Meet Elmi

I'm Elmi (she/her), and my journey into doula work began long before I had a name for it. I spent years learning what care really means - the quiet kind that happens between breath and skin. I began as a bodyworker, travelled, learned from healers and teachers, and realised my hands had become a way of listening. For over twenty years, I have supported bodies in transition through fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum - offering steadiness, warmth, and deep presence. 

I support families through the in-between - where modern medicine meets ancient ritual. My practice is rooted in Malay postpartum traditions, where warmth, herbs, and ritual are medicine.

Elmi is a birth and postpartum doula trained through DONA and the Center of Doula Pathways, as well as a childbirth educator and GentleBirth hypnobirthing teacher. I bring advanced training across birth and postpartum care, therapeutic massage, and holistic treatments, alongside expertise in birth trauma support, counselling, fitness, breastfeeding, infant massage and craniosacral therapy, C-section recovery, pelvic floor therapy, and infant first aid.
