A Journey of Strength, Love, and Purpose

​

More than thirty years ago, at just twenty-two years old, I moved alone from Iran to Stockholm, Sweden — leaving behind my beloved family and the home where I was raised. I grew up in a warm, loving household with my parents and siblings, where the importance of caring for others was deeply rooted in our everyday lives.

​

My Roots: Compassion, Courage, and Resilience

​

My values were shaped early on by my father, a thoughtful teacher, and my mother, a successful entrepreneur with a deep commitment to charity.

​

When I was just ten years old, the revolution in Iran changed everything. The new conservative agenda challenged my mother's leadership as a woman in business. Our family's livelihood — and everything she had built — was suddenly at risk. Watching her stand tall through it all left a lasting impression.

The Gentle Power of My Father

​

When the revolution erupted, my father — then just over 40 — made the courageous decision to resign from teaching in order to care for us children full-time. That choice revealed the depth of his character: rooted in intellect, integrity, and unconditional love. He was a man of quiet wisdom and a thoughtful spirit. His gentle warmth and expansive knowledge taught me not only about history, culture, and global affairs — but also about the kind of leadership that begins with empathy and service. Our conversations continue to shape the way I see the world.

The Women Who Shaped Me

​

My work is also deeply inspired by my mother — a strong, visionary woman who remains one of my greatest sources of strength. Today, at 99 years old, she still possesses full cognitive function and remarkable clarity of mind. I grew up watching her lead our family through immense uncertainty with grace, wisdom, and unwavering resilience. Her devotion to others — even in hardship — taught me compassion, strength, and grace. These are the same qualities I bring into every coaching session.

A Personal Note of Gratitude

​

I carry a deep sense of gratitude for my parents and the priceless gifts they gave me: appreciation, unconditional love, and the privilege of always being able to turn to them for support and encouragement. If I strive to be the best I can be, it's because of them. They continue to inspire me every day.

Leaving Home, Finding Purpose

​

Leaving my family and homeland behind was a defining moment — one that shaped both my resilience and my sense of purpose. Stockholm became my new beloved home, where I pursued university studies and advanced post-graduate training in psychotherapy, coaching, and leadership. It was here that I found the path that allows me to support others in their own transformational journeys.
