About the owner:

Farah Bekdash is a childbirth educator, prenatal yoga instructor, labor doula and postpartum belly binder. She began this work after the birth of her second child. Farah is a mom to three, who gave her the opportunity to experience a scheduled Cesarean, medicated and unmedicated VBAC births in both the Middle East and DC. Motivated by the range in birth experiences, Farah created Find Your Joyful Birth, to offer nonjudgmental support to families and help them achieve their birth and postpartum goals as well as finding the joy in what they actually experience. Farah also holds a Master’s of Science in Biology and is a certified kid’s yoga teacher. She thrives on travel, reading a great book, tea time and sunshine.
