Hello! I'm Iman, and for the past decade, I have had the honor of being present at over 100 births as a doula.

I first fell in love with birthwork during my maternity health clinicals in nursing school. I was awed at the power and process of birth. Years later, I still found myself immersed in the work toward positive birthing outcomes and strives towards cultivating safe birthing spaces within hospital and out of hospital settings. My passions include supporting families to advocate for themselves and their families in birth, inclusion and evidence-based practices. This, coupled with my commitment for maternal health, has guided me to becoming a public health practitioner by obtaining my Master of Public Health in Global Health Leadership from Trinity Washington University, with the aim of bridging the gaps in maternal care on  an individualized and organizational level.

As a doula member on the Maternal Mortality Review Board Committee and Perinatal Quality Collaborative for Washington, DC. These experiences fuel my to work towards reducing disparities and inequity in maternal mortality and morbidity on a local and national level.
