I work with folks who feel different or misunderstood by family or community, who don’t know others like them and feel shame for who they are deep inside.
Folks who wish to create their own path, for healing and for authenticity.
Folks who are interested in deepening their spiritual practice and their decolonizing practices for their liberation and for collective liberation.
what I help you do
i help you to lift off the weight of the “shoulds”, of living for everyone else, and to begin to live in your truth.
i work with you 1:1 to lift away the toxic messages from your past, other people’s expectations, all the things that have buried the real you.
i work with you to identify what you truly want. I teach you tools and practices to move towards this, your authenticity, with groundedness and clarity.
how you’re changed as a result
You know what your truth is and you can speak it clearly, kindly.
Everything in your life- your communities, work, your relationship with your body- is rooted in your values and, therefore, in your authenticity.
why “decolonizing aunty”
I define aunty as someone safe who you can turn to for support.
i have done my own work to free myself of my own inner “aunties’” demands. i did all the “don’ts” of a south asian woman: i got divorced, came out, became an artist, created a heart-centered business instead of becoming a parent-approved doctor or lawyer.
I show up for you as the “aunty” i wish i’d had growing up. i get curious about who you are instead of telling you who to be. We sit in the healing medicine of this, unquestioned acceptance, and we help your body, your being, heal from the knowledge that you are just right just the way you are.
testimonials
“Working with Phi was life-changing– she understands the complex cultural, familial, and emotional implications of being a queer desi person, and made feel truly seen for the first time. In our work together, I found myself shedding old thought patterns and beliefs, healing intergenerational trauma, and cultivating conscious, compassionate practices that allowed me to step into my own power. Phi's softness, compassion, and storytelling created such a safe container in which to explore my own needs, and I'm so grateful for the impact it's had in my life.”
Abhas, California
Phi's coaching encouraged me to be the gentlest with myself I had ever been. The voice inside my head that whispered criticism was as welcomed as the voice that whispered love. Phi creates an intentional, soft container for the scariest feelings to be held and acknowledged. Through our eight weeks of coaching, I learned new skills in meditation, active listening, and somatic healing. I deeply appreciated the chance to explore my spirituality and sense of self with Phi, in the safest of spaces, with someone that understands my lived experience and that shares their own.

Phiroozeh worked with me for a year and she was a tremendous help in my healing journey! She has been a great listener during every session and I always felt safe to be vulnerable and to share whatever I needed to share in the most authentic way. Her soft yet powerful meditation and breathing techniques have also helped me to be grounded again and to find my own answers in difficult times.
Her guidance allowed me to reconnect with myself on a deeper level by gently listening to my body and acknowledging the different parts of me that were screaming for help. Thanks to our work together, I now feel capable of sitting with each emotion and embracing them without judgement. Another beautiful change I was happy to feel was that the old toxic narratives that formed in my head long ago progressively faded away to leave room for more positive and joyful ones, therefore allowing me to build a better, healthier relationship with myself.
My heart is full of gratitude, thank you so much Phi for your kindness and support, and for giving me all the tools to grow and become the version of me I always wanted to be.
