Today in my FIRST INTERVIEW on the podcast, I am talking to Faiza Sheikh-Mian where we discuss the powerful practice of breathwork and the breath work session I did with her. We also discuss Faiza’s personal journey to a holistic approach to mental health and wellness, nervous system regulation and so much more!

Faiza is a licensed clinical therapist, nervous system + somatic practitioner and holistic coach. She is the visionary behind Sage & Serenity, where she passionately serves adults, teens, families, and couples.

With a rich background in the mental health field, Faiza’s transformative journey led her to embrace holistic practices, integrating mind, body, and soul. Through her personal and professional experiences, she discovered that conventional talk therapy often fell short of reaching the deeper layers of healing. This insight drove her to pursue and master alternative modalities such as movement and breath-work to help foster profound inner peace, wholeness, and confidence.

When Faiza first explored breath-work, she was struck by its immediate impact—how a few mindful breaths could calm her racing mind and steady her inside out.

She believes the power of your breath can be transformative. Faiza is thrilled to introduce her latest venture – a breath-work movement/"membership" called "We Breath, Move & Heal Here". This space is more than just an exercise; it’s a doorway to self-awareness and a deeper connection with oneself through the power of community.

Faiza's clients express a sense of empowerment and feeling more connected to their authentic selves through her coaching.

Through Faiza's own embodied practice, she helps individuals gain access to a natural resource within you that can regulate emotions, reduce stress, and enhance your overall well-being. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, anxious, or simply overwhelmed, this offering is a gentle invitation to return to your foundational rhythms and rediscover peace from within. It’s an experience that invites curiosity and rewards you with clarity and serenity.
