I’m Kori Ameenah Rutherford, ICF certified holistic coach, mindful living and urban homesteading consultant, founder of Sakinah Wellness, and creator of the Inner Healing Garden — a safe space where emotional clarity, soulful identity, and gentle transformation take root.

I help people who’ve lost themselves in caregiving, people-pleasing, or perfectionism unearth the authentic self they have buried beneath the expectations of others.

For years, I watched people — especially caregivers, people-pleasers, and quiet leaders — lose themselves in roles, expectations, and emotional labor. I’ve lived that story too. And I’ve learned that healing begins when we remember who we are beneath the titles.

Through mindfulness-based holistic coaching, I guide those searching to release what no longer nourishes them, reconnect with their inner truth, and rediscover the passions and values that help to cultivate a life that is authentically their own.
