I help Women of Color break free from limiting patterns through body-centered therapy—so they can reconnect with their bodies and intuition, integrate all of who they are, and truly live, not just exist.

I Know What It’s Like to Feel “Too Much” or “Not Enough"...

As a first-generation South Asian American raised in a Muslim, intergenerational household, I spent my life walking between worlds. I learned to shrink or shift myself to be palatable depending on the environment I was in and still, I never felt like I fully belonged anywhere.

Becoming the Healer I Needed

In law school, I started therapy. But I quickly noticed that none of my therapists could truly hold space for my full identity. My cultural experiences were met with discomfort or dismissal. So, like many Women of Color, I began to hold myself back in sessions. The parts of me that were “too different” remained unspoken. I was stuck—no one seemed able to hold the whole of who I was.

After a period of burnout and depression, I turned to yoga. The mind-body connection offered release and integration that I had not previously experienced. And then I started doing somatic work which really cracked things open for me. For the first time, I could feel the wisdom—and pain—my body had been carrying. The healing deepened. Still, I noticed the same pattern: even in somatic spaces, parts of me were invisible. So I became the healer I had been looking for.

The Work I Offer Now

Today, I support Women of Color who have spent years overgiving, code-switching, and contorting themselves to meet others’ expectations. My work is rooted in anti-oppression, cultural integration, and somatic healing. We don’t just talk—we listen to your body. We welcome your complexity. We bring your whole self into the room.

This work is not always easy. But on the other side of discomfort is the possibility to finally feel seen, rooted, and radiant. I was once a people-pleasing, watered-down version of myself—disconnected, exhausted, and convinced that joy, sensuality, and freedom were for other women, not me. Now I live, not just exist. And I want that for you, too.
