You Are in the Right Place

Hello,

I am Negar,

an Iranian-American Life Coach

Whether you left Iran for a bigger dream or you were born outside of Iran, you know what it's like to navigate life between two cultures — and you want the clarity, confidence, and sense of direction that lets you thrive in both worlds, on your own terms.

This Is How I Help:

I know the immigrant journey from the inside. I have walked that path (read more about my story here), but most importantly, for two decades, I worked alongside Iranian immigrant families as a community leader. That lived experience broadened my understanding of diaspora and deepened my cultural sensitivity.

As your coach, I hold a compassionate, nonjudgmental space that honors your heritage and gets the cultural nuances. Together, we will:

• Untangle the beliefs and expectations that may be keeping you stuck

• Clarify what you truly value, separate from what you were told to value

• Strengthen your sense of identity and belonging

• Navigate intergenerational dynamics with more understanding and less guilt

• Build a life that honors your roots and reflects who you are becoming

What This Is Not:

Coaching is not therapy. I will not diagnose, treat, or prescribe what you should do. Coaching is a collaborative process centered on your present and future. While therapy is great for processing past trauma and mental health challenges, coaching is the ideal option for those who know something in their life needs to change, they are motivated to take action, but they are looking for the clarity or confidence to make the right moves. Coaching helps you clarify goals, identify obstacles, and develop strategies to overcome them.

What Clients Are Saying:

Samira M., Software Engineer, Los Angeles

"As an immigrant woman navigating a demanding career in tech while raising a family, I often felt stretched thin and guilty for not living up to expectations. I struggled to find balance and was constantly trying to meet societal definitions of what a ‘successful’ working mom should be. Negar helped me see that I was measuring myself against standards that didn’t align with my own values. Through our sessions, I’ve learned to honor my own needs, set boundaries with confidence, and embrace my roles with a sense of empowerment rather than exhaustion. Negar’s understanding of the immigrant experience made me feel seen and heard in a way I hadn’t before, and I’m so grateful for the clarity and balance I’ve gained through our work together."
