My story began a long time ago, as did yours. My great grandfather decided to migrate from India to Africa with his wife with nothing but a few belongings and a burning desire to grow and to create from the unknown. They set of on a journey to mark the fate of all those that would come after them. My story probably goes further than this, but this is the part of the beginning that I know. An adventurous and courageous couple crossed the seas to the place where I was eventually born.
And so it is that I was born in the land of the big five, Kenya and I proudly carry the heritage of my Indian roots. These latitudes and longitudes only offer a glimpse into my lineage. Who I am, much like who you are, is a story that goes beyond these borders and beyond the labels that we carry.
Professionally, I’m a qualified New York lawyer and work as an Independent Arbitrator. However, there are so many other dimensions that I excitedly uncover. I’m deeply passionate about inspiring individuals to awaken to the truth of their being and essence on this beautiful planet. Why, you may ask? Because there is no greater cause than to live our noble truths and to share our innate gifts with each other on this Earth during our time here.
I grew up in a conservative culture and followed what I was told to do. I established a thriving career, and I had a well laid out plan until life knocked me to my senses and woke me up in various ways. I began to realize that I was much more than a role in a family, much more than a job and a position and much more than all the limitations that I had put on myself. I am much more.
Not too long ago, I followed a structured, linear path that served its purpose for its time and for which I am grateful and would not trade. I thought conforming to societal norms was the way forward.
As the layers of expectation, obligation, and unimaginative living started to peel away, a different Sadaff emerged—a version I've grown to love dearly and nurture tenderly.
I also went on to study healing modalities such as Theta Healing and Pranic Healing and began to allow the scientific fact to sink in - we are more than our body suits, we are a beautiful emanating energy.
In parallel, my interest in wellbeing practices deepened. I went on to become a certified Yoga Teacher and qualified as a Health Coach with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.
My mission is to help individuals understand that they are much more, to help them churn their wounds into gold and to do so through the transformative power of spoken and written poetry and the energy that surrounds us and resides within each of us, patiently waiting for acknowledgment.
“I can do nothing for you but work on myself…you can do nothing for me but work on yourself!”
-Ram Dass
