Shirin began her journey into mindfulness about 12 years ago to help with her own stress and life challenges. As the practice of meditation began to profoundly transform her life, she decided to devote her time to leading groups and individuals in mindfulness practices.

In 2014, Shirin received a Master Certification from Academy of Intuition Medicine, where she completed more than 1000 hours of meditation, and instruction in Energetic Healing techniques and Spiritual Consultation practices.

Shirin holds a B.S. in Computer Information Systems from San Francisco State and a M.S. in Finance/Investments from Golden Gate University. She worked as a Financial Adviser and a Registered Principal for 15 years with a focus on managing assets of small to medium size companies.
