Her quest for answers guided her to metaphysical therapies, and by 2010, she transitioned from a corporate career to becoming a full-time metaphysical therapist and life coach.

Born and raised in Tehran, Sehar moved to India in search of alternative treatments for her brother’s speech issue, as suggested by well-wishers.

Reflecting on her initial days in India, she recalls, “I really didn’t like being here.” Despite the initial cultural shock, India’s culture grew on her, and she ended up loving it here. “I owe all of my learning to this place. As much as I disliked it then, I now find myself in love with this country. I found order in so much chaos,” she admits.

Education became Sehar’s solace and a gateway to integration. After completing her graduation in psychology from Panjab University, Chandigarh, she delved into the corporate world. However, a series of personal experiences in 2006 led her to question the logical confines of her understanding. “I started learning a lot about self-development and energy work because I couldn’t find any logical answers to my questions,” she says.

Her quest for answers guided her to metaphysical therapies, and by 2010, she transitioned from a corporate career to becoming a full-time metaphysical therapist and life coach. Since then, she has authored two books — “Twice Born” and “Because Time Does Not Heal” — drawing from her profound experiences and insights.

“’Twice Born’ explains my journey to some extent. It shares my life story, how I came to this field, and how I use what I learned to help others,” she explains. Sehar’s second book, “Because Time Does Not Heal,” dives deeper into metaphysical therapies, focusing on past life regression therapy. “Dr Brian Weiss, a pioneer in this field, was my mentor. Even though I don’t practise exactly like him, he was instrumental in my learning,” she acknowledges.

Sehar’s journey of self-discovery also led her to recognise the importance of inner peace and emotional well-being. “Our life is shaped by our emotional state, mental state and belief system. Even our physical health is governed by our emotions and thought processes,” she notes.

Despite her early struggles, she now finds comfort in the familiarity of Chandigarh. “Chandigarh is my comfort city. I’ve lived all of my adulthood here. I love the food, the convenience, and the like-minded circle of friends I’ve found,” she says.

As she looks to the future, Sehar’s mission is clear: to share her knowledge and experiences widely. “I am planning to teach everything I know on social media, mostly on YouTube, for free. Everyone deserves a chance to change their life,” she emphasises.

Her message to those struggling is one of hope and empowerment: “There is always a solution for every problem. Change your mindset from being focused on your problem to asking yourself, ‘What can I do to change this?’ The universe will start answering and show you the way to the solution.”
