We are all complex human beings with a lot of nuanced differences in the way we think, feel, and experience the worlds around and within us. Cultivating awareness about what goes on in your mind, heart, body, and soul can help you feel better on a daily basis, and be a more grounded caretaker.
When you’re more in tune with yourself, you’ll be more able to tune into others’ needs, feelings, and experiences. Whether that’s your children, students, clients, or employees, the more deeply you connect with yourself, the better you can support them.

Mindfulness creates an opportunity to slow down, to transform reactions to responses, and to experience more peace and beauty even in “normal” moments. It also literally changes your brain and nervous system so that you can feel calmer, make better decisions, and communicate effectively.
-
You might not think that self-compassion makes you a better parent, teacher, helper, or business leader, but it absolutely does! The way you treat yourself has a major impact on the way you treat others, and on your capacity to help them. Learning to practice kindness with yourself prevents compassion burnout.

No matter your skill set or experience—even if you’ve never explored your creativity before—we’ll use forms of expression like writing, imagery, and voice to understand your inner world and engage in authentic self-expression.

The state of your nervous system and your relationship with your own mind-body connection deeply influences both your own wellbeing and those who depend on you.
Everyone needs care.
Especially caretakers.
No matter what kind of caretaker or helper you are—parent, educator, helping professional, business leader, or any other kind—you need support too!
Your wellbeing matters. In fact, it’s essential.
Hi, I’m Faryn

Faryn Sand, MA
I’m a compassionate guide with a master’s degree in Clinical Mind-Body Psychology & Education from Columbia University. I’m also a certified Reiki practitioner, a psychoeducational specialist with the Center for Emotionally Responsive Practice at Bank Street, and a longtime mindfulness practitioner.
I help highly sensitive individuals connect with themselves and create safe space within.
I support parents, educators, and caretakers to elevate their own wellbeing and the positive impact they have on others through the cultivation of mindfulness, inner life awareness, self-compassion, and mind-body connection.
I also work with children and teens as a social-emotional and transpersonal learning mentor, and provide school culture and corporate consultation services to help foster gentle environments of connection and belonging where emotional safety allows everyone to access their true gifts.
How it works
Faryn uses a gentle, intuitive and trauma-informed approach to help you connect with yourself; create a gentle, safe space within, discover your inner strength, joy, and creativity; understand your own wisdom and ways of navigating the world, and forge stronger connections with others.

It’s hard to make a blanket statement about this distinction because there are many different kinds of therapy and coaching. Therapy often involves deeply exploring your past to heal and move forward.
My coaching might touch on themes of how your past experience can inform your present, though we will more so focus on perspectives and practices specific to self-compassion building, and caretaker wellbeing and impact. I use a framework that includes education, dialogue, perspective-taking, and mind-body practices. There’s still a lot of flexibility within that framework, and your sessions will be tailored to your unique needs and goals.
It’s important to note that while I have an MA in Clinical Psychology, I am not a licensed psychotherapist and therefore, I do not practice psychotherapy or diagnose/treat mental health conditions. However, I am happy to work alongside other licensed practitioners to provide you with additional support!

You can choose from various options for session series where we’ll meet either weekly or biweekly. Meeting consistently helps us create a stronger connection and more motivation for you to keep moving forward. I also offer single targeted sessions.
To explore how I can support you and to see if we’re a good match, you can send me a message to schedule a free consultation where you’ll learn more about my approach and have an opportunity to ask any questions you might have.
