Bushra Birthing Doula Services

Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

My name is Asima Umm Ibrahim and i live with my husband and three children in Sydney, Australia. I am a Nakhlah Childbirth Student Doula. Bushra Birthing is a Muslim Doula service developed from my love of childbirth and all things pregnancy related. Seeing the sisterhood around me and hearing the beautiful experiences other sisters have had with their Muslim Doulas only grew my passion to help others with their births and pregnancies.
My Journey towards becoming a doula started with my entry into a bachelor of nursing degree in 2008. At the time my only way of successfully beginning a career in midwifery was through this degree. After a few weeks of having been enrolled in the semester I found out I was pregnant with my first and so my journey into Motherhood began and I left my degree knowing I would one day be back serving my sisters in one way or another.
After my first child was born not far behind came my second and my lifestyle was dedicated to rearing my beautiful babies into this big wide world. In the meantime I studied counselling through correspondence and learned our beautiful deen at local madrassahs for sisters.
My first introduction into the ‘doulaing’ world was in my third pregnancy through a beautiful sister who was well into her journey as a doula. The innumerable support, love and knowledge she provided me with was far more than I initially expected and it grew my love for this rewarding support I could re gift to others.
As your doula and sister in Islam I will be responsible for ensuring your needs and birth preferences are priority, providing you with emotional, spiritual, physical and informational advice on your pregnancy, labour and post birth experience.
JazakumAllahu Khayran.
