About
Hi! I'm Shahin
I’m a Mindfulness Meditation Coach, Speaker, Author and Educator currently based in Toronto, Canada. I conduct workshops at community centres, businesses, and schools across Lower Mainland communities in Vancouver BC and in Ontario. My passion lies in supporting parents, children, teachers, and employees in learning and incorporating Mindfulness strategies into their daily lives as a pathway to creating and crafting a life of gratitude, compassion, and self-acceptance. I believe that the practice of Mindfulness is a cornerstone in bringing about clarity, calm, and presence in our lives and our relationships.
"Before taking the mindfulness classes I wasn't sure what to expect, but after the first class, I knew that was one of the best things I did for myself...She used perfect examples and great exercises to make mindfulness more practical. Thank you again Shahin!"
I’m a mom on a mission! As a mom of two teenage daughters who have been my teachers and my inspiration. At various phases of our lives, whether it be what I would describe as a “rut,” a time in our lives where we are simply ‘existing’ and going through the motions; or a crisis that we are going through, whether it be illness or loss; we often feel ill-prepared and sometimes overwhelmed at how to manage our sanity.
We’ve all been through trying and challenging times. When I was going through a particularly overwhelming time in my life, I knew that I was ill-prepared to manage my sanity and, hence, my children’s well-being. So, I re-energized, re-focused, and re-discovered what I knew to be true – that the way in which I was living was not sustainable.
As I reflected, I learned that I needed to calm the chatter in my mind and heal my soul. I began a deep and meaningful journey into Mindfulness, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Yoga, and Reiki. I received my certification as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher through Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s Teacher Certification Program. I got my Masters in Education degree in Contemplative Inquiry and have completed and received certification from Dr. Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry Course and Eckhart Tolle’s Teacher of Presence course. My work involves continuously learning from teachers such as Dr. Rick Hanson, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Oren Jay Sofer…to name a few.
Through this journey, evolved my Company, Mindful Changes with Shahin. I am a Mindfulness and Meditation Coach, Speaker, Author and Educator currently based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I support parents, teachers, teens and children with private coaching sessions and speak and conduct workshops at schools, organizations, and community centres across Canada.
In my previous career, I was an Occupational Hygienist, training and educating employees in Occupational Health and Safety – How chemical and physical stresses in the workplace can affect our well-being. Now, my work revolves around supporting individuals in accessing and incorporating Mindfulness strategies in our daily lives as a pathway to create and craft a life of inner peace, love, compassion, and self-acceptance.
I believe that the daily practice of Mindfulness can bring about a clarity that allows us to savour the moment and live a meaningful and passionate life. Would you like to join me on the heart-based journey?
