With a rich background as an artist and textile designer, my journey into doula work was deeply influenced by the holistic and compassionate care I received from my own doulas and midwives during the birth of my child in 2022. Their all-encompassing support inspired me to bring my own mindfulness, sensitivity, and creativity into this meaningful work.

My approach is informed by my own postpartum experience, where I found challenges with my mental health and the return to work transition. Receiving excellent professional care made all the difference, including a diagnosis of ADHD which now colors my understanding of my unique postpartum struggles. This is why I create resources that are clear and step-by-step and feel equipped to honor the challenges folks face after birth and in early parenthood. I also find the transformation of postpartum and the bonding that happens between parent and baby to be sacred and marvelous, and do all I can to support this development in a healthy and joyful way.

In giving birth, I found it to be absolutely wild. Through experience and through my trainings, I understand that we cannot control labor and birth, but we can inform ourselves, make choices in our birth team and prepare our bodies and minds mindfully to stack the cards in our favor for the outcome we hope for, leaving behind no regrets.

Growing up in an Iranian-American family in North Carolina, studying abroad in Argentina, living as an au pair in France, and eventually settling in New York City with my French spouse, I have thrived in multi-cultural environments. This lived experiences allows me to be flexible and open-minded toward the families I support.

I live in Brooklyn with my spouse and toddler where we spend a lot of time outside in the parks. I love to move my body through biking and yoga, make crafts, watch movies and spend time with my family where I certainly delight in watching my kiddo grow!
