As-saalāmu ʿalaykum.

My name is Fatimah. I am a birthkeeper, childbirth educator, homemaker, and wife.
I guide Muslimaat to give birth at home with knowledge, gratitude, patience, gratitude, and tawakkul on Allah, rooted in tawheed and the way of the Sunnah and Salaf as-Saliheen.

My approach as a birthkeeper/traditional birth attendant/birth educator is rooted in returning to the way of our fitrah (natural disposition). The Fitrah is our innate disposition upon which Allah created us: Tawheed. I believe the true essence of birth preparation is preparing and cultivating one’s heart and mind through truly knowing Allah. And this is because the body was already designed perfectly by Allah to give birth. Birth is an involuntary act we have no conscious control over, and it is through complete submission and closeness with Allah that we can cultivate true patience and gratitude.

My approach to pregnancy and birth are rooted in preserving the natural physiology of birth by rejecting interference and disturbances to the natural process, and letting it unfold on its own as an act of devotional worship to Allah alone. It involves seeking beneficial knowledge both deeni and dunyawi, wholesome traditional animal-based and holistic nutrition, nurturing trust, and cultivating patience, gratitude, and true tawakkul. Tawakkul is one of the greatest acts of worship.

My specialty is freebirth and self-directed pregnancy - non-medicalized, unassisted and undisturbed pregnancy + birth at home. I love to work with like-minded Muslimahs who are aligned. My work is centered on women pursuing self-directed pregnancy, physiological home birth, and freebirth. I don't simply accompany women wherever they happen to give birth - I do not attend hospital births or births with medical practitioners present. I mentor women who have intentionally chosen a path outside the conventional allopathic system and want knowledgeable, faith-centered companionship as they prepare for that journey.

The home is a virtuous place for the Muslim woman and it truly is her sanctuary. A Muslim woman worships Allah the best in her home, and it is my belief and opinion that birth is not a necessity which requires a woman to leave her home; in fact, it is the opposite; I believe that leaving the home is the first intervention in childbirth that introduces unnecessary risk, while remaining at home supports and protects birth by giving it the beneficial environment to progress and unfold naturally as Allah designed it.

Tawakkul is not passive and neither is choosing to birth at home; tawakkul is an active state of the heart which combines taking the useful, beneficial means and trusting and relying solely upon Allah alone to provide for us. 

I am located in central Indiana and open to attending births within my locality - this includes within the state of Indiana, Kentucky, eastern Illinois, eastern Ohio area, and some parts of Michigan.

My pregnancy and birth companion services are also offered remotely for Muslim couples worldwide who are planning a birth at home.

My Pregnancy, Birth, Baby, and Traditional Midwifery Education & Training

My approach has been shaped through years of independent study, mentorship, and formal education in traditional and physiological birth.

Some of the educational programs I have completed include:

Radical Birth Keeper School (3-month program) — Free Birth Society (2021)

Physiologic Baby Care Course — Innate Traditions (2023)

Childbirth Physiology Course — developed by Dr. Rachel Reed (2024)

Paramana Doula Training — with Michel Odent and Liliana Lammers (2025)

Birth First Aid for Mother and Baby — True Midwifery with Ruth Ehrhardt (2026)

The Silent Birthkeeper (currently studying) — True Midwifery with Ruth Ehrhardt (2026–2027)

While formal education has been valuable, the foundation of my work rests upon continual study, reflection, personal experience, research, and the preservation of traditional birth knowledge. I remain committed to lifelong learning, always seeking to deepen my understanding of physiological birth, traditional midwifery, and the cultivation of the heart upon tawḥīd and tawakkul.

I am currently studying Aqeedah, Hadith, and Fiqh under Ustadh Ariff Olla of Ahle Dhikr Institute, and studying Arabic independently.
