Hi, I’m Far Ali.

I’m a leadership cultivator and racial equity instigator who has more than twenty years experience of navigating transformational change personally and professionally. Change is inevitable; how we go through it is up to us.

Are you embracing for a change? Need more support by your side? Craving ways and space to slow down, reflect, and move ahead differently?

You do not have to be alone in your journey as you give birth to what’s possible—that’s why I’m a reset doula.

I work with people and groups committed to social justice, navigating big changes, and open to care-informed practices.

Together we can reset in creative and bespoke ways towards meaningful change.

Here’s what people I’ve worked with say about me…

“Far is a deep listener who asked me insightful questions. They were a reassuring presence with the messy process of transformation.”

— Sabelo N.

"Far was someone I could trust in an incredibly powerful way. It was an experience I'll always treasure."

— Sarah Eagle Heart

"I felt empowered to trust my intuition. She was a guiding force reflecting my highest values back to me and reminding me of my intrinsic value."

— Faiza F.

“This was not an easy situation to enter and you brought in strategic lightness. You worked thoughtfully and it showed. It was a joy to work with you.”

— Anonymous Funder

“Far created a space for healing, reflection, exploration and empowerment. It felt like therapy, professional development and a spiritual experience all at once. Through meditation, writing and visualization exercises, and deep talks with Far, I came to a new understanding of myself, my values and my priorities and how I want to be of service to myself and others in my life. This experience was transformative and beautiful.”

— Ivie F.
