Childbirth Educator & Doula

Farida Parkar

I am a UK qualified Childbirth Educator who moved to Dubai in 2016. I worked with the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) from 2013 as an Antenatal Teacher, supporting pregnant women, couples and new parents through their birthing journey. I have been teaching classes and providing 1:1 support to women in the UAE since 2016.  I believe in a holistic approach to pregnancy and parenting, promoting physical and mental well-being and a knowledge driven approach to pregnancy.

I am the mother of four beautiful children, including twins. I have always been passionate about anything ‘baby’ since a very young age, and started my own journey to motherhood with three infants at the age of 23.  I was blessed to have the support of knowledgeable people around me who empowered my birth experience.  I love doing the same with others, providing evidence based practices to support their birthing journey.

Our Philosphy

At Your Birth Journey, our philosophy of helping ‘one birth at a time’ has grown and led to us helping countless births. Making a change to the birthing world, to help women achieve a birth journey they desire and even more importantly, being there for them during their journey, so that no matter what turn their journey takes, they come out positive and empowered. 

The birthing world is in need of some tender love and care. Birth is still seen as a very medical process and we feel we need to change the perception of birth to understand that an uninterrupted birth allows for a more controlled birth. Although this may seem difficult to comprehend, it is this very shift in mindset that will make some key changes to birth. 

At Our Birth Journey, this starts with education. From prenatal classes, to having a doula with you at birth, or maybe postnatal care. All services are carried out with up to date evidence based knowledge. 

Knowledge is empowerment at every stage of your birth journey and we take that very seriously, making sure everyone that comes to us leaves empowered and more positively ready to achieve.  Our goals are limitless and we aim to help as many women and couples, right from the onset of pregnancy up until the toddler stage of motherhood.

Helping to build a community of mothers and couples who have positive experiences of pregnancy, birth and parenthood, to help build the next generation.
