The BirthCircle | Birth, Pregnancy, & PostPartum Conversations
Health & Fitness
Today we talk to Aisha Al Hajjar, Midwife and founder of AMANI Birth, an Islamically founded childbirth education and doula training program designed to empower and support women in the birthing decisions that they make. She works together with her husband to make this education widely available, and to date, AMANI Birth has trained over 900 educators and providers and supported over 10,000 mothers worldwide with their evidence based childbirth education.
We talk about Aisha's birth experiences and how they led her to become a childbirth educator. We also talk about the ways that Aisha saw women suffering from lack of choices and birth education after converting to Islam, and how she allowed her faith and knowledge to guide her in knowing how to help.
We talk about what is needed in an Islamic birth space and how AMANI birth helps to provide for those needs. We also talk about how a country's culture can affect a woman's needs for her birth space, as well as how AMANI education can help a woman to know whether or not she wants to adhere to cultural practices. We discuss how training birth workers all over the world can help women to preserve their own culture and empower their communities.
Aisha tells us the story of AMANI Birth and how she and her husband both knew that women in the Middle East where they live were in need of Islamically based birth education and protection, and how they built AMANI birth out of that need. We discuss the scope of AMANI and how it changes lives and communities.
Finally we talk about the impact that birth empowerment has on a woman's entire life and how the mission of AMANI is to spread that empowerment as far as possible.
