Asad Abdullah II is a healing artist supporting families, organizations, and individuals, working in the modality of trauma-informed meditation, sound therapy, therapeutic (non-clinical) mental health conversations, and facilitates trauma-informed care workshops. This space was created for self-discovery, intimate connection, release, and healing through action.

Author of a byline in Google's Official Keyword: Mental health trends and how they affect communities of color; read that here.

Born in the United States to an Nigerian, Ghanaian, and Pakistani father and Germanic, British, and Latina mother, the experiences in navigating & living within these mixed identities deeply inform the work he does and in parallel have given him an understanding of the complexities in which these vastly different identities permeate individual experience.

Asad specializes in working with youth and underrepresented+underserved communities. His approach centers primarily on self-discovery and self-love - viewing these two as the pillars to individual liberation. In the words of the incredible Angelica Ross: "I invite you to have a doctorate level understanding of yourself. That's what spirituality is..." We'll co-create a foundation for you to begin and/or further your journey on that path; simply knowing that there is no "right" way to meditate as we unfold the layers of ourselves that traverse the negative, neutral, and positive states of the human experience. Everything begins from within.

Asad has formal training in excess of 400-hours spanning a variety of lineages and practices including but not limited to: Zen, Theravada, Kundalini, youth-based trauma-informed care, Tibetan, Vedic, and Shamanism. He is a certified trauma-informed meditation instructor, a certified trauma-informed youth-based yoga and mindfulness instructor, a certified mental health first aid advocate and listener, and certified in the fundamentals of sound healing. He's worked with the Exodus Transitional Community, Holistic Life Foundation, iMentor, Root3d, and presently Google where the bulk of his teachings have been conducted since 2019.​
