My name is Zeena, in Arabic it means that which makes things beautiful. I have always held that with a little contention. Who am I to make things beautiful. The name felt a little disconnected from my perceived sense of self. Today, the story looks a little different. As a somatic practitioner, writer, and student of the body, I have find my role one of mirroring the beauty that is inherent to all who seek my support.
I landed in this line of work as a by product of my own journey and it has felt like a path home to myself since. Today I'm deep in the work of somatic experiencing and trauma as a regenerative opportunity. That may look different in a few years as I know I am one way or another walking the path of an author. Perhaps it will be all of these things, or none of them. For now, this is me and I look forward to joining the community.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
By way of embracing the diversity of parts within me. I've learnt that little is as powerful as seeing myself in the mirror of another. How I continue meet myself with unwavering compassion and acceptance is how I then meet the world. Welcoming myself and others as is.
