Working with Shohreh changed the way I think about self-trust, self-compassion, and body image. I love that she's created a queer-positive space and that she's social-justice oriented in everything she does. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, she worked with me to figure out what would make sense for my life and my goals. I didn't realize that having major mindset shifts would be both fun and affirming!

-Abi M.

Shohreh is a wizard at finding the heart of what people are saying. By restating and reinforcing what she hears from her clients, she helps us dig through the muck and find the shiny thing that's lurking. Working with Shohreh makes me feel warm, and seen, and supported, and encouraged.

-Kate L.

Shohreh has helped me regain my confidence in myself, which means so much to me. She's a knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient coach, and I honestly couldn't have hoped for anything more.

-Ariel H.

I learned so much from Shohreh. She always had relevant information to share and I was constantly amazed at how knowledgeable she is about so many subjects. I feel like every time Shohreh and I spoke and she provided feedback, it was so insightful and empowering.

-Pam R.

Shohreh has helped me find strength I didn’t know I had. Working with her has provided clarity about what makes me *me* and how I can use that to make the differences I actually want to be making in the world. If you need a guiding light to help you live as your authentic self and to then use that new freedom to positively affect the community around you, Shohreh is your person.

-Sarah G.

I felt really supported by Shohreh, and I appreciated the way she showed up on coaching calls! It felt really open to let me share my experiences without any pressure, and it felt like Shohreh never wanted to "fix" me.

-Eryn J.

It has been such a gift to work with Shohreh. My body is no longer an enemy to be punished but a friend.

-Mia M.

We worked on my self-confidence and intuitive eating. Shohreh helped me learn to trust my body and to love the one I'm in!

-Marie Z.

I can hardly believe I was just an online client of Shohreh’s because although I never met her in person, I feel I got to know her so well through her super personal and intentional approach to coaching. It felt like I always had a friend rooting me on and listening carefully to every trial and triumph I went through.

-Abby K.

Shohreh completely changed my view of coaches. I'd become afraid of trainers, nutritionists, and even doctors because they'd always tell me the same things (with a definite element of shame, of course), blame any health issues on my weight, or try to force their specific opinions on me without explanation or allowing me any input. Shohreh never did any of those things. She didn’t tell me that I HAD to do anything or give me recommendations without explanation. She didn’t push me to my breaking point or make me feel like I'm not good enough. She didn’t shame me for my weight or even suggest that there's anything wrong with me. She’s understanding, empathetic, and honest on top of being extremely knowledgeable in her field”
