When I asked myself, what is meditation? I found myself on a path of discovery I never thought possible.
Hi there! my name is Afsaneh Hamedani. I’m a certified meditation teacher and coach. I transitioned from a career in IT to teaching meditation. I believe meditation is greatly needed in today’s fast-paced world—where it’s easy to forget the impermanence of life.
As a child, I lived through revolution and war. I was convinced I’d had plenty of worldly and personal life experiences, and then… Covid hit. That’s when my soul journey began, leading me to Instinctive Meditation®.
Having been a two-time immigrant, I have travelled across continents, immersing myself in new cultures, learning languages, and connecting with people from all walks of life. I’m deeply grateful to those who have illuminated my path along the way.
I have been teaching meditation classes in person and online since 2022 and been coaching since 2024. I also present and lead Instinctive Meditation® in events and conferences.
Whether you’re already a meditator, have taken a break from meditation, or are completely new to it, the natural and effortless approach I practice and teach, meets you exactly where you are.
I look forward to connecting with you, exploring, and discovering all the soulful things we can deepen in together.
After 13 weeks of Instinctive Meditation sessions, I feel a good mood most of the time and have become a happier person. Ms. Afsaneh Hamedani seemed to know what I needed in sessions on Zoom or in nature. I was captivated because I felt like walking on a cloud for a few hours after the first session. I found myself looking forward to the experience every week.
Her guided sessions encourage the free flow of thoughts and movements and help me become more aware of the surroundings, the body, the senses, and the Higher Self.

Participating in the Meditate with me series has been restorative. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy workday, Afsaneh's meditation sessions provided the perfect opportunity to pause, breathe, and reset. The serene environment of the arboretum, combined with the convenience of the online sessions, made it both accessible and flexible. Afsaneh's expertise and presence creates a very calming experience.

I've really come to appreciate the small intimate meditation sessions led by Afsaneh. As a host, she’s thoughtful, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. I like that there’s no pressure of having to conform to a position or anything like that. Being able to de-stress right in the middle of work is fantastic.
