Birth Support
I am the person in the room whose only job is you.
Not the baby's heart rate, not the chart, not the shift change.
You.
I provide emotional support, physical comfort, and the information you need to make confident decisions, and I've done it across two continents and over 100 births.
Available Packages
Private insurance: I am currently listed in the Carrot directory and pre-approved through them. Check with your employer if this benefit is offered to you as part of your contract. If pricing is an issue, please do still reach out. I offer discounts and payment plans for families of various backgrounds.
Every doula packages come inclusive of 10 professionally captured and edited photos. I take and edit the photos myself. As a birth photographer, it brings me so much joy to photograph birth, and I feel this is a natural extension of my services.

We meet for coffee, pick your favorite shop and I'll meet you there, or we can do it virtually if that's easier.
Take a few days to decide. I'd rather you be certain than quick. If you find you have a full-body “yes”, I'll send my contract to review.
After that, your date is secured on my calendar. A 50% deposit reserves your spot, with the balance due four weeks before your due date. Payment plans are available to all families, if needed. To help ensure all families have access to doula care, I provide a need-based discount for lower-income households. I also offer discounts to home birth families. Contact me to learn more about eligibility.
If you’re ever unsure, please reach out anyway.We meet at least twice before labor where we go over birth preparation, baby care and postpartum. Some of the things we will explore include (but are not limited to) going over your birth preferences, learning about labor, discussing any fears or concerns you may have and how to deal with them, learning different ways to cope with labor, working with partners to teach hand-on labor support, etc
I go on-call 24/7 the minute you hit 38 weeks until you have your baby. From the moment we become a team, you have unlimited access to me by text, phone or email, so if there is anything on your mind, feel free to always reach out.
On the day of your labor, I will stay with you throughout labor and birth until one to two hours after the birth of the baby.
We meet again for a postpartum session within the first month after the birth to see how you and baby are doing, and to debrief the birth.

Education and Planning
Birth is both a physical process and a sacred passage. My private childbirth classes prepare you for both.
You'll learn how labor actually works: the hormones, the stages, the evidence behind your options, and how to make informed decisions with your care team. We'll also make space for what the textbooks leave out: your fears, your hopes, and your trust in Allah as you prepare to meet your baby. Worry isn't a sign you're unprepared. It's part of the preparation, and we'll work with it rather than around it.
Every class is private, just you and your support person, and shaped around your pregnancy, your values, and your questions.

A full day of focused preparation for families who want thorough, private childbirth education in a single session. We'll cover:
How labor works: the physiology of contractions, hormones, and the stages of birth
Coping with intensity: breathing, relaxation, and hands-on practice to find what actually works for you
Your partner's role: how to stay calm, protect the environment, and offer real support
Informed decision-making: common interventions, your options, and how to ask the right questions
When birth takes a different path: induction, cesarean, and meeting the unexpected with steadiness
The first hours after birth and early recovery
What to expect postpartum: physical recovery, emotional changes, and the first weeks at home, so nothing catches you off guard
Birth as a spiritual passage: reflection, intention, and preparing your heart as well as your mind
You'll leave with a coping toolkit, a partner support guide, a one-page birth preferences sheet built around what matters most to your family, and a postpartum preparation guide to read and plan with at home.

Everything in the intensive, with more room to practice, reflect, and integrate what you learn between sessions. This series also includes Body Ready Method® movement and positioning work:
Daily movement to prepare your body: pelvic mobility, breath, and a pelvic floor that can both support and release
How the pelvis opens at each stage of labor, and positions that help your baby descend
Hands-on partner training: counterpressure, supported positions, and knowing which move to use when
Positions for back labor, a stalled labor, or laboring with an epidural
Postpartum preparation: what recovery really looks like, emotional changes to watch for, and how to plan support for the weeks after birth
Postpartum movement: gentle exercises to reconnect your core and pelvic floor from day one
Four weeks gives you time to build habits, not just gather information. By your due date, the breathing, movement, and partner support will feel familiar, and you'll have a plan for the weeks after birth, not just the birth itself. You'll also take home a postpartum preparation guide to work through together.
