Farhanah Umm Aasiya
I provide compassionate support for black and brown mothers during pregnancy and birth.
Let’s work together to make your birth a grounded, empowered experience.
Holding Space for You Through Pregnancy and Birth
Assalamualaykum and Hello!
I offer emotional and practical support to women during pregnancy, holding space with presence, care, and deep listening. My focus is on helping you feel supported, empowered, and respected as you prepare for birth.
Having worked closely with healthcare practitioners, I’ve seen the challenges many women face in the maternity system, and I understand the disparities in the maternity wards. I would love to do my part to make this journey easier for whoever I can. I’m here to help you navigate that system, speak your truth, and feel grounded through your journey.
I don’t give medical advice but I offer something just as essential: a compassionate ear, steady encouragement, and space for you to simply be.

Client testimonials
“I’m so grateful for the support I received during my VBA2C (Vaginal Birth After 2 C-sections) journey. Whilst many health professionals left me feeling anxious, discouraged and often focusing on the risks and speaking negatively, Farhanah was a refreshing and empowering presence. From the beginning she created a space where I felt heard, understood and genuinely supported. She never downplayed the realities, but she also didn’t let fear take over. Instead, she shared her own experiences with honesty and compassion which gave me the confidence to believe in my body again. She offered practical birthing techniques, encouragement and a calm, grounded energy that helped me feel more at ease as I prepared for birth. Thanks to her, I was able to approach my VBA2C with so much more confidence. I truly could not have done it without her support during my pregnancy”L, 2025
“When I found out I was pregnant with my third, I knew I wanted this birth to be different. I wanted to feel empowered and have the birth I always envisaged. But I knew I couldn’t do this alone. After my two previous births, where I almost gave birth at home alone due to the fast labours, I wanted to feel listened to and to be able to trust my care team and those around me. From the beginning, Farhanah made me feel that I was in control of my birth. Training me to think positively and no obstacle was too hard to tackle. Due to her experience working within the maternity sector and closely with NHS midwives, Farhanah was able to provide a wealth of knowledge which aided in me getting the birth I wanted. She regularly checked in and made sure I practiced self care and was well prepared for my birth. I was privileged to get the outcome I desired and I wholeheartedly believe everyone needs a birth keeper; an advocate who truly understands the impact of a positive birth. Farhanah deeply understands this and I thank her for being a part of my journey in achieving my dream birth.”Z, 2025
