I was born and raised in Queens as a first-generation Bangladeshi, surrounded by a rich blend of cultures, languages, and traditions.

Growing up in a community where resilience and creativity were woven into everyday life shaped how I see the world — and how I hold space for others.

I’m a vulnerability coach, meditation teacher and host of Monsoon Season, a podcast exploring what it means to be radically vulnerable.

Whether you’re an artist, a seeker, or simply someone in search of your own voice again — I’m here to remind you:

You are the portal.

For a long time, I thought if I just perfected everything — my body, my career, my relationships — I’d finally feel free.
But the more I chased perfection, the more disconnected and exhausted I became.

Healing didn’t come from getting it "right."
It came from getting vulnerable.

Through vulnerability, I found my way back to my voice.
Through meditation, I found my way back to my heart.
Through creativity, I found my way back to my power.

Now, my work is about helping you do the same.

Whether it's through 1:1 coaching, community spaces like free weekly community calls, or the conversations shared inside Monsoon Season — every offering from NAOKA is an invitation to come home to yourself.

Stay soft.
