Hello! I'm Mariam
A personal development coach, and certified Brainspotting practitioner. I am an intuitive empath with a software engineering background and passion for creative writing. Thinking as an engineer has honed my analytical, and logical reasoning skills but I don’t solely rely on logic to solve a problem; I take advantage of logic in addition to creativity, and intuition.​​​​​​​
How I can help you?
Working as a software engineer for more than 2 decades, I have a deep understanding of the challenges of working in the corporate world. In spite of being white-collar workers climbing the ladder of success, corporate employees are sometimes unsuccessful in keeping their inner and outer world in balance. High level of stress, imposter syndrome, burnout, and disconnection are a few of their common struggles. This all combined with the challenges of their personal life becomes a lot to manage alone.
Having walked this path before with the help of mentors, allies, and healers, I now see meaning in helping others navigate the difficult times of their [ corporate ] life.
My Journey
Although I had an interest in both psychology, and computers, after graduating from high school, I chose computer science as it seemed more intriguing and at the same time favorable to the society of Iran where I grew up as a child.
​
My journey as a coach started not too long after a moment of epiphany when I realized my life wouldn’t be meaningful without helping people. At that time, all important areas of my life - work, family, health, and romantic relationships - were in turmoil making me reach a state to seek help.
​
When I stepped into the path of healing, I had no idea about my complex trauma. My childhood seemed normal, my parents had a good relationship and everything else after that was just life except for the fact that it wasn’t.
​
Years of therapy, introspection, along with Googling, and reading books helped me discover the mysterious world within, and motivated me to help others discover and heal what is waiting to be seen in their inner world.Up to and including this date, I’m still working on my self development. The path to healing is a never ending road. Life always has a new lesson, a new experience, and a new challenge to offer.
My Approach
My approach to coaching is collaborative and supportive with a loving presence. I aim towards addressing issues both in depth, and at the surface level to achieve more sustainable results. Brainspotting is my main therapeutic tool for healing what’s in depth (body). I use CBT, and somatic exercises as tools for supporting you through your day to day mental struggles while in-depth healing is taking place, and when you are ready to continue your journey on your own.
