Fatima Zorah

My work centers on preparing the heart and the body for birth in a way that is free from fear, free from industrial medical narratives, and grounded in certainty in Allah’s wisdom and decree. I guide women to understand the physiology of undisturbed birth, to strengthen their iman and yaqeen, and to approach motherhood as an act of worship rather than a medical event. I support sisters who desire a homebirth or freebirth (unassisted birth at home), who are navigating pregnancy outside of the system, healing from past birth experiences, or preparing their hearts for birth with clarity and spiritual steadiness. I also serve women who are seeking to reclaim their authority, their trust in Allah’s design, and their confidence as mothers rooted in tawheed rather than fear.

Fatima is an extraordinary Traditional Doula. She is so wise, warm, and deeply knowledgeable. She guided me through two pregnancies with such care, support, and gentle encouragement, always reminding me of Allah and helping me stay grounded, confident, and connected to the sacredness of each moment. Her kindness, warmth, and radiant personality make every interaction uplifting and comforting! Fatima’s guidance is both practical and deeply spiritual (perfectly balanced), and she truly walks beside you with presence and heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough, any mother would be incredibly blessed to have Fatima by her side throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond!!

My name is Ashke. I serve families in the Bloomington, Indiana area as a perinatal guide. I am a mother, educator, herbalist, nutritionist, and doula dedicated to supporting women through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I combine my experience and knowledge of traditional birth wisdom and clinical western herbalism based in the tradition of Vitalism to guide families through this important time. After birthing my son at home, I felt the call to help other women navigate through their experience of pregnancy and birth. I bring a holistic approach to my work, grounded in the values of informed consent, inclusivity, and compassionate care. I completed my doula training with Birthing from Within and did a one year apprenticeship with experienced doulas in Colorado Springs. I am a Certified Clinical Herbalist and Nutritionist through the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism. I also offer TRE (Trauma & Tension Release Exercises) as part of my practice. TRE is a transformative type of bodywork that allows the body to release patterns of tension and stress stored in the body. I offer this to birthing parents both prenatally and postpartum. I now serve families in the Bloomington, Indiana area.

Ashke and I went to herbalism school together so I know that she’s a very wise woman and genuine soul which is why I chose her to be my doula. She was very communicative and personable during my pregnancy. I also appreciate that she has been there for me throughout my postpartum journey as well! I highly recommend her for your doula journey.

Hi! My name is Mariama, thanks for visiting Rahma Maternal Services. As a Doula, I launched Rahma Maternal Services because I’m passionate and dedicated to supporting families during one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. With specialized training (attained certification from DONA International) and a deep commitment to women, I offer personalized care and support to expectant mothers and their partners as they prepare for birth and beyond. It’s with pride and joy that I make sure no woman is left behind. I wholeheartedly believe every birthing person deserves a Doula. Additionally: coming from a multicultural background gave me the opportunity to connect and build relationships with people from all walks of life. I speak 4 Languages - French, Arabic, Fulani, and English. I live in Indy with my husband and a Hoosier at heart ( I'm a proud IU-Bloomington Graduate). Finally: I have experience working with VBACk moms, First-time mamas, natural unmedicated birth, medicated birth, and all in between. Let’s work together to create a plan that meets your unique needs for childbirth and beyond. I provide services in Indianapolis and the greater area. I’m also available to provide services virtually. I would love to hear from you and work with you. See my social media pages for client reviews! :) Message me to book a FREE consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
