Hello! I'm Iman, and for the past decade, I have had the honor of being present to over 100 births and hours of postpartum support for families in the Washington, DC area.

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 find 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 supporting families from a community and systems level approach for change.
