About Me

Hello! My name is Tahirat Nasiru (Tnaz). I am a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual counselor, life coach & mental fitness educator.

Who Am I ?

I Love... all that is beautiful, loving, and kind. I love to create, design, draw, dance, run, sing terribly, and admire beautiful architecture. I also love research and a good challenge.

My Superhuman power is...Seeing what people may not see in themselves---the possibilities, the strength, and their innermost beauty.

I find joy in... Uplifting others and guiding them toward becoming the best version of themselves.

My resilience motto is..."If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. If you can't crawl, then flop around like a fish." No matter what, just don't stop.

I do what I do because...I enjoy seeing people live their lives to the fullest and feeling happy. Also, I have been there, so I understand.
