About Me

Merhaba,

My name is Noor Al Hayaa, this space is dedicated to all the women who've yet to experience self love and healing. I'd like to share my offerings with you. Make yourself comfortable and explore all the beautiful things awaiting you if you decide to become my client. Most of the things I'll provide are not something you'll find on a typical doula website. But if you're searching for something unique and meaningful you've come to the right space. There's a saying in Morocco that the mothers must be celebrated nurtured and pampered for up to 40 days post partum. I will say whether it's been 2 months or 10 years every woman and every mother deserves to be nourished and healed. You definitely deserve it. For so many generations we've focused on the birth of the baby's but what about the mother? Whether you've just given birth or it's been a few years, this traditional Moroccan Postpartum is extraordinary for your body and soul. There is no appropriation in this work. I've just recently spent time in Morocco in order to fully immerse myself in the essence of this important teaching. Welcome to the Sacred Postpartum.

Womb Steam

This is an ancestral tradition and is an integral component of feminine Shifa (healing). The womb steam is a beautiful and rejuvenating treatment for the nafsa (mother). Let yourself relax and embrace the warm steam heal your most intimate feminine place. The beautiful herbs will give gentle healing to your body. This womb steam should be done in 3 sessions for optimal rejuvenation. Womb steams are beneficial for all women of all phases of their lives and help to provide balance for the female cycle. Depending on the specific purpose, different choices of herbs will be chosen for your specific steam. If you are not having a hammam steam bath, a foot soak, leg and foot massage are offered after your womb steam. Embrace your femininity with gentle self love and care.

Sacred Postpartum

In ancestral times, it was a right of passage after birth for the new mother (nafsa) to be nurtured, nourished and honored for the full postpartum period, approximately 40 days and beyond. It is a special and yet very vulnerable period, for the mother. The family as a whole needs quite a bit of support after birth while mother and baby recuperate. In today's world we've lost these sacred practices of indigenous postpartum care. That is the objective of the birth worker to provide and create the sacred postpartum, while supporting a healthy recovery process. Unlike western traditions we honor the nafsa (mother). We do this through bodywork, nourishment and dua special prayers. Let me offer you that experience, so you can remember it for a lifetime. I also provide bereavement ceremonies for closure upon request. Whether you had a baby last month or many years ago. I invite you to have this sacred experience.

The closing

The closing of the bones ceremony is practiced in quite a few cultures around the world. It is a traditional ancestral ritual that women practiced after birth, which could be at any time, one month after birth or 20 years later. It is a beautiful practice that the Qabla's (traditional midwife) would practice on a woman to help her mind body and soul feel honored and restored. There is wrapping of the traditional kourzia woven cloths firmly around the body from head to toe. Then while this is performed with aromatherapy's either incense or essential oils, the tribal music of the Qabla's is played. There's also the option of silence and or dhikr and dua (prayer). Additional offerings of gentle womb massage arm and leg massage with oil is offered. This completes the first session of restoration and healing of the indigenous Moroccan post partum healing traditions. Then you'll sit and relax with a ceremonial nafsa Moroccan tea tray, or choice of milk and sweets.
