Saleemah Muhammad

5 years of experience

Accepts insurance

I'm Saleemah and I am a mother of 2, a boy and girl. Working under my mother who was a midwife, and having my own children influenced me to take the journey into becoming a Birth Doula and Lactation consultant. Helping mothers through their pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding journey is my passion.

Recent review

Saleemah was very warm and professional. She helped me to prepare for my birth, making sure I had all needed items in my hospital bag, and helping me advocate for myself for my preferred birth plan. She helped me through labor, making sure my birth plan was followed, recommending coping techniques, and even bringing additional items I hadn't thought of. She recommended tips and tricks that helped my labor to progress when it stalled. Saleemah also was a huge help after my baby was born, showing up and helping me with whatever I needed as well as providing comfort measures for postpartum healing.

After more than 5 years in lactation practice, I offer skilled lactation care to get to the root cause of you milk supply concerns, nipple pain, and pumping problems. As a trained infant craniosacral therapist, bodywork can be integrated into your feeding consult for even better results. If you're concerned about lip and tongue ties. I've got you there as I specialize in assessing and caring for infants with ties. I believe in a holistic, family centered approach that tailors every session to *your* needs.
