Welcome, I’m Mariam…
I'm a Hypnotherapist and Nervous System Specialist. I help individuals and organizations build a more elastic, high-capacity nervous system — one that can hold fear, grief, pleasure, and uncertainty without shutting down. When the nervous system can hold more, everything that depends on it becomes more available: sleep, connection, high performance, joy, and the kind of aliveness that we have long forgotten.
Before this work, I spent five years as a Research Analyst in Fixed Income Asset Management, advising large pension funds and sovereign wealth funds on where to invest capital. I hold a B.S. in Engineering and B.A. in Economics from Swarthmore College and a Design Thinking Fellowship from Stanford University’s d.School. I now bring that same systems thinking and analytical rigor to what has always fascinated me most: people under pressure.
I weave modern neuroscience with ancient contemplative practices, Internal Family Systems, and Jungian depth psychology, drawing from years living, studying, and working across Morocco, South Africa, Somaliland, Uganda, and the United States. As a recovering dissociative person, I help people work with uncomfortable emotions not as pathology but as an intelligent initiation for their transformation and aliveness.
This work is more than regulating; it has eros, awe, and life force in it. It will give you back to yourself.
I work with:
→ People paralyzed by fear or phobia
→ People whose sleep, relationships, & physical recovery are eroded by emotional avoidance
→ People navigating loss and grief — from separation, diagnosis, to chronic pain
→ High-performers held back by fear of failure, impostor syndrome, or self-sabotage
→ Teams and organizations where unprocessed fear is quietly capping performance
