My Story
I’m Farah, a certified integrative wellness coach, and trained crisis counselor…
"Settle in for a journey with me—why not grab a cup of tea, coffee, wine, or whatever you love to sip on?
My journey begins in Pakistan, where my father's work with an airline sparked my love for travel from the very start. I had the privilege of visiting numerous countries early in my life, yet it was my experiences in England that truly captivated me. The warmth and courtesy of its people, along with their open-hearted acceptance of diverse religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, created an atmosphere of love and comprehension. It was there I met remarkable people and heard stories that have enriched my life and broadened my view of the world."
"In my twenties, my journey took me to America, landing me right in the bustling heart of New York City. There, amidst the skyscrapers and the ceaseless rhythm of city life, I immersed myself in the fabric of everyday challenges and triumphs. It was a time rich with meaningful encounters and conversations that would pivot the direction of my life. I delved into the complexities of time management and the crucial balance of wellness, observing firsthand the paradox of prosperity and personal struggle among those with successful careers.
Every moment was a lesson, yet as time passed, the relentless pace of a 9 to 5 job, coupled with my commitment to night school, began to wear on my mental health. Panic attacks and sleepless nights became my unwelcome companions, exacerbated by severe allergies that no specialist seemed able to alleviate. Despite numerous visits to ENTs, allergists, and pulmonologists, and an array of prescribed treatments, my health declined. It was a challenging chapter, marked by frustration and a deepening desire for change."
This was the moment when I began delving into my own research."
"For several years, I immersed myself in the study of how our diets, mental state, overall wellness, sleep quality, and thought patterns can profoundly affect our health. I experimented with a myriad of strategies, holding onto what brought positive changes and letting go of what didn't. Gradually, my allergies improved dramatically, eliminating the need for medication. My panic attacks ceased, my sleep deepened, and my energy levels soared.
"The year my son was born brought joy but also significant challenges. Around the same time, my husband began experiencing severe health issues stemming from a car accident. It was an incredibly demanding period, as I found myself navigating the complexities of motherhood with a baby who resisted naps and struggled with nighttime sleep."
Amidst it all, my husband was diagnosed with an incomplete spinal cord injury, introducing a new set of trials for our family to navigate together."He temporarily lost all functionality in his right arm, along with experiencing a series of unusual neurological challenges for about a year.
During this period, we were thrust into the depths of financial strain, compounded by the relentless stress and exhaustion that comes with caring for a newborn through sleepless nights. Fortunately, I had already equipped myself with a robust set of tools and strategies. Despite the swirling chaos and the tight grip of time constraints, I steadfastly continued my research. Any new parent will understand this predicament well—babies, especially those who resist sleep, demand every ounce of your time and attention. This crucible of challenges honed a new skill within me: the art of self-management.
TThe advice to 'improve your time management' can sometimes feel like an oversimplified solution to the complexities of our lives. We all share the same 24 hours each day, yet how we choose to fill those hours can profoundly impact our journey. This truth hit home for me during a period brimming with challenges, offering a stark lesson in the real value of time and the art of making the most of every moment."
Discovered My Calling!
During a challenging period marked by my second son's health issues and my husband's surgery, I found my calling in Integrative Holistic Wellness and Life Coaching. This path deepened my appreciation for a balanced approach to life, blending mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. My experiences enabled me to support others in their struggles, using learned tools that garnered positive feedback. This journey evolved from a career into a passion-driven business aimed at helping others.
My Passion-Driven Entrepreneurial Journey!
My mother was the living embodiment of grace and resilience, seamlessly blending kindness with an unwavering work ethic. For over two decades, she devoted herself to the art of homemaking, crafting delectable meals and sewing clothes that were nothing short of works of art, all the while mastering the art of communication. Then, in her fifties—a time when many might shy away from new ventures—she boldly stepped into the world of entrepreneurship. Her journey from the heart of our home to the helm of a thriving company, where she now leads as CEO, is a testament to her inspiring intelligence and boundless kindness. She's not just my mom; she's my superhero, teaching me that it's never too late to chase your dreams and transform them into reality. Her story is a beacon of hope, proving that with passion and perseverance, any dream is achievable.
And so, LaVitaNavitas came to life.
My journey has shown me the essence of true contentment and the beauty of finding joy in everyday moments. I deliberately choose 'contentment' over 'happiness' to emphasize the depth and sustainability of genuine satisfaction in our lives. Following my heart, coupled with intention and intuition, has unlocked numerous pathways for me, and I am eager to share these insights with my global family.
If you've come this far, welcome to the family! I'm thrilled you're here. Lavita Navita exists to support you on your journey towards a harmonious blend of mind, body, and soul. I'm excited to get to know you better!
