About me
I’m Navida Nuraney, a South Asian, cis-gendered woman, and daughter of refugees who settled on the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Peoples (colonially known as Vancouver, Canada). As a Shia Ismaili Muslim I turn towards faith and spirituality to balance din and duniya (material and spiritual). I am mother to a mindful 10 year old and partner to a fun-loving yes guy who helps me find lightness and challenges me to dream big. I've worked in leadership roles with start-ups, and non-profit organizations as well as nurtured healthier and safer workplaces from within bureaucratic colonial systems such as municipal government.
Coaching Certification
My professional coaching certification is from Coaching for Healing Justice and Liberation. This program is for BIPOC social justice movement leaders committed to learning coaching skills for individual and collective liberation. The teaching is rooted in an anti-systemic oppression lens, with awareness of spirit and ancestors. The program has helped me deepen the coaching skills that I have been practicing in my leadership roles for the past 15 years, and supported me to do so much inner healing work which has enabled me to coach at a much deeper level.
My coaching approach
As coach I will:
Accept wholeheartedly where you are at and create a coaching container of trust and non-judgement.
Lean into abundance and trust that you will bring the answers to your issues and as coach I do not have to fix anyone or anything. Instead of giving you advice, I will help guide you to find your answers. You know what’s most important.
Ask thought-provoking questions to make meaning, deepen awareness, inspire hope, and open up the field of choice.
Co-create action steps after each session, make requests, and hold you accountable to your commitments to Self.
As coach partner* you will:
Develop your goals for coaching and define what success looks like.
Recognize me as a coach and not a consultant (to give advice and strategize) or therapist (to focus primarily on past experiences). Coaching is forward focused.
Be at choice and have full agency to set the boundaries; going as deep as you want to go.
Be willing to be transformed in service of your goals.
Co-create action steps after each session and respond to requests.
(*Rather than using the term client, liberatory coaches opt for the term "coach partner" to emphasize the reciprocity of the coaching relationship and address the power dynamics that come from the white supremacist cultural positioning of the coach as an expert.)
Divine Audience
The audience I most want to support are folks on the journey towards our collective liberation. Institutional Leaders, Entrepreneurs, Organizers, Students, Caregivers, Teachers, Creatives… I have an affinity for women of colour working through internalized oppression and structural oppression and navigating its impacts on us personally and at work.
I offer a free 45 min intro chat. This is a no-pressure opportunity for us to meet and see if we'd like to move forward. If what you need isn't what I can offer, there are many other beautiful coaches I can connect you with.

“Your conflicts, all the difficult things, the problematic situations in your life are not chance or haphazard. They are actually yours. They are specifically yours, designed specifically for you by a part of you that loves you more than anything else. The part of you that loves you more than anything else has created roadblocks to lead you to yourself. You are not going in the right direction unless there is something pricking you in the side, telling you, “Look here! This way!” That part of you loves you so much that it doesn’t want you to lose the chance. It will go to extreme measures to wake you up, it will make you suffer greatly if you don’t listen. What else can it do? That is its purpose.”
