About Me

Hi, I'm Aminah, lovingly known as Mimi! I'm a mother of two, a doula, and a heart-centered supporter of you and your family. My calling is rooted in service, presence, and a deep respect for birth as a sacred and transformative rite of passage. This work is truly my calling.

My own motherhood journey has deeply shaped the way I show up in this work. I've experienced both a hospital birth and a VBAC at a birth center, along with the beauty and challenges of breastfeeding, postpartum healing, and raising children. These lived experiences allow me to hold space with empathy, understanding, and confidence; I know how vulnerable, powerful, and life-altering this season can be, and I honor each family's unique path with care, respect, and compassion.

In addition to one-on-one support, I facilitate a local mom group in Los Angeles and help connect families with trusted community resources.

Practice Philosophy

My support is deeply client-centered, always respecting the birthing person's personal choices. I believe birth is not something to be controlled, but something to be supported and trusted. As your doula, I walk beside you, offering gentle guidance, emotional reassurance, and evidence-based information, while always honoring your autonomy and your decisions.

My approach is client- and family-centered, prioritizing what you feel is best while providing clear, supportive information when you need it. I hold a special devotion to the tender days after birth: the postpartum period is sacred, and I tend not only to the baby, but to whatever the parent and entire family may need, offering emotional support, helping hands, and a steady presence to make this transition as smooth and supported as possible.

Overall, my intention is for you to feel held, uplifted, informed, and never alone as you move through this powerful transition.
