I’m Zineb, a Mindful Self-Compassion practicioner, with a longtime mindfulness practice and a background in creating experiences that bring people together. I trained in Mindful Self-Compassion with Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer through the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.
My work is grounded in the belief that how we relate to ourselves matters, not only in moments of difficulty, but in how we move through our everyday lives, relationships, and work.
This space brings together two parts of my work:
mindfulness-based programs that offer tools for inner steadiness, and storytelling through photography, which honors the beauty in how people live, lead, and care just as they are.

MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION 9-WEEK COURSE
Mindful Self-Compassion
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an evidence-informed approach to developing a kinder, more supportive relationship with ourselves. It combines mindfulness and self-compassion to help us navigate difficult emotions, stress, self-criticism, and the challenges of everyday life.
In the 8-week MSC program, we explore simple, practical practices that support emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a greater capacity to care for ourselves and others.
Nothing to perform. Nothing to fix. Just an opportunity to meet ourselves with a little more kindness and curiosity.
Photography & Storytelling
There is strength in stillness.
And beauty in the quiet work of care.
This is a project rooted in presence - and a good bit of curiosity.
I meet with people who serve quietly, humbly, wholeheartedly. We sit together. We talk. I listen. There’s no script. Just space. For honesty, for reflection, for whatever wants to show up that day, silences included.
Through these conversations, a story unfolds.
Through the lens, a portrait emerges; one that holds more than just a face. It carries a moment of truth, a trace of purpose, a glimpse of the person within.
Each photograph is paired with a piece of their story. Not to define them, but to offer a glimpse, to reflect how they move through the world, and what they offer simply by being who they are.
This is a practice of connection. Of deep noticing. Of making the invisible a little more visible.
