Mana’s passion for health, pregnancy and newborns started from a very young age. After graduating from University of Washington with her bachelor’s in Biology, she started applying for medical schools aiming for OB care. However, it was during this time that she was exposed to the midwifery world and instantly fell in love with this profession. Mana graduated from Bastyr University with her Master’s in Midwifery. Since then, each prenatal visit, birth and cry of a newborn has given her overwhelming confirmation that she belongs in the midwifery world.

She believes that compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based care should be universal among all health professions. Mana strives to empower her clients throughout their pregnancy and births. Mana is fluent in Farsi and English. During her free time, Mana loves to spend time with her husband, family and her puppy. Mana loves to bake, draw, play volleyball, go hiking, and above all travel any chance she gets.
