HERstory
🔥 My roots
I came to this earth in this life time to a family of artists, activists, feminists and highly educated women (and men) in Iran. I was born in the midst of the big revolution, during the military curfew. My birth was ignited at a healing ceremony in my grandmother’s house.
My maternal grandmother was a medicine woman from Lorestan, an ancient region in Iran. She was a fierce woman from a matrilineal tribe who knew everything about herbs and ‘super foods’ and always had a recipe for our ailments. As a child I spend as many hours as I could by her side in the kitchen, learning the art of medicinal food first hand.
My paternal grandmother was a Siberian princess from a line of shamans and a famous Iranian Sufi master. She was one of the greatest female healers of Iran in the 20th century and people came from all over the country to work with her. As a clairaudient medium she worked with spirits to find the right medicine for her clients. Together with my grandfather they also experimented with hypnosis to heal severe phobia and trauma in their patients, successfully.
My grandmothers have been my greatest teachers and guardians, both during and after their lifetime. They’ve inspired me to approach healing on all levels of our being: the body, mind and soul.
🔥 Spiritual Journey
My spiritual journey started at a young age. I had vivid memories of past life times and full memory of being in my mother’s womb, my birth and my first years. I was ‘diagnosed’ as a gifted child as I could read and write and solve complicated math by age 3.
Only 3 years old, I fell in love with the mystical writings of Rumi and a few years later with the stories of Carlos Castaneda. I was reading everything I could get my hands on with an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
Around age 12, I read a Sufi story about a pundit who was traveling with all his books on a ship and encountered a storm. As he was drifting on a piece of wood in the ocean as the sole survivor, he realized that all he knew was in the books that were lost in the sea. Gest of the story: true wisdom is experiential and not external.
I then found myself exploring meditation practices and 2 years later I started experimenting with astral traveling. Between age 14 and 16 I ‘remembered’ Buddhist practices I had done in other lifetimes and I had many encounters with my spirit tribe in the other realm. Despite the deep yearning in my heart to go back home, I was told that it was not my time yet.
From then on, I spent years with various spiritual teachers and groups and meditated daily for hours.
In my early 20’s I found my path within my own heritage as I became deeply enamored with Sufi mysticism. I travelled extensively through Middle East, North Africa and India and visited Sufi shrines and masters for many years. I learned the sacred Sama dance of Unity (Whirling) and found myself as a traveling dervish on the Path of the Heart. Some years later I met my teachers within the tradition of the Dutch Sufi Master Marcel Derkse and the teachings of the Course in Miracles. I hit home!
🔥 Student of Life
As a teenager I was determined I wanted to be an astronaut. Not because I necessarily wanted to work for Nasa and explore space, but because I needed a ship to go back home. So I thought!
During my travels in Asia, I became fascinated by how non-Western societies were engaged in a process of modernization while yearning to stay connected to their traditional roots.
I decided to study Sociology which was not enough, so I ended up doing minor’s in Anthropology of Religion, Gender Studies and History of the Middle East. My Master’s thesis was on the subject of the popularity of the New Age Spirituality in Iran and the secularization tendencies.
During my student years I had become a famous DJ and travelled the world as one of the first DJ’s to play electronic World Music (2003 to now).
After graduating I put my heart in an Iranian Human Rights NGO where I created online academies in Persian with various courses ranging from Citizen Journalism to Master’s degrees in International Relations and political & social sciences in collaboration with universities in Europe and the US (2008 to 2016).
While at the job, my roots started pulling hard and I realized I cannot run away from my destiny. My grandmothers’ blood and calling are the strongest force in my life and I finally decided to surrender and dedicate myself to the art of healing.
Since 2007 I have been exploring aspects of healing through in-depth studies. From food as medicine, to cutting edge new knowledge in psychology to energetic healing methods. I am both rooted in a scientific approach as well as an intuitive one with a holistic view on health.
🔥 Plant Medicine
Plant Medicine has been in my life since an early age. I started working consciously with magic mushrooms at age 16 and immediately recognized a deep-rooted lives-long connection with this type of medicine. I met the madrina of the Amsterdam Santo Daime Church when I was 19 and felt the calling to work with Ayahuasca. It took me a few years before I finally had my first encounter with this powerful medicine at the Santo Daime church and I became devoted.
Since 2007 I have been working intensively with this medicine in the Netherlands in the lineage of the Brazilian great healer, medium and madrina Baxinha. I have since assisted dozens of ceremonies per year and I’ve participated in ceremonies in the original settings in Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Mexico. I work with various plant medicines such as Mushrooms, Truffles, Kambo, Ayahuasca, Peyote, San Pedro, Iboga, Cacao, Blue Lotus and more. I feel grateful that these potent medicines have been gaining momentum globally and are reaching more and more people. If there ever was a time with an impending necessity for healing on our planet, it is NOW. As we are reaching the dead-ends of our modern civilization on Gaia, the only way we can change our course is to clean our collective subconscious from erroneous beliefs & habits and eons of trauma.
It is my belief and experience that plant medicine is a powerful ally to our healing and can help us make significant inner breakthroughs where conventional therapy would take years.
🔥 The Wound is where the light enters
Although I’ve had the privilege of having been born in a most loving and wonderful family with ancient roots in the Iranian, Indian and Siberian bloodlines, my life has been a hero’s journey dotted with many trauma’s and battles.
I’ve lived in the warzone, been through many violent assaults on my family, witnessed my parents and their kin being in and out of jail and tortured as political dissidents. I’ve lived the intensity of the pain of separation through migration and started all over as an asylumseeker in a new world. I’ve experienced divorce as a child and as a mother myself. I’ve been a victim of multiple sexual abuse by fucked up men and I’ve lived and survived the total control of Patriarchy and religious ideocracy. My life has been broken down to the last thin threads over and over again but I’ve learned to master the art of surrender. And I’ve overcome the hardest of all atrocities yet again, even death. So far I’ve been through over 20 near death experiences which I’ve all survived through sheer miracles. From airplane crashes to a free fall in the Himalaya’s, car accidents and most recently terminal final stage aggressive cancer which disappear like snow before the sun after a mystical experience of awakening in Oneness. I’ve been told by my Galactic guides that death has been the final initiation in my destined path as a transformation specialist and I find myself reborn fearless and ready to serve humanity with full devotion.
