Amalia Ali

Amalia is a dedicated and compassionate doula, who is deeply committed to empowering every family she works with. Amalia's introduction to birth work began in a college classroom, where she learned of ways to get involved in the movement for reproductive justice. Becoming a doula offered her the incredible opportunity to engage with expectant families and do her part in contributing to the improvement of maternal health outcomes. Amalia completed her birth and postpartum trainings in 2023 with DONA International and has experience working with families from diverse backgrounds and with various birth and postpartum preferences. Amalia's approach and philosophy are grounded in her belief that families should be empowered throughout this vulnerable and exciting period, in ways that feel true to them. Her experience has equipped her to offer a comprehensive, evidence-based, and holistic approach; she provides families with individualized emotional, physical, and educational support. She takes great pride in creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where her clients feel empowered to make informed decisions about their care. In addition to her doula work, Amalia devotes her time to reproductive ethics research as a graduate student at NYU. She has an extensive educational background in Black Feminism, reproductive history, and maternal health. She is always eager to continue learning to develop her knowledge and skillset. Amalia enjoys spending time with friends and family, trying new foods, cooking, and exploring the city. She is also a classically trained cellist and enjoys listening to music.
