Meet the TEAM

Dana Farra, Co-Founder/CEO

Maham Faisal, Digital Marketing & Design Coordinator

Dr. Ayesha Shaheryar, Co-Founder

I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist, personal trainer, and community builder at heart. I’m currently focus on bilingualism, aiming to support families in our community and across Texas. Across my clinical work, fitness background, and years of community leadership, I believe movement, connection, and personal growth are interconnected and essential to strong, healthy communities. My deepest intention is to create spaces where Muslim women feel a true sense of belonging, where they are welcomed as they are and supported as they grow through every season of life.

Dr. Ayesha Shaheryar, Co-Founder

I am a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist with clinical expertise in Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Major Depression, and Bipolar Disorder. My work centers on supporting youth and families through compassionate, evidence-based care. Outside of my clinical practice, I carry a lifelong love for movement, whether its running, dancing, swimming, or staying active in any way that brings strength and joy. I believe that caring for the body is a powerful way to care for the mind, and that movement is woven into our very nature. I am honored to support others on their journey toward wellness and thriving.
