Create a life that feels true to you
IFS, Somatics, and Creative Practice
Hi, I’m Haifa.
I'm a leadership and creativity coach, devoted to bridging the gap between the inner and outer world. I am also a multi-disciplinary artist and creative midwife.
For years, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do hard things. High-pressure roles, prestigious paths, goals that looked right on paper. But the question was never whether I could do them, it was how.
Can I navigate stressful moments with ease and rootedness? Can I create from clarity, presence, and trust?
I’ve outgrown and rebuilt my life many times and what I've learnt is that outgrowing your life is not a problem to solve. It's a natural part of being alive. The practice is learning to return to yourself, again and again; each time a little more honestly, and build what's next from a truer place.
Today, I blend IFS, somatics, creative principles, and design thinking to help you connect to yourself more deeply, gain clarity on what you want to create in your life, and receive support in bringing those creations to life. I create spaces where whatever dream or desire you are holding deep in your heart, wondering “will it work?”, feels possible.
If you’re wanting to create a life that feels more like you, let’s connect.
I help leaders, creatives, and high-achieving individuals slow down to create clarity, and bring their visions to life
Work with me if
You’re ready to bring all of you to the table
You’re a multi-passionate who’s been told to choose one thing. You’ve felt that you need to section off parts of yourself to feel successful. You are ready to create a life that holds all of you. You are ready to be seen in your fullness.
You’re ready to create your next chapter
You’re outgrowing the current version of your life and want to create your next chapter more intentionally. What you want now is different: to meet this transition honestly, without needing to have it all figured out before you take the next step.
You keep bumping up against similar blocks
Something in you is putting on the brakes. You know what you want to create, but every time you get close, something pulls back: doubt, fear, an old story about who you're allowed to be. You're ready to actually listen to that part instead of overriding it, so you can create from trust instead of forcing your way through resistance.
You have something you want to bring into the world
A book, a business, a body of work, a way of showing up that doesn't have a name yet. You don't need the whole plan figured out. You need a place to get honest about what you're actually building, and support turning it from a feeling into something real. You’re ready for a space of accountability, and meeting your edges.

Values
Listening
It all begins with listening: to what's wanting to shift, what no longer feels true, and what's wanting to come through.
Connection
To self, to others, to life. The quality of our relationships, especially the one we have with ourselves, determines the quality of our lives.
Allowing
Choosing to meet ourselves, others, and life as we are, not as we wish we were. Allowing the truth of the moment to exist, and with practice, loving what is.
Effortless action
When we are present and connected, action arises with clarity and momentum. No force is required, no energy is wasted.
Creativity
As a practice and a way of being. Creating work, creating a life, creating a self.
Beauty
A portal to love and aliveness. To witness beauty is to fall in love: with life, with others, with the journey of becoming.
Experiences that live within me
Navigating high-pressure environments. I’ve spent 10+ years in management consulting and tech. I’ve created $40MM in annual revenue. My body knows what it takes to deliver in high-standard, high-stress systems.
Crossing thresholds and being in transition. I’ve immigrated twice, lived abroad, reinvented my career multiple times, reinvented myself multiple times. The space between chapters can feel so unsettling and void, yet is so sacred and generative.
Living through ungroundedness and turmoil. I’ve experienced a banking system collapse, political upheaval, war. I’ve created new grounds for myself to stand on.
Being with grief and loss. I’ve lost a parent at an early age, cared for an aging parent with a chronic illness, and was estranged from members of my family. Over the past 15 years, I’ve slowly and surely shifted my familial relationships to create more peace, healing, and harmony.
Rooting my spiritual practice in lived experience. I am grateful to Vipassana meditation retreats, the Hoffman Process, my IFS trainings, and plant medicine apprenticeships & trainings for giving me the space and the tools to tend to my spirit.
Creating a relationship with my body. After years of disconnection and numbness, I began the lifelong work of building a present and attuned relationship with my body through practices like 5Rhythms, authentic movement, yoga asanas, and breathwork.
Reconnecting to the artist within. I welcomed my writer, dancer, and maker. I’ve written poetry, organized retreats, created exhibits, residencies, group workshops, and worked with plants.
Designing a career that honors multiple interests and parts of you. I’ve always felt like I had to choose one thing to be good at but that is simply not me. I’ve learnt how to relate to myself and my work in a way that allows the multiplicity of who I am to exist.
