I am a Venezuelan-born, London based Muslim Midwife, activist, musician, producer, writer and broadcaster. I work as a midwife in Kings College Hospital in South London, and have a special interest in breastfeeding, women & mental health, and postnatal problems. Outside of midwifery, I am an active member of the Muslim community, where I engage in dawah projects, interfaith and peace activism.
The milk of love
Wed, Jun 22, 2011
In my midwifery practice, I have spent many years helping women with breastfeeding concerns, and this can one of the most vulnerable times in a woman’s life, and it comes with many challenges. One of the challenges I face as a practitioner is balancing information-giving with practical and emotional support, making me realise how precious the years of motherhood are, and how supporting this passage in a loving way can help profoundly.
