She values personal connection and takes the time to learn about her clients' individual needs so she can help them feel prepared and informed as they explore new spaces around birth and parenting. Kalifa is committed to helping her clients find clarity amongst the abundance of choices that are available to them. She understands the challenge of navigating new experiences and reminds her clients to be gentle with the process of finding comfort in change. Throughout Kalifa’s journey of self-education, health, and awareness where she discovered the many hurdles women face from pre-birth to postpartum stages in the birthing process. This journey shaped her belief in the importance of building a community where all people are valued for their choices and are given access to the type of support they need. Kalifa works with women in her Brooklyn community as a volunteer midwife assistant at Brooklyn Birthing Center (BBC). She also travels once a year to Bali to volunteer at Ubud Birthing Center Bumi Sehat. She fully believes in all of her clients and encourages them to trust themselves, connect to their bodies, and use their breath as they make the transformation to becoming a parent. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening at her community garden in Brooklyn, preparing plant-based meals that fully support the mind, body, soul, and the planet, traveling the world to enhance her knowledge, riding around NYC on her motor scooter, and living a low-waste lifestyle. Kalifa now lives in Melbourne, Australia to practice and expand her Doula work and contribute to the community. She volunteers at Birth for HumanKind an Organization that supports women experiencing disadvantages.
