Hi, I’m Nahid.
Let’s start with the basics. Born and raised on the west side and currently residing on the east coast of the United States, I had about as typical and dysfunctional of an upbringing as one could expect. My parents are from Central Asia while I was born and raised here in the US, yet do not fit in with any one ethnicity, region or group of people. The first 25 years of my life was drenched in poverty. I’ve experienced the usual traumas: dysfunctional family, poverty, abusive relationships, homelessness, and having my daughter at a young age. On the flip side, I’ve also experienced some wonderful things: college, financial growth, travel, obtaining a graduate degree while working, losing 75+ lbs, a wonderful mother-daughter relationship, spiritual growth, and some amazing connections. In other words, I’ve had a vast array of experiences on both ends of the spectrum. Most would never guess that English was my second language, and I became nearly conversationally fluent in a third language. Questions are my fourth language; my curiosity has no bounds. I’m compassionate, empathetic and have a high level of integrity yet communicate concisely and directly. During pastimes, you can find me with loved ones, reading, eating out, and taking walks in sunshine when the weather permits.
I thought everyone could do it.
There was no single event that I could pinpoint in which I became aware of the abilities I have. I grew up completely oblivious to my intuition and healing abilities. When my daughter was a toddler, she started repeatedly getting sick. Horrible coughs that would end with her gagging or vomiting, ear infections, digestive issues, and it seemed like there was no end in sight. Doctors continuously prescribed antibiotics saying it could be this or it could be that, never being able to provide a definitive diagnosis, even with allergy tests. That’s when I started giving my intuition a chance. I removed certain products from her diet and used holistic methods (garlic!) for her ear infections, and like magic her issues instantly subsided. Years later, she suffered growing pains that left her bawling. I would hold the joints and areas that were in pain, transmute the energy, and within three minutes, her crying would subside and the pain gone. She’s now well into her teens, has a love for veggies unlike any teen and doing very well. I thought what I was doing was just “mommy intuition” and everyone had it, but I quickly realized that that wasn’t the case.
Why Oak Tree Healings?
There are so many reasons why I launched Oak Tree Healings, but it boils down to one thing: I want to help people heal themselves, whether it’s physical, emotional, relational, or spiritual, and shift their mindset in approaching overall wellbeing. There is a huge chasm in society’s understanding of how intertwined our physical bodies are to our mental, emotional and spiritual health. That’s where I come in. I want to bridge this gap by helping people discover holistic avenues to a healthier and happier version of themselves. I want to encourage approaching wellness by thinking what your body needs to function beautifully, what your mind and soul craves to feel best, and most of all, I want more people to believe in their own power to help themselves.
So why Oak Tree? The name Oak Tree came to me through my guides. Right after a reading, I decided to ask my guides what I should name my website. I had already selected the olive green and champagne gold colors but hadn’t found a name to match the theme and personally resonate with me. The words ‘oak tree’ instantly came through, and a sudden feeling of being rooted and seeped in wisdom followed. It just clicked.
