Originally hailing from the vibrant landscapes of Chad, my cultural journey weaves through the rich tapestries of Africa (Sudan), the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), and the heart of the Republic of Chad.

My academic voyage led me to graduate from the esteemed Faculty of Health Sciences at Al-Ghad International College in Saudi Arabia in 2014. Since then, I've embarked on a fulfilling path, obtaining a bachelor’s degree in emergency medical services, specializing as a paramedic. This journey of service initially led me to work in this field until I embraced a new adventure in Canada.

Passionate about nurturing empowering birth experiences, I discovered my true calling as a Doula. My journey into motherhood, set against the backdrop of a new country without familial support, inspired me to extend a compassionate hand to others. Rooted in my personal experiences and cultural heritage, I'm deeply committed to providing invaluable support to the BIPOC and newcomers within my community.

Recognizing the unique needs and sensitivities of families, especially those rooted in religious traditions, I strive to foster a nurturing environment that respects cultural preferences and religious beliefs. My role is to facilitate a seamless transition, prioritizing the health and safety of both mother and baby. I'm here to offer a welcoming embrace and a compassionate ear.
