From Motherhood to Movement

Habiba’s story is what How We Move is all about.

She has taken her life experiences and turned them into purpose by founding 4th Trimester — a space dedicated to supporting parents through birth and the transition into motherhood.

As a doula and birth educator, Habiba focuses on restoring confidence and joy by offering care, connection and accessible information. Beyond her professional role, Habiba is a mother, a partner and a community voice. She brings compassion, empathy and understanding into everything she does — from offering restorative post-partum care, to breaking down barriers in the health system, to creating safe spaces where families can make informed decisions.

Her journey is a reminder that success can mean transforming personal experience into something successful that empowers others, while still honouring the practices and traditions that shape us.

How We Move is a series that captures the different ways voices from our communities navigate life, pursue their dreams and make an impact. “Move” is about more than motion. It is moving through challenges, moving towards opportunities and moving forward in our own way.

This series shares the real stories of voices who turned challenges into opportunities and dreams into reality. Each journey reminds us there is no single definition of success. What matters is how we move towards it and the possibilities we open up along the way.
