Hi, I'm Gess
Doula, birth mindset coach, and mum of two.
I birthed both my children at home, in a birth pool in my living room. My son's birth in 2021 was ecstatic and pivotal, and it showed me that birth isn't the finish line. It's the start of becoming.
Today I walk alongside Muslim women across Melbourne and online, helping them peel back the conditioning, find their inner compass, and step into birth and motherhood aligned with their fitrah.
When a mother lives in alignment with her fitrah, her whole ecosystem thrives.

Alhamdulillah for these births.
“I went into labour last night and thought of you all day. Everything you spoke to me about and passed onto me… You were such an inspiration and great guidance sis. It was so worth it to have spoken to you Alhamdulillah.”
“Gess was a saving grace for me during my pregnancy! Going through pregnancy for the first time can feel like walking in the dark… She guided me through my pregnancy journey with such calm and grace, empowering and reassuring me the whole way.”
“Having her gave me the much needed clarity and direction I needed in my pregnancy, ultimately delivering my baby girl and having the birth experience I wanted.”
