Having a baby can be a challenge. Finding mother-centered care shouldn't be.
Supporting parents during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum.
In-home and virtual breastfeeding support to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals.
Hello! I'm so glad you're here! I'm Kim - wife, mama of 2 great kids, American expat living in the Middle East since 2015. I'm a social worker turned birth worker and creator of this space, Ertiah by Kim.
I have always been passionate about supporting women and families. Throughout my 3 pregnancies (2 live children, 1 miscarriage) and birth experiences I had times that I felt really supported and heard, and other times that I was made to feel powerless and unimportant. So these experiences coupled with my innate passion to support women led me to doula and breastfeeding support work.
As a certified birth doula through DONA International, I'm passionate about supporting your birth and it is an honor that you would consider me as your doula! Ertiah (ارتياح) is the Arabic word meaning satisfaction and relief. My goal is to help women have a satisfying birth experience by providing personalized support throughout your unique journey.
It is my firm belief that all women deserve to be cared for, heard, and supported through their birth experiences leading to greater relief and a sense of satisfaction.
It's the same idea for the struggling breastfeeding mama. As a certified lactation support counselor, I'm here to help bring relief and satisfaction to your breastfeeding journey.
So mama, I'm so glad you stopped by and I can't wait to connect with you!

"Kim was exceptionally caring and professional throughout the prenatal meetings and especially during the birth. She respected and understood my birth preferences and how some of my past medical complications would come into play during the birth.
She really carried me through a very quick and difficult birth that would have otherwise been a scary experience. She offered words of encouragement throughout, helped me with different positions in labour and most of all advocated for me with the medical staff when needed in a very professional way. She was also a great support to my husband throughout the entire process. I can't recommend Kim enough. She is a very genuine person and a doula who really cares. I can't imagine having gone through labour and birth without her." ~Maria
