Dr. Farangis Kasymova

Dr. Farangis Kasymova, MD

Welcome! I am a licensed physician with specialized training in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Ultrasound Diagnostics with over five years of hospital-based experience in women's healthcare in Russia and Tajikistan.

My journey in supporting women through pregnancy and childbirth began in formal medical settings, where I managed comprehensive obstetric care and assisted in numerous births. This experience gave me a deep understanding of the physiological and emotional aspects of the birth process.

After relocating to Washington State, I completed doula training at the prestigious Simkin Center at Bastyr University while pursuing my US medical licensure. This combination allows me to provide a unique perspective and level of support that bridges the gap between medical knowledge and holistic birth care.
