Zahra Rashid is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her strength of character and bravery.
She is a unique blend of Persian and East Indian. Her journey from humble beginnings to becoming a beacon of holistic wellness is nothing short of inspiring. From battling childhood traumas to grappling with her own health challenges, she embarked on a quest for answers that ultimately led her to a profound understanding of the human body and its intricate needs.
She is a Registered Nurse with diverse experiences. She witnessed firsthand the limitations of conventional medicine in addressing preventable ailments. Driven by a fervent desire to alleviate suffering and promote true healing, she dived into the realm of coaching, armed with a wealth of knowledge and a deep rooted commitment to empowering others.
Her coaching philosophy is that most diseases can be prevented and healed with “small” lifestyle changes and the more you wait to start on this journey to more work you will need to do to reverse the damage done to your body. Through her transformative coaching program, she offers not just a roadmap to wellness but a personalized journey of detoxification, regeneration, and holistic nourishment. Here is what she said.
Meet Life Coach Zahra Rashid:
Name: Zahra Rashid
Pillar: The Body
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to heal, reverse the damage done to their bodies, and thrive.
How they can help: Through evaluation, personalized plans, highest quality products and personalized protocols that accelerate healing.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
My whole world was turned upside down in the year of 2020.
I became a first time new Mom (gave birth to my Daughter Feb 2020) and was in isolation figuring out how to manage a newborn and dealing with Mask mandates, the fear of getting sick with this “new disease” as well as the heart wrenching decision to choose between keeping my job and being forced to take a new vaccine.
I’ve been practicing detoxification and was on a journey, in search of answers to my own health issues for over 10yrs.
But the awareness and consciousness catapulted BIG time when I started researching more in the year 2020.
The information I’ve stumbled across was information that can keep you up at night after hearing it, to say the least.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
There is quite a bit to say on this subject.
As mentioned earlier, the year of 2020 was pivotal for me.
Instead of listening to music on my commute to work, I invested hours of my time listening to podcasts and alternative news outlets.
Mainstream news is intentionally presented to create fear.
I’ve learned in a nutshell that there will always be SOMETHING NEW… A new virus, or political discontentment, or celebrity drama to keep our minds occupied.
We are in the new Age of Aquarius and from my trusted sources and knowledge gathered, there will be a big divide between those that are asleep and those that are conscious, aware, intuitive, and awake.
I’m here to help those that are awake or want to wake up.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
We are bombarded with toxicity.
Our tap water is not drinkable, the air is sprayed with Chem Trails, the conventionally grown food is genetically modified, the seafood served in restaurants and sold in markets is farm raised, and the dairy and meats are injected with hormones and vaccines.
Additionally, our soils are mineral deficient and depleted and full of pesticides, fungicides, etc.
I have no doubt that the information from my trusted sources have led me to the conclusion that we are intentionally being poisoned slowly in efforts to control the population, limit our physical and mental potential as well as agendas including the war on masculinity.
You can get sad about it.
But i’m here to tell you that there are some amazing individuals who have created products that are so effective and worth the investment that absolutely do as they claim and beyond for your wellbeing.
There is power in numbers and the more people are informed, the less they can destroy.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
It’s quite a long story so please bear with me.
I am Half Persian and Half East Indian.
I am the eldest of 5 children and grew up with very humble beginnings including having to endure hardships and childhood trauma from a young age.
I was cultured and conditioned to eat a typical diet heavy on rice, meat, oils, dairy, carbohydrates, sweets and processed foods (out of a box) like pancakes, cereals, and macaroni and cheese.
My health started to decline at age 16 when I was feeling lethargic and experiencing painful heavy periods.
I was “diagnosed” with hypothyroidism and put on synthetic hormones via birth control (the Western Medicine approach to balancing hormones).
I remember the day that I intuitively knew that those pills were not what my body needed to actually HEAL.
That’s where I started my quest for answers to learn how the human body works, what we need to nourish ourselves to thrive in this life, not just survive.
It’s been over 10yrs since that journey started and after literally thousands of dollars spent, lots of trial and error, tears, frustration and energy expended, as well as precious time, I finally understand how to take care of myself.
As the time passed and I was figuring things out, I had new issues coming up including unexplained kidney pain, chronic cystitis, gallbladder issues, hair loss, difficulty losing weight, low thyroid which in turn affects energy, metabolism, body temperature regulation and struggled with heavy periods.
I am presently thriving on this lifestyle of detoxification and regeneration.
I’ve had over 100 colonics in 10yrs, have used frequency devices, ionic foot detox and infrared saunas as well as every supplement under the sun.
I am also a Registered Nurse for about 9yrs since 2015.
I’ve worked on a Native American Reservation as a Travel RN, in Home Health, Hospice, Burn ICU, Surgical ICU, Medical ICU, Cardiothoracic ICU, With VIP Private Clients, With Adults and Kids with Disabilities and Psychiatric diagnoses as well as Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism and Developmental Delays.
I’m currently working as an RN in Post Anesthesia Care and have seen so much in my career that is heartbreaking.
I have much respect for the Medical Profession when it’s necessary, for example: in the event of an unforeseen trauma like a car accident, surgery is required to fix a broken leg.
But there are literally a TON of issues I’ve seen with my patients that are so easily preventable and fixable just by detoxification, diet, and lifestyle modifications.
I was so sick of seeing the suffering.
I decided to enter the coaching world in the online space to help as many people as I can in terms of their health and wellness.
This includes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
My father struggled with his own issues his entire adult life.
He remains an alcoholic, and has an addiction to gambling amongst other self destructive debilitating habits.
He was barely home when I was growing up and not capable of providing me or my siblings the emotional connection or attachment we needed from a Father.
Instead of turning to the dark side, I found solace in studying and excelling in school academically.
I was not very sporty or given the opportunity to explore the arts or my interests as most children are encouraged to do so and their self esteem is built on playing sports or learning an instrument or dance.
I was always in survival mode.
I decided to pursue a career in Psychology and obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
Then as life has its twists and turns, I realized that path was very linear and my personality and affinity for diversity lead me to a versatile career in Nursing that allows you to switch the types of populations one may want to work with.
For ex: Oncology, Labor and Delivery, Geriatric, OR nursing, etc.
Psychology helped me to understand what has shaped me to be the way I am as well as the importance of prioritizing self care and mental health.
I use my intuition and knowledge of Psychology to understand others.
My nursing Profession has further exposed to me the reality of Western Medicine and how self awareness and knowledge of how to take care of yourself is KEY to a life of fulfilment, wellness and longevity.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
Damage and deterioration to the body does not happen overnight.
It’s years of poor diet, and wrongful conditioning of what we’re taught to eat that breaks the body down.
Therefore, once symptoms and issues start arising, there is work to be done to reverse the damage.
My program presently consists of 3 months of working with me:
1. An initial in depth meeting where my client and I discuss everything including health history, emotions, traumas, lifestyle, etc.
2. After the initial meeting, I compile a comprehensive personalized protocol for my client to follow Month to Month.
3. Weekly one hour calls are for follow up, to track progress, and identify major blocks which hinder the healing progress.
4. At the end of the 3 months, there is a guaranteed positive shift in the right direction towards actual healing and regeneration.
The success of the program is based on the client’s willingness to learn and be receptive to the information and guidance provided by me.
It’s also about implementation.
My client will also have complete clarity on how to eat and what lifestyle modifications to implement based on their individual needs.
No more running around MD visits or even alternative practices like I did for Years.
Everything is done from home which is phenomenal.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
I’m not sure what’s unique so to speak.
Not to discredit other coaches as everyone (hopefully) is coming from a place of intention to help others.
But I am so confident that working with me for 3 months (given that the client is receptive and willing to do the work) will absolutely upgrade the client’s wellness in one aspect or more.
There will be no need to look to any other practitioner.
Depending on the level of degeneration, I am confident most can be coached back to an upgraded state of well being beyond what they thought possible.
Of course, there are some exceptions to everything such as having had the colon removed, multiple organs worked on surgically.
We are born with all the body parts for a REASON.
It’s harder to bring the body back to balance when too much has been done but at least we can halt the damage and the deterioration in their tracks and do the best we can with what we have.
My program consists of effective safe detoxification methods including intestinal and liver cleanses, resetting the microbiome, therefore strengthening our internal terrain and adding in regenerative nutrition as well as addressing specific inherited weaknesses.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
Better sleep, improved digestion, improved lymphatic system function, mental clarity, more energy without relying on stimulants, improved physical appearance including skin and weight, better hormonal profile, increased quality of life, unclogged detox pathways, clarity on diet which is huge because there is so much misinformation on this subject, heightened awareness as I love to focus on the pineal gland.
Even Anti aging as addressing health and wellness automatically slows and reverses the deterioration and degeneration process.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
Yes.
Specific highest quality products and personalized protocols that will accelerate healing and accomplish beyond what traditional juicing and fasting alone would accomplish at a lesser degree.
I juiced and fasted and went vegan and tried countless supplements for years with little to no improvement in my own health issues.
Until I put all the pieces together and learned and practice what I know now.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
Please take care of yourself.
No one else will do it for you.
You and those around you can feel your energy, good and bad.
And if more individuals practice this, it will collectively shift the future of humanity and for our children and future generations in a positive direction.
There’s far too many people I’ve noticed that are broken, hurt, confused, and focused on the wrong things.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
Too many lessons to mention.
I will share a story or two in here.
In my nursing profession, I have met millionaires who have verbatim told me that they would give up their money to have their health back.
When I was working as a Home Care RN, I remember visiting a home that was so big and beautiful of a very wealthy family.
The outside looked so perfect.
When I entered the home, there was such sadness as one of the children of the owners was chronically ill.
There is literally (in my humble opinion) nothing else that surpasses the importance of having health and peace in your mind, body, and soul.
Most people buy the house or luxury bags, or cars before they think about investing in their wellness.
Your final thoughts?
I hope the information I have provided in these responses has given hope to the audience.
You do not have to suffer.
There is an answer to your pain.
I went to bed crying for years wondering if I’ll ever truly heal.
Now knowing what I know, I wish I had discovered this knowledge sooner.
Don’t procrastinate.
The longer you wait, the more work will be needed to undo the damage.
