About Shahin Najak
I’m a mom on a mission! As a mom of two teenage daughters
who have been my teachers and my inspiration. At various phases of our lives,
whether it be what I would describe as a “rut,” a time in our lives where we
are simply ‘existing’ and going through the motions; or a crisis that we are
going through, whether it be illness or loss; we often feel ill-prepared and
sometimes overwhelmed at how to manage our sanity.
We’ve all been through trying and challenging times. When I
was going through a particularly overwhelming time in my life, I knew that I
was ill-prepared to manage my sanity and, hence, my children’s well-being. So,
I re-energized, re-focused, and re-discovered what I knew to be true – that the
way in which I was living was not sustainable.
As I reflected, I learned that I needed to calm the chatter
in my mind and heal my soul. I began a deep and meaningful journey into
Mindfulness, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Yoga, and Reiki. I
received my certification as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher through Jack
Kornfield and Tara Brach’s Teacher Certification Program. I got my Masters in
Education degree in Contemplative Inquiry and have completed and received
certification from Dr. Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry Course and Eckhart Tolle’s
Teacher of Presence course. My work involves continuously learning from
teachers such as Dr. Rick Hanson, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Oren Jay Sofer…to name a
few.
Through this journey, evolved my Company, Mindful Changes
with Shahin. I am a Mindfulness and Meditation Coach, Speaker, Author and
Educator currently based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I support parents,
teachers, teens and children with private coaching sessions and speak and
conduct workshops at schools, organizations, and community centres across
Canada.
In my previous career, I was an Occupational Hygienist, training and educating
employees in Occupational Health and Safety – How chemical and physical
stresses in the workplace can affect our well-being. Now, my work revolves
around supporting individuals in accessing and incorporating Mindfulness
strategies in our daily lives as a pathway to create and craft a life of inner
peace, love, compassion, and self-acceptance.
I believe that the daily practice of Mindfulness can bring about a clarity that
allows us to savour the moment and live a meaningful and passionate life. Would
you like to join me on the heart-based journey?
