Hello & Salaam Fellow Travelers

Welcome. I am Setareh Azar Jinn (she/her) — a Queer Iranian-American Neurodiverse Trans Woman licensed as an LMFT (CA #104844) and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP) under my legal name, Nima Saalabi. To schedule a session call or text me at 707 732 4525 or follow the link here to schedule online.

My therapy offerings are rooted in the scientific, cultural, & mystical wisdom of the body, the earth, and the ancestral threads I carry from the SWANA region — a lineage of poets, healers, lovers, ritualists, liminal dancers, gender magicians, and trans-visionaries whose resilience, devotion, & courage forms the flesh of my being-in-the-world.

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve walked through a world that hasn’t always known how to love all of who you are. Maybe you’ve had to armor, mask, or hide parts of yourself — your queerness, your transness, your neurodivergence, your cultural roots, your tenderness, your desires — just to survive. Maybe your body feels like it’s carrying more than its share of the weight.

I get it. And I want you to know — it’s not you, your gender, your neurotype, or your body that’s the problem.

I view healing as a coming home to yourself through deconstructing the messages of oppressive, hegemonic social orders in your body towards a more authentic way of connecting with the world.

I call it decolonial body therapy — a remembering & reforming of the body as a sacred, ancestral, and creative home. Here, we tend the places shaped by systemic harm, oppression, displacement, and trauma — not as wounds that make you broken, but as portals to your deepest vitality, creativity, pleasure, and connection.

For me, decolonizing the body also means reclaiming eros — your right to inhabit desire, intimacy, and sensuality without shame. It means honoring polyamory, kink, and other liberated ways of loving and relating as valid, creative, and deeply human expressions that resist colonial control over bodies, genders, and relationships.

Through slow, attuned, embodied presence, we can unwind the impact of colonial, cultural, and developmental trauma — while growing safety, power, joy, gender euphoria, and agency in your body. We weave nervous system healing, earth connection, erotic aliveness, and ancestral wisdom so you can live unapologetically in your fullness.

I have been a student of embodiment over 20 years, and on this specific path as a somatic therapist for over 12 years. I work with many issues, including

• unwinding systemic oppression in the body towards a more authentic embodied power grounded in healing justice

• high masking Autism & Audhd & how to safely explore the unmasking process

• gender identity, expression, exploration, & transition

• navigating polyamory & ethical-nonmonogamy

• kink & bdsm & power exchange

• war, exile, diaspora, displacement, & political violence & persecution

• accidents, injuries, & medical trauma

• chronic illness & pain

• sexual, physical, emotional abuse

• ancestral & intergenerational wounds

• spiritual injury & emergency, high control groups, religious oppression

• ecological violence

The folks who find me are often queer, trans, autistic, neurodiverse, BIPOC, poly/ENM, kinky, creative, subculture healers, artists, deep-feelers, and change-makers — people committed to weaving a freer, more embodied future.

If your soul is whispering yes to this kind of work, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I offer in-person therapy in Sebastopol, CA, and teletherapy throughout California. I also offer embodied, decolonial consultation and education for folx around the world.
