Meet Safia Abji
Safia Abji is a first-generation Canadian daughter of Indian-African immigrants and a transformative Coach, Consultant, Curator, and Speaker with over 15 years of experience.
After building a “perfect” life by conventional standards Big Four consulting roles at KPMG and Deloitte, corporate success, and external validation Safia walked away. Not to escape, but to heal. What began as a three-month journey to Kenya became a ten-year homecoming. One that invited her to confront grief, identity, and belonging and ultimately to reclaim herself.
Today, Safia’s work sits at the intersection of storytelling, trauma-informed practice, leadership development, and cultural reclamation. Through her signature 3P Framework (Pain → Power → Purpose), she supports refugees, survivors, creatives, entrepreneurs, and senior executives in transforming lived experience into grounded leadership and authentic lives.

— Leadership Development Participant
Safia has been open and honest from the get go, her superpower is to never try to preach or be on the spotlight, but tease out conversations and make people comfortable digging into issues. She’s a true coach, not only a “teacher”
— Leadership Development Participant
Safia gave me a tarot reading that truly resonated with me on a deep level. She had an incredible ability to read the subtle layers of my energy and bring clarity to things I hadn’t yet put into words. Her insights were not only accurate but also filled with lot of compassion. What stood out the most was her attentive and grounded presence ! i felt seen, supported, and uplifted in her sessions. I have taken two tarot readings with her and im really looking forward for the third one ! Thank you safia❤
— Tarot Session Client
“I wanted to acknowledge and appreciate your guidance in our last reading. Each time we have connected, I have felt the emotions flow sensing you connecting to my energy. The guidance has validated my situation and my journey. Our most recent interaction revealed what I needed to let go of and surrender. It continues to be a journey for me one day at a time. The way you empathise, you dont judge, you share the guidance is a beautiful gift you have. Thank you.”
