Dr. Fatemeh, ND believes that most people already know something is wrong. What they’re missing is someone willing to look.
That conviction came from two very different places.
The first was science. She started out in physics, then medical physics, then cancer research.
The second was a birth. Birth is unlike anything else in medicine. It is not an illness to be managed or a problem to be solved. It is a threshold — a few hours in which a person is more open, more vulnerable, and more powerful than they will likely ever be again.

Someone she loved was labouring, frightened, and unheard. The people caring for her acted without explaining. No one asked her what she wanted. No one made space for her to answer. In a moment that should have belonged to her, she became something being worked on rather than someone being accompanied.

She trained as a birth and postpartum doula after that. Not as an addition to her practice, but because she had seen what its absence costs — and because she believes that a threshold like that deserves someone whose only job is to protect it.

She works with individuals and families through fertility, hormonal health, pregnancy and postpartum, pediatric care, and digestive health.

Her practice runs on two questions, asked together. What does the evidence actually show? And what does this particular person actually need? Neither one is enough on its own.

She sees patients in English, Farsi, and Turkish — because in labour, in fear, in exhaustion, people return to the language they dream in. Being able to meet someone there is not a convenience. Sometimes it is the whole thing.
