Zuleykha is a rockstar! Although we reached out to her only a few weeks before the delivery, she helped us sort out a lot of things in a short time. She was supportive throughout the process and helped me making important decisions. 
she came prepared to the delivery room and shared great tips and tools to cope with labor pain and have a smooth delivery. and most importantly, we felt like she was a family member ??

I had the most amazing experience with Zuleykha as my Doula . It was definitely a match made in heaven .She was the most caring,respectful and loving person to have by my side. I didn't have to ask her for any help it was like she read my mind .When i would move a certain way she was there ready to assist before i could get the words out . Zuleykha was so patient with me even when I was in pain I couldn't explain . She would inquire for me to try another position that would ease the pain. It worked to my surprise the pain wasn't as bad. I was impress,by how knowledgeable for her to be young she is very smart woman .The morning of the birth of my daughter I remember everything.I yelled at Zuleykha its time to push she r out the room to get my midwife a second later he returned with entire team. I remember smiling thinking she knows how to get things done . She was my voice he made sure no matter who came on shift that they knew my birthing plan.during my birth it was time to switch shifts the other team of nurse was there for the morning shift . I heard Zuleykha tell the nurse i will stay with baby while her mom goes into surgery because my family hadn't arrived yet. I was so worry leaving my baby alone without family being there . Hearing her say that put my mind at ease . When my mother arrived she too was impress with Zuleykha. She had packed all my bags so when I transfer to another room all my things was together . She sty a while  with my family and updated they on how i was doing .She was more like family in those moment I could have asked for a better doula .Actually I wouldn't have trade her for any other doula .Im so honored to have had Zuleykha as my doula i was bragging to everyone who was listen about my amazing experience. It was truly a blessing to have Zuleykha there with me THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.Zuleykha definitely exceeded my expectations, it was a phenomenon experience.

Zuleykha Ali was my doula during the birth of my second child in 2022 and my third child in 2024. She is the best doula I could've asked for. Zuleykha went above and beyond for me and my family during my 2 deliveries. She stayed with us the whole time and made sure I was well taken care of by the hospital staff and explained medical things I didn't understand, made recommendations on what was best for me and my new born, comforted me during stressful and difficult situations I experienced while in labor and provided me the best care. She goes above and beyond and truly cares for patients she's servicing. Even after giving birth, she stayed with my family and I all day and night to make sure we received excellent care and that my babies were well and healthy. She never left our side. I am so thankful for her, she made things a lot easier for me. I highly recommend her. My family and I are forever grateful for her.

We have had nothing but positive things to say about working with Zuleykha. You'll notice her passion for people, children, and guiding families through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum when you speak with her.  We didn't start looking for a doula until one month before I was due, so we were late to the party. We had planned to interview a few doulas, but after meeting Zuleykha, we knew we were done and we didn't even want to talk to anymore! She has genuinely supported us at every turn and taken us by the hand when we most needed it. We never felt alone during this journey. Zuleykha kept in touch with us, let us know she was there, and gave us all the support we needed. To her, there were no silly questions. We felt at ease even during some of the most stressful times, She explains things clearly and makes us feel like we were doing our best at every stage of birth. She is a priceless resource for my husband and me as we get ready for and deliver our baby boy.

Zuleykha keeps things real, is knowledgeable, skilled, accessible, and has a fantastic sense of humor. She is excellent at making people feel comfortable and standing up for the women in her care.  I would recommend Zuleykha to anyone who is expecting and wants someone in their corner to encourage them, and advocate for them, especially in these uncertain times.

Zuleyka  has helped during my pregnancy in many ways emotionally and physically. She helped me with medications what I need to know and how to use them. She has been very helpful and supportive. I really appreciate her in my times of need and I very much recommend her to other patients. She is there for support in many ways and was a great resource for me for when I needed her.

I had a prolonged labor stay with multiple issues while I tried so hard for a vbac. Zuleykha was there for me and provided support to myself, my husband and my mother. She was kind and compassionate all while being very knowledgeable, approachable, dependable and passionate about her work. She visited me post partum after I finally was able to deliver vaginally as I dreamt about! I am not sure what I would have done without her and the support of the rest of the doulas at the hospital who visited me daily and supported me. Thank you Zuleykha! I will definitely recommend you to a million times over and over again.

This is our 2nd time working with Zuleykha and hopefully won't be our last. Our 1st daughter was born via cesarean and after 6 months we found out we were expecting again. My wife was determined this time to try as hard to have vbac this time and we were so glad zuleykha was with us on our journey. At the hospital,  she was very supportive and advocated for my wife when some of the staff pushed for another surgery. Zuleykha walked her through numerous stretches,  exercises, and birthing techniques until my wife finally reached 10cm dilation and was able to push out our 2nd daughter within 30 minutes. We are so blessed to have someone so special in our life. She was kind enough to stay with our 1st born daughter in the waiting room as well while I visited inside (due to covid restrictions). If you are in search of a birth doula, look no further than Zuleykha. She is compassionate, knowledgeable,  professional, and will always stand by you. Hopefully she will be available for us whenever the next time is as well.

We had the best experience with Zuleykha. From the moment she walked in our hospital room during active labor she was there to solve problems and take action. She had multiple ideas for positions and ways to open my hips. I would say most importantly she was there to listen and help me stay focused and positive mentally. She brought me different essential oils and talked me through how they could help me never suggesting I need to do one thing or the other. Her personality is extremely warm and kind and she went out of her way to come back to work with me when we needed to make decisions on next steps. After I had my baby I asked for her help with lactation and she visited me on a different floor to work with me and baby for an hour. I am so lucky that I got the chance to work with her and plan on using her as a resource for years to come.

We are so grateful to have found Zuleykha and her doula services. She was very supportive and knowledgeable about the birth process which we valued as first-time parents. She was always available to answer any questions, big or small. On the day of delivery, she fit right in with the team of nurses and doctors and really helped to coach and explain what was going on and what to expect. Zuleykha was a huge factor in what made the birth experience so special and memorable for us, overall, it was a beautiful process. We would highly recommend her services; she is an absolutely wonderful doula and human!

Zuleykha Ali is by far the best Doula  I know. I could not imagine my birth experience without her and I thank God she was able to be by my side. I felt safe, heard and supported beyond anything I could've asked for. 

I pray that every child God blessed me with I am able to have Zuleykha by my side! 

A bonus to her amazing nurturing was that my fiancé felt better with her there. At first he didn't quite understand her purpose other than supporting me. However the further we got into the journey, especially when it was time for my baby's entrance he felt better and supported himself that she was there ♥? 

Zuleykha or Zula as I call her, is honestly one of the most caring and nurturing people I know. And with these natural quality are what make her a great Doula.

This was my first pregnancy so everything was knew to me I didn't know what to expect. I had a lot of questions and worry but Zuleka was a big support for me. Any worries I had was quickly put at ease.She was easy to reach out to and just an all around sweet person. Best doula ever.At my birth she was there from start to finish and made sure I had everything I needed in order to feel comfortable. She really cares about how baby's doing and how mom is also feeling. Great experience.

Working with a doula was a decision we made due to the impacts of COVID. As first time parents, we wanted the support and assistance from someone who is knowledgeable in pregnancy and child-birth and who we could rely on. This pregnancy, like many during 2020, was a differnt experience than we had expected and we were very blessed to have found Zuleka and have her be a part of it.

Zuleka was one of the best choices we could have made. She quickly became someone we could rely on and go to for support. This was especially important during this pandemic because of the impacts that restrictions had on the level of care that I felt was being provided (virtual appointments and longer periods between seeing our OB). Zuleka not only offered her support and expertise but also encouraged us to maintain the quality of care we deserved by helping remind me to ask all my questions during appointments, encouraging me to be persistent when I felt something needed further attention, and also helping me bring the anxiety down that came with the inconsistent changes that occured due to COVID.

Both my husband and I truly believe my birth experience would have been much different without Zuleka. She stayed with us throughout a very long induction/labor and worked around the clock to help me and baby be best prepared. She provided my husband with reassurance and also made sure to include him throughout the process. Most importantly, she was our biggest advocate and made sure that my birth experience was what I hoped for and needed (and helped me prepare for any changes that were outside of my birth plan). 

Zuleka is extremely professional and knowledgable. Most importantly though, she is kind, caring, and personable. She very quickly felt like family and her presence made the biggest difference in our experience. We are very happy to have selected her as our doula and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Zulekha was very supportive during my journey to pregnancy and giving birth. She provided me with tremendous support during labor. I was having my first child and I was uneducated about the process of bringing baby to this world. Zulekha made the process easy to manage. She ensured my baby was delivered safe and sound. Having Zulekha present in my labor made me feel I wasn’t alone and I had someone looking after me through the difficulty of giving birth. I strongly recommend having Zulekha as your doula.

Zuleka Ali was an amazing doula that I needed in my corner for my first birth & Labor experience. I'm so glad she was by my side supporting and coaching me while pushing out my 8lb baby girl. She was a very encouraging professional who the doctors had on call. I would definitely consider using Zuleka as a doula in the future. Thank you for all you have did for me and keep up the great work. I

This was our second time working with Zuleka for childbirth, and once again she was fantastic and we'll worth it. She was integral to making the labor and delivery process successful and a happy and meaningful memory. I have generally positive memories of both births, thanks in no small part of Zuleka's involvement! 

Zuleka is incredibly knowledgeable, has a great demeanour and bedside manner for both parents, and worked really well with the medical staff at the hospital. 

If we decide to have a forth child in the future, Zuleka will be our doula again for sure. I'm so grateful for her and everything she did for our family.

My experience with Zuleka is amazing and memorable. She provided me with great supports when I had my contractions during my labor. She hold my hand and I leaned on her chest, I felt warm and relieved. She is sweet and gave more lot of good advices and ideas of labor. We exchanged cultural backgrounds. We got along so well. Love having her as my Doula.

Zuleka is an amazing doula! Both my fiance and I can attest to Zukeka ability and knowledge. Her presence during the birth of our son was a tremendous help. This was our first pregnancy and we both wanted to have an experienced and encouraging coach to help us along the way. In addition, I wanted to complete childbirth naturally Zuleka was helpful in educating us in what to expect in the weeks leading up to the birth, the childbirth process itself, and what to expect postpartum. Our son Shalom, was born at the Seattle swedish first hill. Zuleka was very professional and nurturing throughout the labor and delivery.  Zuleka was quick to suggest laboring positions and to ask questions and make suggestions that were in my best interest. In addition to her active coaching, Zuleka also provide  massage. Zuleka helped us achieve our ideal labor and delivery. Shalom was born naturally as I wanted. Zuleka was a great cheerleader in moments where I thought I would not be able to deliver the baby. She is awesome and we recommend her highly. Thanks so much Zuleka!

She provided me an emotional, informational, and physical support through my labor.

My husband and I couldn't have asked for a more kind, loving, calm, strong, skilled and helpful doula. Suleka is very good at what she does and we would be happy to recommend her to anyone !”.

My name is Alissa Wehrman and am an experienced birth doula in the Seattle area who provides mentoring for doulas getting started in the community. Zuleka and I worked together with a client a couple of years ago as a team and I am so glad we did.  Our client really enjoyed having both of us and needed both of us for different reasons. Zuleka was very comfortable in the hospital and was able to stay very aware of what was happening so she could really support our client through some challenging end of pregnancy complications. She was confident and easy to communicate with and very kind. She was always ready at a moment's notice for unexpected visits and is very committed to this work. You would be in good hands with Zuleka!!
