Hi, I'm Nima.
I'm a writer, digital creator, and former life and trauma coach.
After years of working one-on-one with clients, I felt called to shift my work beyond private sessions and into something more accessible and enduring: resources that could meet people where they are, without pressure, appointments, or expectations.
That calling became Soul Strong Living — a digital sanctuary where faith, healing, and self-discovery come together through thoughtful writing, practical tools, and guided resources.
Through eBooks, courses, workbooks, and reflective challenges, I explore resilience, healing, and personal growth through a blend of evidence-informed practices and faith-rooted perspective. Some resources are explicitly faith-based, while others are designed to meet people where they are, offering support without pressure or preconditions.
This work isn’t about fixing yourself or rushing change — it’s about creating space to live forward with clarity, courage, and grace.
A Bit of My Story
This work exists because of lived experience, not theory.
I was first diagnosed with Complex PTSD in 2004, following the traumatic birth of my second daughter. At the time, I didn’t even know what a flashback was. I believed PTSD was something only war veterans experienced. So when I began reliving childbirth — feeling as though I was there all over again — I honestly thought I was losing my mind.
As time went on, memories of childhood trauma surfaced as well: multiple events of abuse and assault I had buried for years. I had spent my adult life convinced I had “put it behind me.”
But healing doesn’t work that way.
PTSD gradually reshaped my life, transforming me from an optimistic, adventure-loving woman into someone fearful, withdrawn, and agoraphobic. I was raising two young daughters — just one and five years old — while facing the hardest work of my life: confronting the past I had tried so hard to outrun.
And yet, it was in that darkest season that God met me.
The hardest climb can bring the greatest freedom.
Today, my life looks profoundly different. I’ve reclaimed joy, presence, and a deep love for living. Fear no longer defines my choices, because I’ve learned to anchor myself in a God who restores courage and steadiness day by day.
Healing is not a straight line — and PTSD has not vanished entirely — but I know what freedom tastes like. Soul Strong Living exists to reflect that truth: growth is possible, healing can be gentle, and your story does not end where the pain began.
Life Beyond the Work
When I’m not creating, you’ll find me savoring quiet moments with my family, wandering nature or the beach, analyzing films, and soaking up every second of joy as a proud grandma to twin babies — one of the greatest gifts of my life.
Thank you for being here!
