Sumayyah Giddins
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, my name is Sumayyah (Umm Omar).
I am a doula graduate of Nakhlah Childbirth International.
I am manager of Mother Nourished and one of the directors of Nakhlah Childbirth International. I am also a Mizan Therapist and passionate about natural alternative medicines.
I currently live in Sydney Australia. I reverted to Islam in 2001. My passions in life are attaining Islamic knowledge, raising my children and offering comfort and care through childbirth to my beloved sisters in Islam.
When I became Muslim I understood that I inherited many many sisters from all around the world and I finally felt I found that large family I always wanted. I am always trying to think of ways to connect with my sisters and offer them my help.
Before I was a trained doula I was asked by many sisters if I would attend their births. I was honoured that they asked and of course I accepted. I found that the births were an amazing experience and one that brought me closer to Allah.
I also realised that a labouring woman needs to be focused and not have to worry about anything else except remembrance of Allah and the birth of the gift He Allah SWT has given her. I tried to facilitate that for her and found that I was able to benefit them in ways that they would be forever thankful.
After this period I met an amazing sister who was referred to as "The Muslim Doula" and at the time it was almost unheard of among our community. After getting to know "The Muslim Doula", I fell in love and she is now my soul sister and partner in crime. I witnessed her passion for birth, coupled with her passion to help her sisters and I decided to enroll in the doula training course she was running. I thought if I continue to assist my sisters in birth, why not learn from the best!
I completed my course at the end of 2015 and became a graduate of Nakhlah Childbirth International and now have all the tools I need to assist my sisters in their birth experience. Since then I have attended almost 100 births!
To all my sisters, I love for the sake of Allah.
Barak Allahu feekun

Aya Halaby
My name is Aya Halaby, I am a birth and postpartum Doula.
Being one of the youngest from a large family, my teenage years involved lots of baby bumps and helping my older siblings care for their newborn babies. Pregnancy, birth and babies have always been a big part of my life and after hearing the struggles of those I care about during there birthing experience, I felt inspired to become a doula.
Giving birth is a life transforming event, one that may imprint on you forever. My dream for the women I work with would be, for them to feel nurtured, respected and supported every step of the way. So that they can feel confident and prepare for a positive birth experience, as they define it. I support mothers (and fathers) in their choices, providing unbiased information so that they can come to their own conclusions and make informed decisions that suit them and their family.
My philosophy is to inform, inspire and support expectant parents to have a safe, satisfying and positive experience as they transition into parenthood. My overall aim as a birthing and postpartum doula is to help the mother experience a positive labour and birth for a gentle transition into motherhood.

Hamida Farache
Assalamualaykum!
My name is Hamida, I am a prenatal, birth and postpartum doula. I’ve studied to become a doula through ‘Nakhlah Childbirth International’.
My long term dream goal is to become a midwife inshaa'Allah, but for now I have been blessed with the opportunity of becoming a doula to support families throughout their precious journeys of pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
I’ve always been passionate about pregnancy, birth and babies but my passion grew even more during my own personal pregnancies and births (caesarean and VBAC) , and I came to appreciate how overwhelming it can be to not feel supported during these irreplaceable times, so that’s when I decided I wanted to become a doula! To support and positively enhance birth experiences of women.
Supporting mothers during the most valuable times of their lives, means everything to me and I love to witness the miracle in a pregnancy and birth, it truly is something that will never stop to continue amazing me, it reminds me of how great Allah swt our Creator is.
As my experience continues to grow my deep trust and understanding in the physiology of pregnancy and birth continues to grow, and I believe that every woman has the right to have her emotional needs respected and met.
I aim to help women explore options to achieving their dream birth, whether it’s for a VBAC, induction birth, home birth, unmedicated birth or caesarean birth. I also aim to support them to trust their own instincts as mothers.
It truly is an honour to come alongside sisters as they discover what each birth will mean to them while welcoming their baby earth side feeling knowledgeable and empowered.

Jemimah Hawatt
My name is Jemimah, I am a doula and nursing student.
I am very passionate about supporting, educating and nurturing women throughout their journeys as they bloom into motherhood. This includes fertility support (I am also a Mizan Womb Therapist), pregnancy, birth and postpartum support.
I believe positive birthing creates the foundation of wellness and loving relationships in a family.
When women learn about the physiological processes of birth, and the perfection of Allah swt’s creation- they are able to have birth experiences that are empowering, informed and prepared for.
Birth is not just about bringing a baby into the world, but rather- a mother, and father- are also born.
I also have a background working with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which enables me to support pregnant women with disabilities. In all birthing circumstances, I believe women deserve to have a doula.

Zainab Ismail
My name is Zainab ismail and I have a background in health science, I am also interested in all things natural. I became a doula as I was inspired by Umm Omar. Whenever we were together she was always very passionate about her job and also a firm believer in natural holistic care.
I have always wanted to be able to heal my body naturally first, and I saw becoming a doula as the stepping stone to understanding my body and it’s needs.
Being a doula has given me the opportunity to empower other women and their families, I am merely passing down a beautiful history that has unfortunately become forgotten in our current world of medicine as the cure to everything. Our bodies were made perfectly for birthing, and for me sharing this knowledge is more so a duty than an obligation.
