I’m also a paradox, a shape-shifter, magician, wisdom carrier, survivor and healer. I’m the byproduct of a surreal life; a daughter of a child-laborer-turned-fashion-designer for the red carpet crowd. An Iranian-political-activist-turned-refugee. Tech-leader-turned-medicine-woman.
The of reinvention runs in my blood.

I vehemently resist definition, because doesn’t stay within the lines.

I'm Anahita
hi!
Anais
I’ve survived Iranian jail cells, escaped to the refugee camps in Austria. I found my stride in the UCLA lecture halls. I spent years studying with master Shamans in the Amazonian jungle. From the board room, to the joy-infused dust of Burning Man, I’ve enjoyed the deep honor and privilege to live, experience, love, win, lose, dare, and thrive in this magnificent wilderness of a ride.
In fact, I fought tooth-and-nail to maintain my comfortable status quo, but life had other plans. Following a near death accident in the Peruvian Amazon in 2013, I found my body ravaged by debilitating pain which doctors had no answers to. My three-year quest to find a solution delivered me to mind-body medicine as I began to unpack decades of trauma, survival patterns, and false belief systems that were holding my nervous system hostage.
I didn’t choose this path.
This path chose me.
a vibrant life
the
Breakthrough
Soon I began to realize that those most likely to develop burnout and stress-induced illnesses share a unique nervous system profile...
In 2016, I took a break from my career to tend to my health and never looked back.
As I healed my own body out of permanent disability, I dedicated years to studying trauma, resilience, neuroscience, pain, and mental health integrative medicine.
They also tend to be courageous, intelligent and compassionate. They are leaders who usher in the next phase of impactful solutions, the kind that must be well-equipped to lead humanity during these pivotal times.
This is the path that delivered me here to serve as a force for healing, inspiration, justice, and wisdom.
Since then, I have unified and integrated my formal studies with my extensive experience in intentional and ceremonial practice and facilitation of psychedelic medicines in service to vitality, fulfillment, and freedom for impact leaders and conscious couples.
Why conscious couples? Because relationship challenges have a massive impact on our resilience and well-being, and our world needs more leaders who are connected to their heart and nurtured by harmonious love. Because when we create from harmony and love, our impact is multiplied.

Testimonials
"It wasn't just the safe and loving way Anahita facilitated us through each practice, but the profoundly practical ways she has to foster deeper intimacy in our relationship-to ourselves and each other.
Anahita is a true master and my new relationship guru! Harmonious Hearts is the missing piece in relationship coaching conversations."

"Surviving life-threatening cancer, divorce and career adjustment created a lot of trauma/anxiety within me. I was referred to Anahita through a friend and to say that interaction helped save my life is not me being hyperbolic. Anahita developed a program to specifically address my issues and the results have been truly wonderful. I now have a platform of skills, and resources that help keep me balanced, living within the moment (knowing we all struggle at times), and enjoying life. I'm beyond grateful.”
"The experience I have had with Anahita coaching me through the past few months has been unbelievable. I've learned how to breathe, relieve back pain and tension, and how to microdose for mental and physical health.
The experience has been out of this world. I strongly recommend anyone to use her services for significant and lasting results. She is caring, understanding, and most of all an amazing counselor."
