LIFE COACHING FOR WOMEN+

BUILD A LIFE THAT JUST FEELS RIGHT.

Life feels different when you’re living it in alignment. You don’t need to have all the answers, just a willingness to explore. Through one-on-one coaching, I hold space for Women+ to reconnect with their inner truth, move through the world from a place of strength, and shape a life that actually feels like their own.

Clarity you can trust
Support without judgment
A life that fits you
Is coaching right for you?

You don’t have to be in crisis to want something more.

Sometimes, it’s just about having space to breathe, reflect, and hear your own voice again. Working with a coach means you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Together, we explore what’s been holding you back, what you truly want, and how to start moving in that direction - one choice at a time. You get to bring your full self into the conversation: the doubts, the hopes, the messy parts, and the big questions. It all belongs.

Learn more about how coaching works

Coaching is a steady, supportive space. Come as you are and grow from there.

It’s not about having the perfect plan or being “fixed.” It’s about giving yourself the space to pause, reflect, and get honest about what you really want — and what’s been getting in the way.

When we work together, you can expect:

  • A calm, welcoming environment where nothing is too small, too messy, or too much

  • Gentle, curious questions that help you hear your own wisdom more clearly

  • Sessions paced at your comfort level — no pressure, no judgment

  • A relationship built on trust, not performance

You’ll walk away from each session feeling clearer, more grounded, and more connected to your next right step — even if you’re still figuring things out.

A SPACE THAT CENTERS ON YOUR TRUTH, NOT YOUR TO-DO LIST.

This isn’t about becoming a “better” version of yourself. It’s about slowing down long enough to hear what you really want — and taking aligned steps to move toward it.

In our sessions, I help you reconnect with your inner knowing, explore what’s holding you back, and build a life that reflects who you truly are. There’s no checklist. No pressure. Just a calm, supportive space to explore, reflect, and grow — at your pace, in your way.

Coaching with me is for you if:
  • You’ve been moving through life on autopilot and want something different. You’re doing all the things - but they don’t feel like your things. You’re ready to live more intentionally, not just keep up appearances or routines.

  • You’re craving clarity, confidence, and a sense of alignment. You want your choices to feel rooted in something real. You’re tired of second-guessing yourself and want to feel steady in your decisions.

  • You’re tired of doing everything alone and want space to just be. You’re the strong one, the go-to, the one who keeps it together. But you’re longing for a space where you get to be held, heard, and supported.

  • You want to explore your desires - not just your obligations. You’re ready to ask: What do I actually want? Not what’s expected. Not what’s practical. Just what’s true - even if you’re still figuring that out.

Let’s begin with a conversation - no pressure, just presence.

Life Coach, Salwa
A thoughtful guide for your journey back to you

Hey there, I’m Salwa!

I’ve always been the person people come to when they need to feel seen — not fixed, not judged. Just heard.

For a long time, I moved through the world adjusting myself to fit the space I was in. With each group, I’d show a slightly different version of me — holding back parts of who I was, softening truths, or staying silent altogether. I thought I was just being adaptable. But eventually, I realized I wasn’t giving anyone — including myself — the chance to experience the full version of me.

Learning to trust that I could be my whole self, everywhere, changed everything. And now, that’s the kind of space I create for others — one where all of you is welcome.

As a queer, Palestinian-American woman and longtime sign language interpreter, I know what it’s like to navigate multiple identities and exist in spaces that weren’t always made with me in mind. Those experiences have taught me how vital it is to have places where you don’t have to explain or justify your existence — just be.

For over 20 years, I’ve built my life around connection — listening deeply, honoring difference, and creating room for every part of someone’s truth to exist. Coaching is an extension of that: a calm, compassionate space where you don’t have to perform or prove anything.

I work primarily with Women+ from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Deaf, and other marginalized communities — people who are often told to carry more, speak less, and be someone they’re not. If you’re ready to let go of that weight and start moving in a way that feels more aligned, I’d be honored to walk with you on that journey.

How it works
01.

CONNECT FIRST

We’ll start with a free 30-minute Connection Call to see if we’re a good fit. You’ll share what’s on your heart, and I’ll share more about how I work.

02.

COMMIT TO YOURSELF

If it feels aligned, you’ll complete a short intake questionnaire and sign a simple agreement. This is where you gently commit to yourself and your growth.

03.

SET YOUR PACE

We’ll start with a 60-minute session to explore where you are and where you want to go. Ongoing 45-minute sessions follow your pace and what feels right for you.

What they’re saying
  • Working with Salwa was a wonderful experience.

    Even though I was new to coaching, she made me feel completely at ease with her thoughtful, kind, and nonjudgmental approach.

    Her gentle questions invited me to look inward and brought new awareness. Every session felt like talking to a trusted friend, with the added foundation of clear communication, professionalism, and care. Anyone who has the chance to work with Salwa is truly lucky.
