Welcome to the Professional Podcast Network, where brilliance meets business, elevate your brand, and supercharge your revenue with inspiring insights and innovation. Either everyone, and welcome back to the show. This is your host Phil, and our next guest with us here today is Nagole Mascarini, based at a British Columbia, Canada with her business called Low-Heart Counseling. How are you doing today? Hello, hi, I'm doing great, thank you for having me. You're very welcome, I'm glad to hear you're doing well. So Nagole, tell us a little bit more here about yourself and what services you provide to people. Yes, I am an immigrant, I'm residing here in Canada about seven years ago, coming from Iran, I started my work here in immigration, actually. And this got me very attracted to continue my education in psychology. And nowadays I am there for people holding space, it's called Hello-Heart Counseling, which is a safe and welcoming space where individuals, couples and groups can explore their emotions, challenges and strengths. I basically offer a range of services, including individual therapy, couple counseling, relationship counseling, and I have specialized workshops for also neurodivergent individuals. In my personal life I work as an expressive artist, part time, and I also incorporate that art therapy into my sessions at the second language of expression. It helps my clients to connect with their inner world in a creative way and I feel like that's also something very healing. Glad to hear it, okay, well, how long have you been doing this for and helping people like this for? Yeah, Hello-Heart Counseling has been a part of my journey for several years now, as I mentioned, I came to Canada seven years ago, so starting 2020 I started my experience with mental health and counseling and since then I've been dedicating this to helping others through this practice. All right, I'd love to hear that. Well, what got you started here, like what was your inspiration to want to do all this? Yeah, great question. I feel like when it comes to Hello-Heart Counseling, it's not just a counseling practice for me, it's basically a reflection of my journey of immigration needing to find a whole identity in myself in a new country, with new language, new culture, so it's basically a journey of growth and connection for me. This is a very big part of my work also to help others to go through life transitions and be able to find themselves from a very new place, which sometimes we need that belonging within ourselves, so this way I specialize in working with individuals from diverse background and my own cross-cultural aspect that I bring into practice is also a part of me that is very helpful in this journey because I do carry two different lenses. I identify as a neurodivergent individual, so a big part of my work is working with neurodivergent folks and also to navigate sometimes the relationship challenges that this aspect brings. My approach is strength-based, I do love to find those superpowers in human, very client center, I love focusing on body, power of expression, as I mentioned, that I work as an expressive artist as well, so yeah, to create a safe space for clients who can feel hurt, supported, and encouraged to embrace their unique stories and unique selves is all I can say about my practice. Alright, excellent, well Nicole, if our listeners do want to like reach out to you or contact you for these services you offer, what's the best way that we could all do that? Great question and I have lots of answers for that, but to give a couple of answers to people if they're more comfortable from reaching out to my website, my website is hellohart.org. My email is nogol and O-G-O-L, I always have to pronounce it because it's a new name for people in Canada, it means new flower, it comes from my Farsi background, so nogol@hellohart.org and you can also find me on Instagram as hellohart.wellness and my art side is also called mystical minute, so there are many areas you can find me, of course this can extend to TikTok, Facebook, and every other platform that nowadays people are operating on. Gotcha, okay, well I want to thank you one last time here for joining us on the show today and telling us a little bit about what you offer here.
