Hi, I’m Sahar.

I guide people out of survival mode and into a more liberated way of living—one that honors their wholeness, resists conformity, and reclaims joy as a form of resistance. Together, we’ll build practices that support every part of you: mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, and somatic.

About Me

I’m a coach, writer, and intuitive guide who blends Eastern and Western wisdom to help people reconnect with their truth in a world that often pulls them away from it. Born in the U.A.E., raised across the Middle East and U.S., and shaped by my experiences as a Pakistani-American, neurodivergent, third culture kid, my work is rooted in a deep understanding of what it means to live between worlds.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology & Creative Writing from NYU, a Somatic Attachment Therapy certification from The Embody Lab, and a PCC certification in progress at New Ventures West, I integrate evidence-based tools with intuitive wisdom. 

With 10+ years of experience in corporate leadership at PepsiCo and 5+ years working with artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, and leaders across creative and wellness spaces, my approach combines somatic and developmental coaching with generational insight, psychology, and creative ritual to support people in building confident self-trust, softening survival patterns, and stepping into lives of intention and liberation.

FAQ

  • Step 1: Discovery Call

    Schedule a free 30-minute Consult Call. We’ll use this time to discuss more about you and what’s bringing you to coaching at this moment. I can also answer your questions about my background, approach, pricing, etc. then, we’ll schedule our first session via email.

    Step 2: Intake Session

    The first session will be the longest at 60-75 minute. This Intake Session will be a moment to deep dive into everything that’s present for you as we jump into our time together. I’ll use this information to build an entirely customized Self-Development Plan based on your needs and aspirations.

    Step 3: Self-Development Plan

    The second session will be used to talk through your Self-Development Plan together, review your intentions and desired outcomes, and align on a clear path for our work ahead.

    Step 4: Sessions in Progress

    We’re on our way! With the Self-Development Plan as the guide, we’ll meet weekly to get you closer and closer to your goals. Each session will look a little different depending on your focus areas and what’s present for you in the moment of the session.

  • My base rate is $250 per session.

    However, I am dedicated to maintaining an inclusive & accessible practice meaning I believe in transparent pricing and have a true Sliding Scale model.

    This model allows me to have a set amount of spots reserved for clients who have financial limitations (limited slots available at $175 and $150) or are experiencing extreme financial hardship (limited slots available at $125, $100, and $75).

    Times are tough and there’s no shame in talking about where you’re at financially so if you have any questions about pricing and affordability based on where you’re at right now, I encourage you to bring it up during our initial Consult Call.

  • I require a minimum of a 12-week commitment, but our work together should ideally continue for about 6 months to 1 year in order to ensure effective and long-lasting results toward your goals.
