Radical support and gentle nurturing.

 
 

Welcome to Ancestral Birth by Sara Bakr.

I am a full spectrum doula that supports people and families through different transitions in life. I am a Birth Doula, Postnatal Doula and an Abortion Doula currently based in London, UK. Ancestral Birth was created out of pure necessity as people need and deserve better support during pregnancy, birth, abortion and beyond. I believe that we all deserve to feel held, supported and nurtured none-judgementally and with love through the very different transitions that life has to offer. We are social beings and we need community support to not only survive but to thrive. We cannot journey through life alone, we all need someone to lean on sometimes. I will not tell you what to do or what is best for your body, I will however radically support and gently nurture you through your journey of transition.

I had a calling to do this work so here I am! I look forward to supporting you in this time of transition.

Lets chat about how I can support you.

Holding space for life’s transitions.
