Hello, I am Sannaz
I hold a deep passion for birth work and for supporting human reproductive health and agency. I have been supporting families in the Bay Area as a doula since 2015 and also work as a perinatal health researcher. My practice is informed by my comprehensive and continuous educational background, in addition to my unique experience working in perinatal health clinical research setting for over a decade. I also teach prenatal yoga and love any activity that includes yarn and fiber arts.
I am a proud mother, first-generation Iranian American and love living and building community in the Bay Area.
