Meet the Founder

Hi and thank you for visiting!

My name is Amira and I am an Equity and Wellness Consultant based in Sacramento, California. With a PhD in International Development (Hautes Etudes Internationales - Laval University- Canada) and a Masters in Comparative Politics (Institut d'Etudes Politiques - Aix-en-Provence- France), I have supported governmental officials and non-profit leaders in designing policies and programs across a range of areas, including human rights, equity and wellness, social justice, mental health, refugee resettlement and social services. 

When I am not doing the more technical policy work, I like to explore nature's sacred spaces and educate others about these hidden sanctuaries. So, not only do I speak Arabic, French and English (with a tiny bit of Hebrew), I speak nature and music (yes, those are languages too!). Drawing on this passion, I have developed several Outdoor and Music based programs that use nature and sound for healing and restoration. Want to learn more? Shoot me an email at amira@sokoon.love

And no, I have not always lived in the US. You could say that I am a global citizen. Countries that I lived in or visited include Egypt, Djibouti, Gaza, Israel, France, Yemen, Morocco, Romania, Canada and Turkey. Let's connect, I'd love to hear from you!
