  • Summary

  • Today you’ll hear from one of the two homebirth midwives that was highlighted and praised in the last episode. Our guest today is Sorayya Kassamali Rickicki, a New York City-based home birth midwife whose practice is called Taarab Midwifery. Sorayya shares her journey from being a birth doula to becoming a midwife, inspired by her own physiologic, unmedicated births. The conversation emphasizes the importance of respectful care, the role of midwives in providing individualized and consent-based care, and debunks common misconceptions about the safety and financial accessibility of home births. Sorayya also highlights the differences between home and hospital births, particularly focusing on maternal and neonatal safety, and the benefits of having midwife-led postpartum care. Finally, she touches upon her plans to contribute to maternal health in Tanzania through volunteering at a health clinic.
