To know me is to dance with me to your favorite songs and forget about time. That is the ORIx spirit – an activated community inspiring more play in life.

With over 20 years of experience in fitness and wellness programming, I have been certified and trained by top industry fitness leaders. I’ve always followed my spiritual intuition, or “Ori,” which led me to discover that having fun is a vital part of fitness.

As a first-generation Iranian woman, I grew up immersed in music, dance, and vibrant cultural traditions that continue to influence my approach to wellness today.

During my time in leadership at San Francisco General Hospital, I led initiatives to expand access to healthcare and founded a culturally accessible Community Wellness Center—reflecting my deep commitment to inclusive, community-driven impact.

Through ORIx, my partners and I create spaces that invite women to play, move, and experience joy in its most expansive form.
