Are you ready to expand your awareness and come home to yourself ?
Welcome!
My name is Shideh, writer, coach, and Mama extraordinaire. I have sat drenched in the deepest mud of my own traumas and with kindness and self-compassion I have made it through to the other side. Although life is a constant unfurling, isn’t it? I am a work in progress, just like you, but I’ve also spent a lot of time, money, energy navigating my own life unexpected, and I’m passionate about sharing my own nuggets of wisdom with you. YES, you!
Like any human I have many parts to myself. My wise self/well being coach part is here to help you see that you are your own true healer, and that when life asks you without much warning to become the captain of your own ship, that you are more than capable. It’s possible to move beyond being the victim. Through practices and tools that help regulate the nervous system and increase mindful awareness, intuitive in the moment coaching, as well as writing exercises to help process stuck emotions, you can build a new and deeper relationship with yourself.
My creative/writing coach part is passionate about supporting writers — whether established or emerging— to find their voice, setting and holding them accountable to clear intentions and goals, strengthening their writing and helping them get their message out into the world.
My Mama part wants you to thrive as a parent — which means filling your own cup so that it pours into the ones of those you love most. If you’re feeling stressed, run down, and need support staying sane while mothering, we can work together to process and parent with more intention and space for your desires and needs because guess what…they matter too.
My intention is to never fix or change your experience, but to rather help you sit with life — the beauty and the messiness — from an embodied space so you can understand where you are stuck and make more empowering choices. It’s a practice! As your coach my job is to help you see what you might not see on your own — whether its your own well being, writing, or mothering. To share questions, ideas, writing prompts that might help you shift your perspective, and to guide you in creating consistency and expanding the tools that live within your toolbox. This work is sure to help anyone feel grounded and at peace no matter what expected or unexpected waves life brings our way.
With Love,
Shideh
“There is no controlling life.
Try corralling a lightning bolt, containing a tornado.
Dam a stream and it will create a new channel.
Resist, and the tide will sweep you off your feet.
Allow, and grace will carry you to higher ground.
The only safety lies in letting it all in —
the wild and the weak —
fear, fantasies, failures, and success.
When loss rips off the doors of your heart
or sadness veils your vision with despair,
practice becomes simply bearing the truth.
In the choice to let go of your known way of being,
the whole world is revealed to your new eyes.”
