Asal Hadassah Zar
Asal Hadassah Zar has shared her passion of supporting and empowering women towards harnessing their feminine gifts for almost 10 years. Her journey began when she embarked on a spiritual pursuit toward living a wholesome life that engaged mind, body, and soul. Her life travels led her to deeper self discovery and awakened a desire to more skillfully support women in their unique life stories.
In 2013 Hadassah received her Doula certification through DONA. She trained in New York City through Debra Pascali Bonaro, a pioneer in reminding humanity that birth can be full of pleasure and delight. Debra is the creator and director of Orgasmic Birth, a documentary that examines the intimate nature of birth, an everyday miracle. Hadassah's mentorship with Debra infused her with seeing the powerful role of labor support and the effect birth plays in women’s lives when they are permitted to experience it fully. She has transmitted these beliefs to hundreds of families over the years.
Hadassah is a co-founder of the Greater Boston Doula Circle; a doula collective that works to provide layers of support for families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenting. She's also a certified Hatha Yoga instructor and teaches kids yoga, power yoga, and prenatal yoga in Brookline and Brighton, MA. Hadassah is also a certified Hypnobabies doula and HypnoBirthing childbirth educator and regularly teaches classes in the Boston area.
