Preparing For a Positive Postpartum is a comprehensive postpartum preparation course that I designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools that you will need to thrive as a new Muslim parent.
The course will teach you what to expect from your postpartum from as soon as the baby makes it's entrance into the world, to well past your first 40 days. It encourages you to look at current systems you have in place, identify gaps and figure out concrete ways to fill those gaps so that instead of scrambling to figure things out in the postpartum period, you're able to focus on what really matters- healing and your new growing family.

Now hold on just a second….
On the fence? Got a question?
1. Why do I need a whole program for postpartum prep?
Preparing for your postpartum period in advance is crucial for a smoother and more positive experience. It helps you anticipate and address the physical, emotional, and logistical challenges that often accompany childbirth. By gaining knowledge, developing skills and having resources handy ahead of time, you'll boost your confidence, reduce stress, and ensure the well-being of both you and your baby during this transformative phase of life.
2. Why do I need to sign up for this program when there is so much free information online?
I agree with you. There is just SO much information available for free online. So much that you will often find conflicting information that you will need to sift through. You can spend hours online Google-ing remedies, advice and suggestions on issues that come up in the postpartum while you're going through them,
OR…
You can feel guided and supported by someone who has gone through it all and helped moms just like you to plan and prepare for a postpartum that comes as close as possible to bliss. You can ask your questions LIVE and get thoughtful answers by someone who will take the time to ease your worries and address your concerns.
3. I'm pregnant for the 2nd/3rd/4th time. Will this be beneficial for me?
Interestingly enough, most of my students are repeat parents! It probably has something to do with going through postpartum without any prep the first time and realizing that this is definitely a time period that needs preparation and attention...I myself had two children, went through rough postpartum experiences both times and then decided to create this program in preparation for my third postpartum. The difference in this last postpartum was night and day!
If this is not your first time, I would recommend bringing to the program your biggest challenges from your past experiences and focusing on preparing yourself thoroughly to meet those challenges again in a better way.
4. I don't think I have the time.
Lets put this in perspective: PPP is a total of 10-15 hours of class time. That's literally a fraction of a day out of your 9 months of pregnancy, that will be spent in preparing for a time period that will undeniably have a profound impact on the rest of your life. The course is all virtual, and you have access to recordings, reading materials and worksheets for the next 6 months. Squeeze in the learning, do the work and thank me later, inshallah :)
5. I can't afford this class...
Preparing For a Positive Postpartum is a quality program that combines a number of teachings and presents them in a Muslim-friendly manner. The value of this course goes beyond basic learning. You get a community (don't we all need one?), you get an opportunity to understand yourself better, to prepare yourself, your marriage, your mental state and your family for this new phase in life.
Most of all, you get the satisfaction of knowing you're that you've done your part in preparing yourself thoroughly for what's coming.
No monetary value can be assigned to peace of mind :)
That being said, I do believe that this course is a must-take for all birthing women, and want to make it accessible. Should you be in need of financial assistance, or a payment plan, please feel free to reach out to me by clicking the link below.
