Hello, I’m Amina. I was born and raised in Los Angeles County. I live with my partner, our son, and our two cats, Periwinkle and Teetee. I am also blessed to be part of a large Muslim community in Southern California, which gives me a sense of belonging and connection.
My journey into birthwork began with the birth of my own child in 2017. After finding out about my pregnancy just two weeks after my mother’s passing, I was looking for a birth team that would support and empower me through this difficult time, and I found that at a local birth center. The care I received there by midwives and doulas inspired me to become a doula myself and help others in the same way. I attended my first birth in 2018 and became formally certified in 2020, and now I am a full spectrum doula ad student midwife. I have assisted with home births, birth center births and hospital births, providing me with a diverse range of experiences and expertise.I believe birth is one of the most transformative events in any birthing person’s life. I believe that if a person feels empowered and confident in their birth, they will carry that with them for the rest of their life. My favorite part of being a doula is providing a safe and supportive space for my clients to let their walls down and have a deep meaningful connection with their emotions and journey.
I am most inspired by the strong and confident women in my life. They taught me to speak up for those who cannot, be confident in who I am, and love unconditionally. My long-term goal is to become a licensed midwife so that I can continue to serve and empower marginalized communities in even more ways.
