Rehema (she/her) was born into a Tanzanian family and raised in Botswana before she moved to the US to achieve her childhood dream of becoming a pediatrician. Along the way, she also worked as a high school chemistry and psychology teacher (at a boarding school in the Middle East!) and after practicing medicine for a few years, became a certified professional coach in a style known as “healing-centered coaching.”

Her international background instilled in her a true love of diversity in all its forms, as well as a deep respect for the variety of ways in which people approach caregiving. As an empath and a fellow mom who struggled a lot in the postpartum period, she is especially passionate about supporting all types of families as they navigate the challenges of early parenting in an increasingly complex world. She knows that we all have profound wisdom within us and often need just a little bit of support in learning how to tap into that wellspring of power.

Rehema holds a B.A. in Psychology, an M.D. and is Board Certified in Pediatrics. In her spare time, she endeavors to maintain balance through a combination of reading thoughtful poetry and prose, joy filled movement and the intentional cultivation of deeply meaningful relationships.
