Hello, I am Sannaz
I am deeply passionate about birth work and committed to supporting reproductive health and agency. Since 2015, I’ve been honored to support families across the Bay Area as a full-spectrum birth and postpartum doula. My practice is grounded in over 14 years of experience in clinical research, including more than a decade working specifically in perinatal health. This background, along with my commitment to ongoing education, enriches the care I provide.
In addition to my doula work, I teach prenatal yoga and find joy in all things yarn and fiber arts. I’m a proud mother, a first-generation Iranian American, and feel grateful to live and build community here in the Bay Area.
