“All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. If we don’t, our lives get made up for us by other people.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin

We’re overstimulated, overextended, and increasingly disconnected from our bodies and each other. But this isn’t a personal failing. It’s a response to the times. With science-based, body-aware support, we can return to what makes us human: presence, connection, and the capacity to choose how we live and work.

Workplace Wellness Programs

Remote work, AI, and constant change are wearing down the things teams run on: trust, connection, and clear thinking. Burnout isn't an individual failing. It's a signal that people are being treated like output.

Dr. Ghane offers unique psychoeducational experiences for teams to create healthy work cultures, navigate conflict, improve communication, build trust, enhance social connection, prevent burnout, and activate purpose.

Workshops are tailored to the specific needs and goals of your team.

I’m grateful to have Dr. Ghane walking alongside me — often literally — during a time of career and midlife transitions and personal growth. Our walk-and-talk sessions leave me feeling seen and help me see myself more clearly. Dr. Ghane is a compassionate listener and skilled coach who regularly follows up with personalized science-based advice and resources. Whether it’s through a customized yoga video or a well-timed link to a podcast, Dr. Ghane connects me with the tool or insight that I need most in that moment in a way that often feels like kismet. Thanks to our work together, I’ve left a job that left me burned out and have found ways to pursue my creativity and strengthen my relationships. Most of all, Dr. Ghane reminds me that wellness (and life!) is not about perfection or a list of “shoulds;” it’s about getting into my body and trusting my own wisdom.

I have been connected with Arezou since regularly taking one of her yoga classes in 2018. I don’t recall exactly how I started getting her newsletters, but I’m glad I did. The content was always digestible, relevant, nurturing, and left me in a better place. […] I reached out and she graciously and enthusiastically agreed to do an initial consult. I attended our first virtual session with the hopes I would feel more fulfilled than with my previous therapist, but I was still approaching it critically. Even under the additional scrutiny, I remember thinking that her responses were near-perfect, every time. And it wasn’t just because it was what she thought I needed to hear. It was because she has a deep reservoir of knowledge, experience, and relevant resources to call on. I’ve been meeting with Arezou for over two years now, and I still feel that way in each of our sessions.

I’m immensely grateful for the light she has helped shine in my life, for the direction she has helped me find and hold on to, and for the grace with which she approaches each of of our conversations.

Anxiety and depression were unfamiliar to me to the degree I was experiencing them when a friend referred me to Dr. Ghane. They came on after a traumatic event that was somewhat self-imposed. I felt lost, confused, and hopeless. Working with Dr. Ghane provided such relief and hope. She brought a wealth of knowledge, experience and perspective that help me find calm, find steady ground, and a path to wellness. I honestly didn't think I was ever going to get better but her support and guidance helped me organize my life and wellness priorities and achieve them one at a time. I am off my medication and have tools to utilize when difficult situations arise without feeling like I will be thrown down the pit again. I am bursting with gratitude.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Ghane as a life and wellness coach for the past few years- in that time we have touched upon so many topics. As I am in a transition time in my life- it has been a gift for me to have access to someone who is so knowledgeable in the latest advances in wellness and mental health trends. Dr. Ghane has an impressive academic background, but she is equally qualified in wellness modalities- and teaches meditation and yoga. I find it refreshing to have someone with such substance that is both a teacher, and a practitioner. Although she is my junior, I can honestly say she is also a role model for me- as she ‘walks the talk.’ I am inspired and motivated to live my best life and Dr. Ghane helps me to stay focused on my goals.

Dr. Ghane provided not only creative and intuitive solutions to what I was facing but she genuinely listened to EVERYTHING I had to say regarding my situation. She was and still is a tremendous help and support in both my professional development and personal growth.

— J.S.

Knowledgeable, passionate about the health and well being of others and intuitive. These are just a few words to describe Dr. Ghane. She supplied me with tools to continue to balance my daily life and its stressors. She is a true social scientist, pairing research supported data with common sense application. I cant say enough about her skills!
