I chose Ruqayyah to be my doula after finding out I was pregnant with my third child. She came in bringing gifts, was very attentive to our needs (even my first two children), showed up to doctors appointments, & she was also my therapist at times! She never overstepped any boundaries or made us feel uncomfortable, she was supportive of my decisions. Every time I reached out to her (no matter the time!) about anything, she was on standby during my pregnancy & after the birth. She’s very knowledgeable & she’s passionate about anything she sets her mind to do. If, I had the chance I would choose her to be my doula again!

She was the absolute best! I wouldn’t change my birth experience for the world, she was such a great supporter and was there for me every step of the way! I love her and I am very grateful to have had her there with me. I’d do it all over again the exact same way.
