Hi, I’m Hiba!

I am the founder + creator of (un)jaan. I have been on my own healing journey for the past 10 years.

  • I AM:

    a daughter, sister, friend and spiritual activist.

  • I BELIEVE:

    in the interconnectedness of all beings and non-beings and our potential to create, grow, nurture, release and heal.

  • I FIND JOY IN:

    my parents’ belly laughs; a deep night’s sleep; starting/completing a journal; being understood; and witnessing others on their journeys.

  • I AM CURIOUS ABOUT:

    the relationship between joyful moments and deep healing; the human mind; all the beings I haven’t met; what it feels like to be an eldest, immigrant daughter who takes care of herself; and other worlds.

  • I AM DEEPLY MOVED BY:

    the rhythms and cycles of nature; the transformative power of one being’s unconditional love for another; and the commitment one can have to their craft.

  • I VALUE:

    the wisdom I/we have inherited; the labor of our elders; vulnerability; and loving on others

  • I AM MOST AT PEACE WHEN:

    I am connected to my body, Earth and breath.

  • I WANT TO GROW:

    my patience and loving-kindness, particularly for those with whom I disagree or feel hurt by; my trust in my intuition; my capacity to surrender; and the practice of loving all of myself, even the parts I’m conditioned to despise.

What are you passionate about?

I have a deep passion for connection and healing that I interweave in all of my engagements both personal and professional. Whether I am consulting with an organization or bringing friends together for karaoke (spoiler alert- my go to songs are anything by Beyoncé) I always work to center love and care. Being a part of (un)jaan's community and offerings has been so enriching and I'm glad to be a part of it!

What is healing to you?

Community, practice/experimentation, and embodiment are all ways I experience healing!

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about engaging with humanity in all aspects of life. I love using communications as a bridge for drawing attention to stories, forging connections in spaces with loved ones, and celebrating culture through traveling, eating, art, sports, and life. Just as I’ve benefited from (un)jaan’s offerings, I am drawn to spread (un)jaan’s value to the world!

What is healing to you?

Sensory experiences, laughter, and time with family and friends. From sharing a meal with the people I love, hearing the sounds of nature on a long walk, or smelling the vapor of incense, I love playing with sights, sounds, touch, smells, and tastes across all experiences.

Reach Out!

What are you passionate about?

Much like the seasons of life, my passions live on a continuum, but the few that fall in the unalterable gooey center and are a core part of my being include family, self-improvement and cats. Being around loved ones who are supportive and warm-hearted, engaging in experiences that help me build on myself and loving cats and their majestic awesomeness is my personal evergreen formula to living and dealing with life’s unpredictable nature. These passions and more are alive and thriving within (un)jaan, its purpose and offerings; and I look forward to sharing their infinite value with the (un)jaan community.

What is healing to you?

Healing is interwoven in my day to day. Healing is all about engaging and indulging in moments of the everyday that bring joy, calmness, rejuvenation and motivation for the mind and body. Healing is laughing. Healing is my morning showers. Healing is my midday coffee shop pick me ups. Healing is an iced brown sugar milk tea. Healing is one on one playtime with my cats. Healing is also hugging and kissing my cats like an all you can eat buffet. Healing is a kickboxing class. Healing is daily dinners with family. Healing is watching episode reruns of Parks and Recreation and The Office when I have nothing, but also everything left to do.
