Join me LIVE tonight for an honest conversation about birth, birth justice, midwifery, and reclaiming the wisdom of physiological birth. We’ll explore the history, the challenges, the solutions, and how we can restore dignity, autonomy, and community-centered care for birthing families.

Whether you’re a parent, birth worker, student, or simply passionate about maternal health, I’d love to have you join the conversation. Bring your questions, your thoughts, and your voice. Let’s learn, reflect, and reclaim birth together.

Did you know? 🤎

Decades of research show that midwife-led continuity of care — one trusted midwife and team walking with you from pregnancy through birth — is linked to fewer epidurals, fewer episiotomies, fewer instrumental births, and fewer preterm births. (Cochrane review of 15 trials and 17,000+ families.)

Why? Because relationship is medicine. When you are known, heard, and supported, birth changes.

That's the heart of how I care for families across the Triangle & Fayetteville. Curious whether home birth is right for you? Book a free 15-minute consultation — link in bio or call 704-420-0424.

Whether you’re a parent, birth worker, student midwife, advocate, or simply curious about the work we do, I’d love to connect with you.

Five things people often get wrong about home birth 🤎

1. It's not "winging it" — it's planned, monitored, evidence-based care.
2. You're not alone — a trained midwife (and assistant) are with you throughout.
3. Pain options exist — water, movement, positioning, and more.
4. We screen carefully — home birth is for healthy, low-risk pregnancies.
5. It's deeply prepared — prenatal visits, labs, and a plan for every "what if."

25 years. Thousands of births. And I still tear up every time. 🤎

I'm Midwife Sakina — I hold a Master's in midwifery and spent five years directing a childbearing center in the Bronx before bringing this work home to North Carolina. My promise hasn't changed: safe, respectful, culturally responsive care where you feel heard.
