Restoring Traditional Birth Practices with Nicola Goodall

Raised in the hip hop and muslim community in South London, Nicola Mahdiyyah Goodall has been involved in birth for almost thirty years. She was guided by her adopted mama Rifat Peggy Nafisa Brown - a traditional midwife taught by God, her local Grand Midwives and her local indigenous elders in Portland. Officially trained in 2002 with Michel Odent as one of the first Paramana Doulas. She works actively not only as a doula, but is also part of many different initiatives which promote good health for women. She is the founder of the Red Tent Doulas training initiative and the director of the Wysewomen - a series of learning circles aimed at women sharing with women through storytelling, publications and healthy social media, to bring back traditional practices in our modern world, a growing apothecary and a publishing company. Red Tent now includes End of Life doula, traditional postpartum, TCM and radical educators preparation. She utilises her many ancestral lines and endeavours to weave them all together to bring back the traditional universal healing modalities we have discarded.
