“Working with Farahnaz through my very unexpected diagnosis of a chronic disease has been a true blessing. She is warm, wise, knowledgeable, and has been an essential guide for me through the deeper layers of uncovering hidden causes of disease and paths to wellness.
“EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping) is something that I may not have considered a good fit for me previously, but I came in with an open mind and found it to be really helpful. As someone who has difficulty being still for more traditional mindfulness and meditation exercises, EFT feels much more grounding, calming, and ultimately effective. I also really appreciate the honesty of EFT. It acknowledges all of your truths, without sugarcoating, or skipping the hard parts of reality and emotions. Farahnaz does a great job of leading you through it in a way that feels genuine, specific, insightful, and often revelatory.
“Farahnaz is simply wonderful. She is perceptive, a great listener, a patient teacher, and has such a calming and encouraging presence. My sessions with her have been both comforting and enlightening. If you are looking for someone to support you in growth, healing, or help open up new possibilities, you have found her. I cannot recommend her more highly.”

“I feel so fortunate to have found Farahnaz’s drum circle (the Rhythm Within) 17 years ago. Being in this circle has brought me so much joy, fun, and peace.
“Our members have been together for many, many years and we are a family now. Even during this last Covid year, we met on Zoom and connected with each other which was so wonderful for me. I live alone and my drum family is very important. Now we are meeting back in person and it is the best. I always feel much calmer and centered after our meeting.
“This drum circle has been a special blessing in my life and I am very grateful.”

“I feel blessed to have found Farah’s healthy beat drumming ( the Rhythm Within) class more than 11 years ago. Over time Farah has taken this class and created a very special healing circle; where we continue to come together to explore our own personal beat, while sharing joys and tears freely in support of each other.Farah is a passionate teacher and a natural healer who willingly offers her gifts to all that come into her circle. Also, I have personally been nourished by Farah’s magical soup (osh) and provided a gentle push while in her tapping session.
“We all look forward to sharing this next chapter in her healing journey.”

“Farahnaz, with her gentle soul and her wisdom, gave me my life back. It is like I just now understand what living means.
“I joined her Rhythm Within class when I was going through hard times, and I learned about breathing which helped me to manage my stress and fear much better. I became aware of my breathing and it’s effect on my stress level. With the mindfulness walks, I learned how to better walk and harmonize my walks and breathing, and how everything is connected to our awareness, breathing, walking and more.
“I have also noticed that my concentration and focus is better. I have a better relationship with myself, with others, and my kids. This was the best gift I could give to my children.
“I understand that I am unique and I need to have a purpose in life. I cannot say enough about Farahnaz’s class and consulting. I just want to say thank you for all your help.”

“Getting to know Farahnaz was a gift to me from the universe.
“This gift has helped me emotionally and physically and has helped me to recognize my rhythm: I can now hear my music! This has increased the quality of my life, and I am aware of it every day, and I follow my rhythm within.
“When I breathe, eat, walk, talk and even in my relationship with others, I see the positive effects and changes, which has helped me to have a better quality of life. I feel freedom and calmness, even in the hardest times.
“I have better concentration and focus, I am more positive about myself and my life, and I owe it to dear Farahnaz. I am so glad that she has come into my life.”

“On the 1 st meeting with Farahnaz, I learned that I am unique and that I am responsible for my life. That was the start on knowing myself better.
“With all the practices she gave me I sharpened all my 5 senses. I became more aware of my surroundings, nature, and my emotions. I learned what “live in the moment” means and I learned how to be in the present moment.
“I learned how to laugh in her Laughing Yoga session, how to breathe, and how to be happy and enjoy my life.
“By doing the body movement and dance to songs in class, I learned to be strong, feminine, empowered, capable, and courageous. This led me to make great decisions and be more successful.
“In her mediation and visualization classes I learned how to receive the answers from within. I am more grateful for my life and learned how to smile to Life. I am still practicing!
“At the end, I am gently teaching my daughter what I have learned. I hold her hand and I am helping her to write a beautiful song for her life.
“I am so grateful to learn all these pieces of wisdom from Farahnaz.”

“I’ve been in the drum circle for about 12 years. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with others each week, share how we’re all doing, and “play” together, no matter what is going on. And, no matter how I’m doing on any given day, I leave the group feeling more relaxed, more connected, and more energized too. We all have come to feel like family, in the very best sense.”
