suggestions for sleep and rest, gentle movement guidance, and practical ways to ease common discomforts as your body changes. During labour and birth, physical support becomes continuous hands-on care tailored to your needs in the moment. This may include comfort techniques such as counter-pressure for contractions, massage, hip support, breathing and positioning support, and creating a calming environment that helps your body work more efficiently. The goal is to help you feel safe, relaxed, and physically supported so your labour can unfold with more comfort and confidence.

Postpartum Support
Postpartum support focuses on helping you adjust to life after birth with care, reassurance, and practical help during a time of major physical and emotional change.
Mental Health
A postpartum doula can play an important role in supporting mental health during the early weeks and months after birth, a time when emotions can feel intense, unfamiliar, and constantly changing.
The aim is to acknowledge & validate negative feelings, scary thoughts, and burn out, while assisting parents in setting mental health based goals, through consistent emotional presence and non-judgmental support,

Baby Care
Sometimes, the most supportive thing for a new parent is the opportunity to truly rest. With a postpartum doula, that becomes possible. While you take time to sleep, recover, or care for yourself, your doula can attend to your baby with informed, attentive care—giving you peace of mind knowing your little one is in capable, trustworthy hands.

Household Chores
When prioritizing baby, it's easy to let chores go ignored, until your house is a complete mess, and you have no clean underwear.
A doula can make this postpartum transition a little easier by doing your household chores, so that you can focus all your time on taking care of yourself and baby.
