Hey there love! It is so nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m Zenina Rashed—most people call me Zen.

Wholesome Zen grew from lived experience, not theory.
My relationship with care didn’t begin in a classroom or a gym — it began in my body.

From a young age, I was deeply active: basketball, track, swimming, competitive tennis, and dance. On the surface, I looked healthy. But internally, my body told a different story. I was frequently sick as a child, and for a long time, I didn’t understand why.

Like many people, I didn’t initially connect physical symptoms to nourishment, stress, or emotional patterns. That understanding came later — slowly, and through experience.

In my early twenties, after a period of recurring illness, someone close to me suggested I try eating plant-based. What began as an experiment became a turning point. I’ve now been vegan for nearly 18 years, and that choice reshaped not only how I nourish myself, but how I listen to my body.

Food, however, was only the beginning.

As my physical health stabilized, my curiosity deepened. I began exploring nutrition, herbs, fasting, and plant medicine — not as fixes, but as tools for awareness. I spent years learning how to cook, nourish, and care for myself in ways that felt grounding and sustainable. Alongside this, I developed a meditation practice and began to understand how deeply the mind and emotions influence how we experience our bodies and our lives.

Over time, health stopped being something I chased or tried to perfect.
It became a relationship — one rooted in listening, discernment, and self-trust.

I no longer believe care is linear. It’s cyclical. It changes with seasons, environments, and life stages. It’s a conversation between body, mind, and inner life — one that evolves as we do.

That understanding expanded even further through travel.

Over the last several years, living nomadically across multiple continents/countries taught me what it really means to stay grounded amid change. Travel stripped away routines, familiar comforts, and external stability — revealing how essential adaptability, presence, and inner steadiness are, regardless of location.

This is the foundation of my work.

What I Offer

360 Coaching is a one-on-one space rooted in alignment, not optimization. The work looks beneath surface-level habits to explore what’s shaping your experience — how you make decisions, respond to stress, relate to care, and move through transition.

Rather than fixing or forcing change, the focus is on clarity, stability, and building trust in yourself, so the way you live and care for yourself feels grounded, sustainable, and real.

Wholesome Zen exists to support people who are ready to slow down, listen inward, and engage with their lives more intentionally — especially during periods of change.

This work is not about telling you who to be.
It’s about supporting you in reconnecting with yourself, so you can move through life with awareness, resilience, and integrity.

Experience & Training

My background spans movement, nourishment, and embodied practice, including:

• Certified Mat Pilates Instructor

• Professionally trained dancer and choreographer

• Background in mixed martial arts (boxing, taekwondo, jujitsu)

• Certified fitness trainer and nutrition coach

• Studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture and herbal medicine

• Trained and experienced vegan chef and caterer

These experiences inform my perspective — but they do not replace lived wisdom. What I offer is shaped as much by integration and discernment as it is by training.
