HI THERE, I’M NADIA.

I'm a Certified Trauma-Informed Generative Coach and founder of MND MTTRS, based in Los Angeles, California. I help individuals, leaders, and teams reconnect with themselves by exploring the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped how they move through the world.

MND MTTRS was born from my own journey of healing, self-discovery, and remembering who I was beneath years of survival—with the hope of creating the kind of space I once needed.

My mission is to help people reconnect with who they are, create lives that feel more authentic and aligned, and remember that this journey doesn't have to feel so serious—or so lonely.

Because healing, growth, and transformation have room for curiosity, laughter, and play.

MY STORY

THE BEGINNING

01

As a first-generation Iranian-American born and raised in Southern California, I grew up between two worlds—trying to understand where I belonged while navigating different cultures, expectations, identities, and trauma that I didn't yet have the ability to understand.

Over time, those experiences layered on top of one another and, piece by piece, I began losing parts of myself. 

I learned how to survive, living in a constant state of dissociation and survival mode. But surviving wasn't enough to unpack the rocks that had been placed in my backpack over the years. Eventually, it became too heavy to carry alone.

THE TURNING POINT

02

Crushed by the weight of the backpack that had been filled up over the years I could no longer walk with it on. I entered the darkest period of my life. 

For many months I searched for help and spaces that could provide the support I so desperately needed, but was let down time and time again. Eventually, I landed in the right hands and, with the right help, started removing the rocks in my backpack one by one. 

As I removed those rocks, I began connecting the dots between my trauma, identity, survival patterns, and the ways my nervous system had adapted to protect me.

While this process was far from linear, it was the beginning of what was the most beautifully messy journey of my life.

FINDING MY WAY BACK

03

I became deeply committed to understanding myself – rewiring my nervous system, overcoming my fears, finally finding all the parts of myself that I had lost for so many years, reconnecting with the little me, and slowly creating a life rooted in alignment, not fear.

I knew I had a long road ahead of me, but I was determined to get to the other side, knowing that I one day wanted to inspire others to do the same.             

And this was my inspiration for MND MTTRS. 

I wanted to create a space that felt different from the ones I encountered along my journey that felt cold, clinical, and oftentimes, lonely.

A space that felt warm, authentic, culturally aware, playful, safe, and ultimately, more human. To give others the space I desperately needed in some of the most challenging moments of my life. 

Today it’s the greatest honor of my life to create that space for others to walk alongside so many incredible humans as they embark on their own journeys of healing, growth, and transformation.

The journey back to who I came into this world as.

Trained. Lived. Practiced.
