My journey in birth work started at age 12, when I had the unique experience of catching my little sister. At age 22, I started my work as a volunteer doula in Vermont, serving members in the community who lacked support. My early volunteer work gave me a deep understanding of how hospitals function, and how to work with medical staff towards the best possible outcomes for parent and child. In 2023, I was trained and certified through DONA, with mentorship by Penny Bussell Stansfield and Dr. Teri Nava-Anderson. Having been through two training programs has given me a diverse range of strategies to draw upon in our prenatal planning sessions and during your labor and birth! I have been honored to participate in many birth stories, each with unique circumstances and goals. I have experience supporting medicated and unmedicated vaginal births, scheduled and emergent Cesarean births with first, second, and fourth-time parents, queer parents, low-income parents, autistic parents, non-native English-speaking parents, sexual assault survivors, people with depression, and parents of color. I am a member of the queer community and this has strengthened my belief that all bodies deserve respectful, compassionate, and culturally humble care.

Greetings everyone! My name is Faheemah Sabreen Ali and I am a Certified Birth and Post-Partum Doula offering services in the Bay Area. I began my training with Birthing From Within in 2020, five years after giving birth to my own daughter. Having struggled throughout my own labor and delivery, I wanted to show up and hold sacred space in a way that I needed someone to show up for me. This led to my initiation into birth work. In 2024, I was officially certified with BWBJ, adding more nuance and cultural competency to my care. I remain deeply passionate about advocating for mothers and birthing people, empowering them to trust their body's natural and innate wisdom. I seek to provide informed, radically compassionate and supportive care as you embark on this sacred journey in your life 💜

Rest & Recover Say goodbye to sleepless nights! Rest, recover, and bond with your new baby while our doulas take care of the rest.
