Hi, I’m Adilah Yelton, a mother of four beautiful children, and a wife to a beloved husband. Born in Saudi Arabia, I moved across the world as an oil industry baby, living in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Scotland, Texas and New York. I offer birth doula services and childbirth education classes. My goal in being a doula is to help educate, offer support and comfort during your pregnancy along with labor, to ultimately provide a positive experience. I have attended over 60 births and support all families in their decisions on how and where they would like to give birth. In the summer of 2019, I launched my Malay traditional postnatal care and services for mothers. The word “ibu” means mother in bahasa, I am a doula to all mothers.
