بصراحة تجربة التدريب مع أماني بيرث كانت من أروع المراحل اللي مريت بيها مش مجرد كورس لكن رحلة فهم حقيقية للجسم وللمرأة وللقدرة العظيمة اللي ربنا خلقها فينا.

كل درس كان بيخليني أعيد تفكيري في مفهوم الولادة وأفهم إنها مش مجرد حدث طبي لكنها عملية فطرية فيها روح وطمأنينة لو الأم لقت الدعم الصح

اتعلمت إزاي أقرأ إشارات جسم الأم وإزاي أكون معاها في اللحظات اللي بتحتاج فيها طاقة وتشجيع أكتر من أي كلام

كمان فهمت أهمية التواصل الفعال والتنفس وحركات الجسم والتهيئة النفسية وقد إيه كل خطوة بسيطة ممكن تغير تجربتها تمامًا

حبيت جدًا أسلوب التدريب والنقاشات الواقعية اللي خلت المعلومات تثبت في دماغي مش بالحفظ لكن بالفهم والتجربة.

وحسيت إن التدريب مش بس جهزني كمساندة ولادة لكن غير نظرتي لنفسي كأنثى ولطبيعة الأمومة والخلق اللي ربنا أكرمنا بيه

شكرًا من قلبي لفريق أماني بيرث على كل لحظة تعلم ودعم وتشجيع بجد التجربة دي خلتني مؤمنة أكتر إن الولادة الطبيعية رحلة إيمان وثقة قبل ما تكون ألم أو خوف

Honestly, my training experience with AMANI Birth was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. It wasn't just a course, but a true journey of understanding the body, women, and the incredible potential God has placed within us.

Honestly, my training with AMANI Birth was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had. Every lesson made me rethink the concept of childbirth and understand that it's not a medical event, but a natural process imbued with spirit and tranquility if the mother receives the right support.

I learned how to read a mother's body signals and how to be there for her in moments when she needs more energy and encouragement than words.

I also understood the importance of effective communication, breathing, body movements, and psychological preparation, and how every simple step can completely transform her experience.

I absolutely loved the training style and the realistic discussions that helped me retain the information not through memorization, but through understanding and experience.

I felt that the training not only prepared me as a birth supporter but also changed my perspective on myself as a woman and on the nature of motherhood and the gift God has bestowed upon us.

A heartfelt thank you to the AMANIi Birth team for every moment of learning, support, and encouragement. This experience truly strengthened my belief that "natural childbirth is a journey of faith and trust before it is pain or fear."

I thoroughly enjoyed attending the workshop and meeting everyone. I loved the sketches and stories. They were really interesting and sometimes funny. I honestly cannot express in words how much I enjoyed the experience. I had already taken a Lamaze birth educator course a few years before, but the AMANI birth educator course taught me many more things and helped me see pregnancy and birth in a new way. I wish we could meet again and to watch the live sketching stories over and over.

May Allah ﷻ bless and reward all of those involved in AMANI Birth for their work and make it heavy on their scales of goodness on the Day of Judgement. May He ﷻ continue to place barakah into their efforts and allow them to continue to be of benefit to the ummah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

I can admit that I came into the classes fisabilillah hoping to learn information pertaining to natural chidlbirth from an Islamic perspective, but I left with so much more. One of the takeaways being that the reminder ALWAYS benefits the believer.

Jazakallahu khayran for the beneficial reminders that were given throughout this course, and I look forward to applying what I have learned here towards my journey as a CBE (Childbirth Educator) for AMANI Birth, as well in my journey of delivering my own children naturally one day (Insha’Allah)!

Attending the AMANI Birth workshop was an overwhelming experience. Being a midwife, I had a lot of unlearning to do and new skills to grasp. Aisha was outstanding. She literally knew what to say and when. Her mastery and skills in birth have uplifted mine as well.
The workshop was very interactive and I enjoyed every second of being there. Looking forward to more workshops in the UAE.

The Amani Birth Doula Childbirth Education Course is a comprehensive and holistic course offered with an Islaamic framework.  It is rich with content with much to offer to those new to birth work and those who have been in the field for years.  Aisha Al Hajjar is a dynamic and engaging teacher who is truly passionate about this work.  Take this course inshaaAllaah!

Alhamdulillah, I had been wanting to join the AMANI Childbirth Educator and Doula course for quite some time. Since I had already trained with another organization, I didn't consider joining. But one day, as I was browsing through videos, I ended up watching Sister Aisha's videos on YouTube and I knew I had to understand childbirth education from the Islamic perspective. I can't believe the workshop is over. Subhanallah, every single minute was engaging.

I just couldn't stop listening to Sister Aisha's words. She is well informed and knowledgeable, her words flow out without any mistakes. Every topic covered was explained clearly, enlightening us with her own personal and professional journey, making sure we understood what was being taught. All the assignments helped us to further comprehend what was taught in the class. May Allah bless Sister Aisha for her hard work and efforts to raise awareness for all women.

I am thrilled to share with you the incredible experience I've had recently in completing an intense doula and childbirth education training course. The AMANI Birth journey was demanding, yet it has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and the confidence needed to support and empower mothers during the miraculous journey of childbirth.

The intensity of the AMANI Birth training was a testament to the comprehensive nature of the curriculum. From the intricacies of pregnancy to the nuances of labor and postpartum care, every aspect was covered with great detail. The hands-on learning experiences, coupled with theoretical knowledge, provided me with a holistic understanding of the birthing process.

One of the most impactful aspects of the training was the emphasis on empathy and emotional support. Understanding the emotional needs of expectant mothers and their families is a crucial skill, and the training helped me develop the capacity to offer genuine and compassionate care. The training encouraged open dialogue and active listening, fostering an environment where mothers feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Moreover, the practical components of the training, including attending a labor, which in this case was a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), and conducting childbirth education classes, was instrumental in building my confidence. I now feel well-prepared to navigate the unpredictability of childbirth and provide effective support, whether it be physical assistance, emotional reassurance, or advocating for the mother's choices.

As I reflect on this transformative experience, I am filled with gratitude for the knowledge gained and the supportive community of fellow trainees. The AMANI Birth course not only deepened my understanding of the physiological and emotional aspects of childbirth but also instilled in me a profound appreciation for the sacredness of the birthing process.

I am excited about the prospect of applying this newfound knowledge and confidence as I embark on the journey of being a doula. The training has not only equipped me with the skills necessary for the role but has also ignited a passion for supporting mothers during this significant and transformative time in their lives.

Thank you for your unwavering support throughout this journey, and I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead as I bring my training into practice.

I have read many books and watch videos. I have also completed another Childbirth Educator and Doula course. But just after 2 sessions I have learnt so much. Especially the exercise compilation video. You have explained it so clearly. I myself did these exercises with the help of an instructor, yet, I'm not sure now if I had positioned myself correctly. I also had no idea about the reasons mentioned to do these exercises. May Allah bless you for this wonderful knowledge that you're sharing with us. 

I’m thankful for the AMANI birth program because I felt fully prepared for serving as a doula during birth. Educating myself and then educating the mother made things flow so easy and I not once felt like I didn’t know what I was doing. Al’hamdulillah. May Allah allow my efforts to be of benefit for me and the mothers I serve Ameen.

The workshop was extensive and theory based. Sister Aisha conducted all the sessions. MashaAllah enjoyed learning about the unknown of  pregnancy, labor and birth in such details. I am so glad I chose AMANI Birth workshop to be my gateway as a Doula and ChildBirth Educator. JazakaAllah sister Aisha for paving the way for us!

This workshop was one of the most beneficial and valuable workshops I've attended.  It truly changed my perception of birth and the modern medicalized birth culture.  I understood so much about my own personal birth experiences and it was truly overwhelming.  Each day I learned something new and profound that solved the mystery of "how did I end up with three C-sections?"  This question used to haunt me and it was also the reason why I signed up for this workshop.  I would recommend every woman take it, and if you've got daughters, gift this workshop to them.  AMANI provides truly life changing education with supporting evidence from Quran and Sunnah. [She went on to have a VBA3C -- Vaginal Birth After 3 Cesareans. See her testimonial, "This (AMANI Birth) Changed My Life"]

All of the sessions were beyond amazing and life changing for me. It has made me more confident and changed my whole perspective towards birth. Ayesha is an amazing personality and the enthusiasm that she possesses towards the cause of natural birth is really inspirational. Joining AMANI Birth is one of the best decisions that I ever took. I haven't learnt so much in the past years as much as I did during these workshops. All of the sessions are packed with beneficial knowledge that brings you closer to Allah, and I think that is the forte of this course.

I took this training before planning to get pregnant, and it was the BEST thing I could have done for my baby. I got pregnant a few months later and had all the knowledge possible to make educated decisions through out my pregnancy as well as my birth, thanks to the AMANI training I was able to be empowered and knew exactly what I was talking about when it came to any medical interventions and decisions. I had the exact birth that I had planned for, thankfully because of AMANI's training. Without it I would have been uninformed and just submitted to whatever I was told. Thankfully I was empowered and aware and stood my ground when anyone tried to pressure me for any intervention that was NOT necessary. The workshop experience was great, it was interactive, it was knowledgable, and it was collaborative. I wouldn't have changed anything about it.

I thought the workshop was really informative and inspiring.  I really appreciated how relaxed the space was and how comfortable Aisha made me feel.  I also loved that we had such a small group and had so much time to share and ask questions.

Sister Aisha Al Hajjar is an excellent teacher. I was very nervous to attend the workshops before attending... But this workshop was worth every minute of the time spent.

I have been interested in becoming a doula for many years, but could not find a workshop that would work for me. And then I met Sister Aisha and could sense that I could learn from her comfortably.

This workshop was well planned, well organized and lots of fun for all involved. There will be opportunities, insha'Allah, for myself and fellow trainees to establish ongoing working relationships.

Sister Aisha did an amazing job of incorporating Islam into this class in ways that I don't feel I could have experienced in any similar classes based on my past research when looking for such a class.

May Allah (SWT) shower His blessing on her and her family for the sacrifices they make collectively to help make this workshop possible worldwide (Ameen).

I am looking forward to finalizing my Certification process in order to become an AMANI affiliate.

The workshop was a top-class informative classes.

Really motivated to come out and help all of the mommies here in Riyadh and back in India. Very well explained with time taken to answer all of our questions. Had a wonderful time and looking forward to learn more and finish my requirements and start up the real Childbirth Educator and Doula work at full stretch insha'Allah.

It was an inspiring, educating, thrilling experience.

I loved the workshop a lot; specially since it was my first one-on-one exposure to someone so involved in natural birthing after finishing medical school where we are taught how to "manage" everything.

Definitely enjoyed the various activities and was astonished at the different evidence based facts which the medical world loves to ignore.

I also was thrilled at the thought of 'laid back' attitude that a doctor should be having since it was a little difficult for me to accept as well as imagine how any of the doctors I encountered would be even able to do it or not.

In the end I enjoyed Aisha's teaching and my co students. Hoping to be much more active in this insha'Allah.

I loved the workshop! It was full of information and although I already knew a lot there was still more to learn. I came home full of impressions, was overwhelmed by the great spirit of the group and full of enthusiasm. Already in my dreams I'm thinking of how I could transport the AMANI Childbirth Classes to Switzerland and make it available to our Muslim Community!

I thought it was great workshop and I'm proud to soon be a certified member of the AMANI Family!

It was also great to meet some of the certified AMANI sisters to exchange ideas and know about their experiences.

Thanks for offering the workshop!

Alhamdulillah it was a very unique experience to be seated with women of different backgrounds, races and ethnicities, sharing the same goal, of being a Childbirth Educator and educating moms on natural birth and positive birth experiences.

Also as a medical professional I had a lot to "unlearn" what we were previously taught in medical school. It gave me a new perspective on birth and I'm determined to take this not only to all new moms who desire for natural birth but also to the obstetricians who are willing to listen and perhaps bring about a change in the current process.

It was amazing and we learned a lot of information about the natural birth.

I loved the workshop, I feel like it took all the info I already knew since researching and reading about birth after the birth of my first and filled in the gaps for me and gave me many new valuable pieces of info to use! May Allah bless the AMANI family because I see what a difference there is in the Saudi birth culture now compared to when my first was born in 2009. Improving by leaps and bounds masha'Allah. May it continue to get better by the grace of Allah.

It was a power packed weekend with a huge amount of information. I've read a lot of books on Natural Birth and also taking the Lamaze® Certification Course. When I sat in for the AMANI Workshop, I thought I already knew quite a lot about natural birth. But each day of the workshop was so informative for me, learning new things throughout the day. The most informative part for me was the Cascade of Interventions, how many hospital "routines" leads to further problems and require interventions. Although we have always known to eat a well balanced diet in pregnancy, but the importance of not eating healthy was manifested well during this workshop.

And the best part about AMANI that no other course can match is the Quran perspective of childbirth taken into consideration. I love how each chapter quotes an Ayah or a Hadith.

All in all it was an amazing experience and I'm super excited to be among and represent the AMANI family. 🙂

Every minute spent at the workshop was of great benefit. Alhumdulillah. The way the information was conveyed, incorporating all the learning styles, made it engaging, fun to learn and memorable. I tried to make the most of it. I feel honored to be part of the AMANI Family. May Allah continue to put Barakah in the work that is being done. Ameen.

The workshop exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much for a great learning experience. This workshop was enlightening, eyeopening and lot of fun too!

Although I was connected to Amani as a student and took class for my third pregnancy under one of AMANI Teachers. And officially I decided myself to be part of the team by being one of Childbirth Educators. Indeed it was really a privilege to attend training under Aisha Al Hajjar and Brother Mohammed. The workshop was excellently organized and gave a whole insight of natural birth and requirements for Childbirth Educators and Doulas. The anatomy and physiology of natural birth with the model of a pelvis and a soft doll was very well explained. As a group of 5 we shared our experiences on birthing and what has encouraged us to take AMANI as our tool for empowerment in society for natural birthing. Further the balloon activity on how enfacement takes place was a fun way of learning. Birthing videos shared were very inspirational to watch and brought back confidence in primitive birthing ways.

Each and every day of workshop took us to new level of understanding and knowledge of KNOW HOW of natural birthing.

The resources provided along with the training is impressive and perfectly compiled. No doubt, Aisha is one of the excellent teachers and there is so much to learn from her.

I was also impressed to see Aisha and Brother Mohammad, how effectively they work as a couple with a strong sense of bonding and common areas of interest, which is rare to find. May Allah bless them both abundantly, who gives such a motivational picture to other couples and an example that birth can be beautiful with the presence of a participative spouse.

I really enjoyed each day of the workshop and make dua [prayer] that this family grow as much as we can and bring back the natural way of birthing back to mechanical world.

Very informative, enriching and practical in changing the birth culture. It was a good additional investment for my husband and I for being good birth consumers while my intention was to seek more knowledge in serving the Ummah [community] beyond yoga. Insha'Allah, may Allah make it easy for all of us. I wished it was longer however I appreciate sis Aisha and her family for the time and effort in delivering the course within 3 days and the extra private hours given for those who couldn't join the big group on those exact 3 days!

I am happy to be able to get to know AMANI Birth and attend the workshops and training and to be part of the AMANI Birth family. The knowledge gained is so comprehensive, besides training to be able to become a childbirth educator and to get the knowledge of how to assist as a doula. Also how we as Muslims believe in the perfect design of Allah (SWT) of a woman's body. The curriculum taught at AMANI Birth is so complete and easy to understand.

I've never been able to talk about my passion for natural childbirth with most people in person without being looked at as

a) a weirdo

b)superhuman/martyr.

I've found online forums after the birth of my first child where I could talk to people who share this passion. But never in person, until this class. It felt like, "Is this real life?" Alhamdulillah!

The class was jam-packed with information and attending it with fellow sisters in the community was a truly amazing, bonding experience. I appreciated the visuals, videos, pictures, model baby and pelvis, as well as the interactive exercises.

The workshop was thoroughly enjoyable. I learned more than I expected, and am so grateful for it. Thank you so much!
