I’m Arezoo, an Iranian-born scientist turned life coach and yoga teacher. At age 23, I moved to the U.S. to pursue a PhD in Chemical Engineering. It was a bold step that shaped my future, but also disconnected me from my roots, my softness, and often, myself. Living in a new country while navigating the demands of academia pushed me to my limits. I had “everything”, a brilliant career path, a stable partnership, and opportunities I once dreamed of. Yet under the surface, I often felt lost, overwhelmed, and like I didn’t belong.

I did what high-achieving women do: I pushed through. I leaned on logic, productivity, and control. But eventually, the disconnection became too loud to ignore. I turned inward; first through self-help and therapy, and later through mindfulness, yoga, and a life-altering psychedelic journey. That journey cracked something open. It reconnected me to the vastness of love within me, to my intuition, to a deep knowing that life could be lived another way.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that living only from our masculine energy, structure, doing, achievement, can leave us depleted, numb, and unfulfilled. For years, I ignored my feminine qualities: my softness, sensitivity, and inner knowing. But they are not weaknesses, they are superpowers we’ve been taught to suppress.

I believe the key is balance.
Masculine and feminine.
Logic and intuition.
Action and stillness.
Ambition and trust.

Many of us, especially women in STEM, have mastered the masculine. We’ve succeeded in systems built on output and hustle. But now, we’re being called to return to ourselves. To presence. To flow. To the deeper creative intelligence that lives in our bodies.

After completing my PhD and working in academic labs and biotech startups, I chose a different path. I trained as a certified integrative life and wellness coach and yoga teacher, dedicating my work to helping others reconnect with their own inner wisdom. I now support high-achieving women in finding more balance, freedom, and authenticity, so they can lead not just with their minds, but with their whole being.

I see myself as a bridge: between science and soul, between logic and mystery. My work blends the rigor of neuroscience and coaching psychology with the power of mindfulness, embodiment, and spiritual insight. Because we are not here just to perform, we are here to live fully.
