Holistic Guide & Coach

12 yrs Global Health Johns Hopkins Lecturer Certified Life Coach Lived Awakening

I’m Aleefia Somji, a certified life coach with twelve years in global health, and a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. I had to learn the hard way that we are more than just a body, and more than just a mind. The work I do here is integrated and holistic, meeting you across the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies, as the connected system they are.

There are three ways we can work together: 1:1 Spiritual Guidance sessions, 1:1 Life Coaching sessions, and Thrive workshops for teams and organizations.

Body, mind, heart, energy. When they resonate together, things that have been stuck for years can shift.

Feel what your body is telling you. Breathe. Regulate your nervous system. Root in your values.

Grow

Heal your wounds. Do the shadow work. Move through the discomfort.
