What Indianapolis Mamas Say

Trusted by 200+ families across Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Midwest.

Mariam was a wonderful doula to have throughout the whole journey. She has a very steady and calming presence and knew exactly how to help relieve the pain. She's thoughtful and respectful of preferences.

Izabella & Ahmad

We loved that Mariama took care of us and invested in us as people. Learned some of our likes and dislikes, fears and concerns and advocated for us wholeheartedly throughout the laboring process. She got ahead of many things that would come up during the laboring process and prepared us for things we might encounter. Our birthing experience didn't go as planned (wanted natural but had to have an emergency c-section). Through all of the scary moments, moments of uncertainty and worry. Mariama was a through what folt like a very real storm. She stayed with my husband and talked him through panic, she waited through the surgery for us to get out, prayed for us, and checked on us through the recovery! Our little bay and I wouldn't have been able to get through this without her and we are beyond grateful!

Getting Mariama as our Doula was the best decision for our family. As a first time parents, we had a lot of learning to do. Mariama supported us throughout the entire process without crossing boundaries. She kept things it needed it to be and at the same time was there for me as a friend. As a first mom, I didn’t know much about birth or what I actually want. You always did the research and provide us with the best possible information. During the delivery, you did more for us than expected. We appreciate the support and couldn’t have done it without you! My husband and I are forever grateful and we are extremely satisfied with the service you provided. If anyone is looking for a doula, don't hesitate to reach out. You will not be disappointed.

Mariama was reliable and quick to respond. She checked on me frequently leading up to the birth. I highly recommend Mariama as a doula. She was very supportive and did everything possible to make me feel more comfortable. She was those extra set of hands that you really need on the day of birth, whether it is giving you sips of water, applying counter pressure, suggesting different positions to progress labor, or holding a heating pad to your back for hours— she was wonderful and her calm presence was very welcome during labor and birth. She will make you feel safe!

Loved working with Mariam! I was really nervous about my first time going into labor. She was very knowledgeable, shared her insight in a very helpful manner, and reached out often, making me feel much more confident and ready for delivery. She guided me and my husband through labor gently and had a constant calming tone. it was a great support. Would definitely recommend her to anyone having their baby.

Hajirah Ishaq

This was my first time having a doula and I am so very blessed to have chosen Mariam. I did not have Mariam from the start of my pregnancy and she was still willing to take me on as her client. She was so easy to communicate with and truly cares for the well being of her clients. She is so kind, supportive, and very knowledgeable I felt like I had gained a sister who was there for me no matter what. I didn’t get the birth I wanted but it was the birth I needed. Mariam supported me in every decision and made me feel validated! My first birth was traumatic and Mariam made me feel safe and secure this time around. The birth I had the second time was very similar to the first time, However I didn’t feel scared and alone thanks to Mariam. I seriously can not talk highly enough of the work she does!
