The idea for Live with Intention, and specifically my course Positive Birth Through Surah Maryam, began during my own pregnancy while I was completing my Master's degree at Harvard Law School. As a lawyer, I'm a researcher by nature, and I quickly realized that the story we're told about birth is often laced with fear. In my research, I discovered that the most beautiful and concise blueprint for a positive, natural birth is actually found in the Quran, in the story of Maryam, may Allah be pleased with her. For the past nine years my mission has been to help other Muslim women approach birth not with fear, but with tawakkul - with a firm trust in Allah - by using this powerful, divinely-guided framework.

“ALHAMDULILLAH I attended Fatima's Positive Birthing workshop and I have to say it was so empowering and well researched Mashaa ALLAH. I went into my labour knowing what to expect and how to enjoy this experience instead of fighting it. I did have the birth of my dreams ALHAMDULILLAH.”
Najma

“Besides my actual birth, the course helped me work through my other births and enabled my mental and emotional preparation which I never knew natural labour required.
And alhamdulillah I got to experience a natural birth, and even if I didn't, your course was definitely worth it!”
Fatima C.

“The birth workshop held by Fatima was a game changer for me. I still think about her analogies and anecdotes 3 years later. Fatima proves with science and research how amazing birth can be if we just let it. I would highly highly recommend this to all expecting couples. We loved it.”
