Meet Your Doula:

Noshaba Bhatti (they/she) is an experienced trauma-informed, healing-centered, and evidence-based fertility, birth, and postpartum doula. She has over seventeen years of experience providing trauma-informed, client-centered, queer and trans affirming direct services, advocacy, and education in various public health settings. A Full-Spectrum Birth Worker since 2014, they provide informational, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical support during the entire perinatal period. They draw on both evidence-based research and traditional wisdom to support their clients.

In addition to labor support, their expertise includes teaching people the Fertility Awareness Method to create and prevent pregnancies, providing education and support for donor inseminations (ICI and IUI), helping clients select care providers that align with their values, supporting people struggling with infertility and perinatal loss, providing postpartum care and lactation support, and providing education on newborn and infant care.

Noshaba is also a Certified Reiki Practitioner, Intuitive Energy Healer, Yoga Nidra facilitator, and a skilled Sexual and Reproductive Health Educator. They are deeply committed to reproductive justice and birth justice, and they believe in providing clients with all the information they need to make informed choices that are right for them. Doula clients appreciate her extensive knowledge and experience, her compassionate and accessible communication style, and her ability to provide comprehensive, holistic, ongoing support, education, and guidance throughout the perinatal period. Noshaba’s approach to doula care is to meet people where they are at, centering their needs and goals, and customizing her approach to best meet her clients’ needs.
