I write books, channel podcasts, share ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and dance through this sacred journey called life.
I always knew I was born on this planet to help others. But I didn’t know how.
Coming from refugee and immigrant parents and a lineage of child marriage, female suppression and political imprisonment, I always felt it was my personal responsibility to save the world.
After spending most of my young adult life volunteering with NGOs, raising awareness for Human Rights campaigns as president of my local Amnesty International Chapter and studying International Development, I realized that the true way to change the world was to change the way people think.
Instead of telling people what to do, if we could only raise their consciousness, they would know exactly what decisions to make to create a more just, abundant and beautiful world for all.
this brought me
to my mission today to awaken others to the wisdom that lives within them.
I believe none of us are here by coincidence but the very fact that you are here is for you a reason.
You too are here to raise consciousness and have chosen to incarnate at this time of great transition to be part of the shift.
Your gifts, your strengths, your interests, are encoded within you for a reason.
The very reason you have them is that within them lies your dharma.
I always say:
Your dreams are dreaming you back.
What that means is you will never have an idea you don’t have the ability to bring to life. That idea chose you as its ideal messenger because you are the perfect person to bridge it to reality.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen instantly or easily. The obstacles you must overcome to bring that vision to reality are your soul’s unique curriculum to help you embody your dharma.
Discovering your dharma is the most important work we can do and why I’ve dedicated my life to it.
I share my process and unique framework to help you remember your soul’s purpose in my book Discover Your Dharma. Check it out here!
My Purpose Is To Help Others Find Theirs
The Ripple Effect of Dharma
Imagine the ripple effect of each person living their dharma and the effect it has on others. It is the ultimate way we can raise the vibration of the planet. If you feel like your purpose is to help others find their purpose, then I invite you to join me in my leading institute, Highest Self Institute. Highest Self Institute is the home of Dharma Coaching Institute, the world’s first and only certification as a Soul Purpose (Dharma) Coach.
The syllabus includes a deeply transformational experience that covers 8 stages leading you through life-changing dharma principles and coaching tools + practices for profound success and abundance. This program is packed with actionable, interactive weekly lessons, live calls and experiential peer-coaching where you can practice your skills in real-time.
Ancient Ayurveda for the Modern World
My journey began with Ayurveda, the world’s oldest health system and the sister science of yoga based on the mind-body connection.
When I was 21-years-old, my body began shutting down and I experienced perimenopausal symptoms, was told I would never be able to have children from the doctors who prescribed me countless medications for everything from digestion to hormonal imbalances to insomnia.
I intuitively knew that I needed to reach the root cause of my imbalance and that’s what guided me to rediscover Ayurveda, the long-lost language of my ancestors and soul.
After healing my own body and mind with this ancient science, I felt a deep passion and responsibility to share it with the world. I’ve gone on to write two global best-selling Ayurveda books, Eat Feel Fresh: A Contemporary Plant-Based Ayurvedic Cookbook and Idiot’s Guide to Ayurveda, both with forewords by Deepak Chopra and creating my Modern Approach to Ayurveda Course with MindBodyGreen.
Through my years of research, writing, consulting and sharing Ayurveda with the world, I realized that Ayurveda is so much more than just for physical or mental healing, but as a pathway to understand the soul.
I see the world through the lens of the Doshas and view it as the key to understanding our purpose, our relationships, our business and essence. Being a global messenger for Ayurveda is part of my soul mission on this planet. I am eternally grateful for my predecessors and supporters, especially Deepak Chopra, for believing in me for sharing this knowledge with the world.
“Sahara is taking the torch of Ayurveda and burning it brightly.”
-Deepak Chopra,
from foreword of Eat Feel Fresh.

A Voice For The Sacred Feminine
I’m a voice for the divine feminine wisdom that is re-emerging at this time and believe spirituality is not about leaving your body, but rather about being so immersed in your body, you become one with it.
The path of the Goddess is not to detach yourself from the world enough that you can handle being in it. It’s about creating the world you desire to be part of. It is only from that place that we can truly connect with spirit, without bypassing the very realms we were born into.
This is why I founded Rose Gold Goddesses, the divine feminine mystery school, and am so passionate about leading from the heart, Earth and body.
You were born into a human body for a reason. This lifetime is about embodying out why.
Speak With Soul
Become a confident speaker in 21 days
You are here to make an impact on the world and are finally ready to fully commit to creating a sustainable and successful business as a spiritual entrepreneur.
Now you’re probably wondering “how can I expand my audience”?
The answer is by owning your voice!
But I know that sharing your voice can sometimes be challenging, and your BIG dreams to one day speak on stage or start a podcast can seem far away.
That is why I have created my brand new offering, Speak With Soul. This next-level course was designed to give you the tools to find, share, and lead with your powerful voice.
I created The Highest Self Podcast as the place I wanted to have conversations on all things spiritual, from past lives to rituals to sacred feminine wisdom to ancestral healing. I realized the purpose of health is not just so we can be healthy but so we can use them health to blossom into our highest selves. I wanted to dive deep, talk about the meaning of life, synchronicities, ancient wisdom and shakti embodiment.
And in the past five years it has grown to become the #1 spirituality podcast on iTunes with over 30 million downloads!
It’s by far my favorite thing I do and there is nothing I love more than hopping on the mic when I’m getting a download and riffing live on air with you.
It comes out every week (there are solocasts where I drop them wisdom nuggets and interviews where I dive deep with an epic guest) and is available on iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud or Youtube!
