I invite you to schedule a complimentary call so we can discuss your pregnancy and begin planning your birth journey with clarity and confidence. I offer highly personalized doula support, and my availability is intentionally limited to ensure dedicated attention to each family.

Calls are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so reaching out early helps secure availability and allows us to build trust and a strong support plan from the very beginning. I look forward to connecting with you.

Support Rooted in Experience

My name is Ikram Abouelmagd, and I am a certified birth doula based in New York. I hold a medical degree and spent many years working in obstetrics and gynecology outside the United States, where I supported families throughout pregnancy and birth.

I am currently completing the requirements to obtain my medical license in New York. During this time, my focus is on providing non-medical birth doula support, and I do not offer medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In addition to my background in women’s health, I serve as a medical advisor with Kaplan Health in New York City. Working as a birth doula allows me to continue supporting individuals and families by offering calm guidance, thoughtful preparation, and compassionate emotional support during pregnancy, labor, and the early postpartum period.

I am especially mindful of families who may be experiencing more complex or closely monitored pregnancies and who value steady reassurance and clear communication. My role is to provide supportive, non-medical care while encouraging informed conversations with your chosen healthcare providers.
