For organizations
Non-Profit Consulting
Program design and trauma-informed operating practice for non-profits — built by a founder who has run two of them across two countries.
What it is
Built by a founder, not a theorist
Sharmin has founded and run two non-profits across two countries, and brings that lived operating experience — not just frameworks — into every consulting engagement.
The work covers program and curriculum design, trauma-informed operating practice, and board and staff capability building, so organizations can deliver on their mission without burning out the people doing the work.

- Non-profits designing or redesigning a core program
- Organizations wanting trauma-informed practice built into daily operations
