Welcome to this short introduction to Shiva Studios. My name is Najla Ammouri and I work with women and men around the world looking to make transformation changes in their lives in order to unleash their genius within. As a mindfulness coach, yoga instructor, psychologist, business owner, wife, mother, daughter and friend I know how hard it can be to juggle all that our busy lives ask of us. And I also know that if you aren’t n control of your own life, it will be in control of you. Lebanese by birth and international by choosing, my clients come from all corners of the globe and we work together in English, French or Arabic. Each country I move to with my husband and family, offers me different insights into the human experience and I have seen first hand just how many universal truths we share. We all want to live meaningful lives, to make a contribution, to be valued, to love and be loved but we sometimes get so stuck in surviving and just living day to day that we fail to plan for our future. And our future is created in our present so the very first thing I do with my clients is to talk about being mindful – of their thoughts, dreams, aspirations and beliefs. Together we identify the gap between where they are now and where they want to be – and often we extend the ‘where they want o be’ far, far further than they ever dared believe was possible for them. So if you are at a point in your life where you want more, feel stuck, lack passion or direction or have a big dream that you’re ready to bring to fruition we should talk. Let’s have a chat and our conversation is going to be unlike any other conversation. It’s a chat with an outcome in mind. Although ‘home’ is currently the amazingly vibrant city of Hanoi in Vietnam, I travel frequently to the United States, the Lebanon and Australia which enables me to work with clients in a number of ways: in person one to one, by telephone or Skype, via email, in groups and as part of a workshop or retreat.
