Hi, I’m Rizwana,
Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, GentleBirth Instructor & Mum of 3.
My entry into birth work wasn’t planned. After the birth of my eldest daughter, I was left with a heavy, uncomfortable mix of feelings as I had to navigate a cascade of unexpected - and unnecessary - interventions. I didn’t know my rights or options back then, so I thought I had to just agree and go along with what my doctor recommended. It took me over a year to process that birth experience which ended up leading me to take up doula training.
And what a journey that was! Through my formal training I discovered just how uninformed a lot of parents walk into birth; I learnt just how transformative informed consent, physiological trust and dedicated support can be. And true enough, my subsequent two birth experiences were radically different from my first.
I bring deep empathy and a steady sense of calm into every birth space I’m invited to enter.
As a fully certified doula and GentleBirth Instructor based in Singapore, my mission is simple: to ensure you never feel lost, unheard, or unprepared. Whether we are mapping out your birth preferences, practicing hands-on comfort measures with your partner, or holding space for your physical and emotional recovery, I am here to empower you every step of the way.
Let’s make your birth and postpartum a positive, wholesome experience, shall we?
