Hello, beautiful soul

Welcome to nush:u, a safe and nurturing space for women—just like you—who often find themselves being the first, the only, or one of the few* in the (board) room. Here, we create a community where your origin story, your identity and your strength are honoured and celebrated. This is a place where we celebrate and honour our foremothers and the wisdom they passed down, and where we lead with purpose, power, and legacy.
At nush:u, we believe that feminine ancestral wisdom is the key to unlocking your true leadership potential. Safiyeh’s unique method is designed to help you step fully into your identity, embrace the wisdom of those who came before you, and navigate spaces where you may feel underrepresented.

Through science and soul-based mentorship, I help you reclaim your power, redefine your leadership, and reconnect with your true self.
