About

Every birth is a story of transformation, strength, and empowerment. As a midwife with a passion for natural childbirth, I’ve had the honor of guiding women through their most pivotal life moments—from pregnancy to postpartum recovery. With expertise in physiological childbirth and holistic care, I provide compassionate, evidence-based support that respects each mother’s unique journey. Currently, I serve as a Midwife at Shahid Taleghani Hospital, where I lead workshops on Physiological Childbirth, equipping expectant mothers with essential tools for a positive, empowering birth experience. In my freelance practice, I offer personalized care, including pregnancy yoga, prenatal and postpartum support, and gender determination services, helping families feel confident and informed at every step. Whether in a clinical setting or offering one-on-one consultations, my mission is clear: to ensure every woman feels supported, educated, and respected throughout her maternity journey. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together to empower more women through the art of childbirth.
