Meet Hajera
Your Muslim Mama Bestie & Birth Guide
Assalamualaikum, I’m Hajera Rahman – a midwife, hypnobirthing instructor and the founder of Muslim Hypnobirthing®.
For over a decade, I’ve supported mothers before, during and after birth, and I’ve seen first-hand how fear, lack of support, and spiritual disconnect can shape birth experiences.
I created Muslim Hypnobirthing® to change that.

Why I Started Muslim Hypnobirthing®
As a midwife, I’ve cared for hundreds of women in homes, hospitals and community settings. I witnessed many mothers enter labour feeling:
- Afraid of the unknown
- Disconnected from their bodies
- Emotionally overwhelmed
- Unsure of their rights
- Spiritually unprepared
I also witnessed births anchored in sabr, confidence and tawakkul – where women felt guided, grounded and supported. Even when labour took unexpected turns, their trust in Allah brought a sense of calm and clarity.
That’s when I knew:
Birth can be calm. Birth can be empowering. Birth can be an act of worship.
