Hi, I’m Ali! A Philadelphia birth doula trained through Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings. My own births were the first healthcare experiences where I felt deeply listened to, respected, and trusted in my body, and that experience is a big part of what drew me to this work. I want the families I support to feel that same sense of dignity, confidence, and care - whatever their birth looks like. I believe there is no single right way to give birth. My role is to offer calm, compassionate, evidence-informed support, help you understand your options and communicate what matters to you, and stay steady as things unfold. Before becoming a doula, I spent more than a decade in international humanitarian and development work, which taught me a lot about listening, building trust, and staying grounded in uncertain situations. I’m also a parent of two young children and love spending time with my family, being outside, and traveling!

Hello, and welcome! My name is Shaniqua, and I am a birth doula and birthing assistant currently completing my professional training. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based support to growing families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My journey into birth work is deeply personal. I was inspired by my mother’s birth story and my own experiences navigating pregnancy and Cesarean births. Those experiences showed me how important it is for every mother to feel informed, heard, respected, and supported. Especially when birth doesn’t go exactly as planned. While I have a special passion for supporting families preparing for or recovering from Cesarean births, I am honored to support mothers and families through all types of birth experiences. My goal is to help you feel empowered to make informed decisions, advocate for your needs, and approach your birth with confidence and peace of mind. As I continue my training and education, I remain committed to learning, growing, and providing compassionate care rooted in respect, empathy, and continuous improvement. I believe every birth story matters, and it would be a privilege to walk alongside you during one of the most meaningful journeys of your life. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your birth team. I look forward to supporting you with kindness, encouragement, and wholehearted care every step of the way.
