Birth with strength, softness, and support
I’m Shadi, a Bay Area doula
Mama of three boys, and a doula for the modern day mom. The mom who wants support that feels real, grounded, and aligned with her values.
My path into birth work was shaped by my own journey through motherhood. Becoming a mom cracked me open in the most beautiful and humbling way, and through those moments of vulnerability, strength, and transformation, I discovered how powerful women truly are. That realization is what called me into this work, to support, uplift, and empower women as they step into one of the most transformative seasons of their lives.
My approach
Birth is not something to “get through”
Birth is something to be held, honored, and supported. I believe when women feel informed, trusted, and supported, they reclaim their power. My role is to create a calm, steady space where you feel safe, confident, and deeply seen, whether you’re planning your first birth or welcoming another baby into your family.
I support families with intuition, evidence-based care, and a whole lot of heart. I meet you exactly where you are, honor your choices, and walk alongside you before, during, and after birth, so you feel empowered in your decisions and never alone in the process.
Why I do this
Because no one should feel alone during such a life-changing moment. Because I remember what it felt like to need reassurance, steady guidance, and someone who truly understood. Because birth and postpartum deserve more care, more presence, and more heart. I do this work to help families feel confident, supported, and deeply held before, during, and after birth.
