Hi there, I’m Dr. Azita Nahai.

Most people who know me call me Az (as in “the wizard of..” ). There’s nothing wizardly about me. Just another humbly, fumbling human. A woman that has devoted much of her life to feeling (cuz the whole ‘not feeling thing’ wasn’t working). So, here I am- feeling and healing, breathing and grieving, kicking and screaming, and still believing in the goodness that exists at the very core of this breathtakingly, achingly miraculous world.

I’m still here. I’m still me. Just a lot more free.

The words you find here are never about ‘content’ but connection.

Connection is my medicine.

I hope they help you feel a little less alone.
