About Me

Hi, I'm Khatima! I'm fluent in English, Pashto, and Dari/Persian, and I'm a BLS-certified doula trained through Raya Health, with a background as a certified medical assistant. I provide empathetic, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. This work is truly my calling.

My focus on therapeutic communication, advocacy, and hands-on care helps families feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way.

Practice Philosophy

My approach is to provide compassionate, nonjudgmental, and evidence-based support through every stage of the journey. I bring empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a focus on therapeutic communication, advocacy, and hands-on care, so you feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way.

Prenatally, I focus on preparing families with education and reassurance, so you feel ready for what's ahead. During birth, I work to create a calm and supportive environment where you feel safe and steady. And in the postpartum period, I nurture your recovery and confidence as you settle into this new chapter.

Overall, my goal is to walk beside you with warmth, respect, and steady, evidence-based support, honoring your culture, your choices, and your unique journey at every stage.
