I'm Jaleh (or Zhaleh) (she/her), a Janzu practitioner, somatic coach/facilitator, architect and sound enthusiast, based in the so-called Vancouver, Canada, but also mobile. I’m originally from Tehran, Iran and immigrated to Canada in 2003. 

With a background in Electrical Engineering and a master's degree in Architecture, my professional journey has been diverse. As a queer woman spending my early years under an oppressive anti-queer regime, my personal life experience has led me to seek healing and has deeply influenced my advocacy for social and environmental justice.

For the past decade, I’ve worked as an architect, shaping the built environment and physical spaces. Zooming in and zooming out: designing wall details, designing transit stations. Later, I discovered my passion for creating social and collective spaces. I started building communities where individuals could connect and collaborate towards common goals, from learning and brainstorming spaces to spaces for activism and humanitarian support.
