ABOUT MARIAM-SABA AHMAD
Spiritual Teacher • Master Healer • Artist
I support people in connecting more deeply with themselves so they can connect more deeply with the Divine. Whether you’re on a healing path from addiction, childhood trauma, or simply trying to be a good person in a complicated world, you are welcome here.
I am a Master Healer of the Shadhiliyya Sufi tradition with over a decade of experience working with individuals who long for a more authentic, spiritually grounded life. My background is an unusual blend: Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, I trained in medical school, hold degrees in computer science and biochemistry, and spent eight years in intensive Sufi spiritual healing training. I’ve also walked many of the paths my students find themselves on, including addiction, early and adult trauma, and chronic illness.
My work weaves the analytical and the mystical. I bring a practical, caring approach to deep spiritual work, always grounded in real-life healing. I'm also a lifelong athlete, artist, and musician, currently training in ballroom dance as part of my own healing journey with chronic illness. My most recent artistic offering is a short dance film titled Butterfly’s Baqa, which you can watch here:
My current teaching focus is a series of courses designed to help individuals recognize, understand, and begin healing long-standing shame. The first course in the series, Demystifying Shame, blends insights from spiritual healing with what we now know about the psychology of shame. It introduces the idea that there are three distinct types of shame, each requiring a different approach to resolution. This class is especially supportive for those in addiction recovery or healing from complex childhood experiences.
I believe the Divine is not something we have to earn access to. It's something we remember, reconnect with, and allow. I'm here to support you in that process.
