about us

Birthing Muslimah

Birthing Muslimah is an initiative founded by two qualified midwives with a passion for supporting women and dedicated to providing Muslim women with tailored, culturally sensitive care and empowering them through the beautiful and challenging transitions of pre-conception, pregnancy, labour and birth, postpartum and loss.

Some may ask: why is Birthing Muslimah tailored specifically to Muslim women? The answer lies in the heart of our faith. Islam is not just a religion; it is a way of life, guiding us through the smallest choices and the most profound moments. When it comes to something as sacred as childbirth, many Muslim women find strength, hope, and clarity in their connection with Allah. Through this bond, they place their trust in His plans, find courage in uncertainty, and discover peace in entrusting their hopes and desires to Him. As Muslims ourselves, we understand this deeply and feel called to provide a space where these experiences are not only understood but nurtured. Who better to lead this initiative than women who share this faith and the desire to uplift others through it? That being said, Birthing Muslimah is not limited to muslim women, our doors will always be open to every woman who resonates with our vision.
