Arriving home into our body and being present could be the most revolutionary act that we could start with

I am Hami (hami/they). An explorer, lifelong student, and many other things, on a fluidity journey. Among many other identities, my living experience includes trans, non binary, queer, BIPoC, disability, and neurodivergent identities and an exile background.
These aspects do not define who I am as a whole, but rather they shape my daily life experience in a lot of ways.

In this context, I also have privileges in terms of education and residency status.

In my practice under an intersectional framework, I am focusing on decolonising the body, mind and culture. I also give support in the re-empowerment journey through art, somatic practices, body-mindfulness techniques and conscious sexuality tools.

I speak Persian, English and German.

I offer:

Psychosocial counseling

Anti-oppressive trauma informed counseling in an intersectional framework based on a psychosomatic approach.
Giving support and re-empowering tools in the process of overcoming psycho-social/political, environmental, and emotional struggles that are affecting health and well-being.

Somatic coaching

A trauma informed coaching, providing support through tuning into the body to get to the root of mindset problems, patterns, and trauma, as a basic step for decolonising the body-mind, for healing, re-empowerment, transformation, and unlocking creativity.

Mental Health and Self Care in Political Context

Producing content and organizing workshops, seminars, retreats, and educational packages for activists and other groups.

Some words to get to know a bit about my approach:

Health and politics

The work around health including mental health, psychology, and self care have been deeply individualized under the colonial and neoliberal wellness culture.

Most diagnoses and treatments in modern medicine are not based on the intersectional approach; They ignore reality. Instead they focus on and normalize the white cis hetero male body and psyche. Western science itself is and has been dominated by cis hetero normative white men, with all their biases.

Holistic Approach

There are some very sustainable influential resources such as Somatic Therapy, Art/Creative Therapy, Bodywork, Sexology Bodywork and Conscious Sexuality Practices (among many others). Those resources were inspired from old cultures, such as Indigenous and Black communities, but historically were colonized and stolen.

Despite this fact, those same communities (who are the ones in most need) have less access to these resources in the time of colonization, post-colonization, capitalism, white supremacy, and all intersectional discrimination systems.

Colonial dichotomies

In many old cultures there was/is not a separation between body and mind. The binary thinking of existence resulted from the modern colonial system. This means that we are systematically and collectively dealing with consequences of colonial dichotomies of the rationalist mind-body split*. The lack of this awareness caused a lot of harm (among other things) to individual and collective well-being.

This ignorance can be seen as well in the general hesitation to acknowledge the importance of collective mental health based on an intersectional approach.
