Her story begins with pain. Parizad Shaikh once tried to end her own life. She spent three days in intensive care, fighting for survival. Soon after, she lost her unborn child in a miscarriage. She named the baby Kimaya, and years later, that name became the title of her first book.

What could have been the end of her life instead became the start of a new journey. Out of silence and suffering, Parizad found her voice, and with it, a way to guide and heal others.

Born in Navi Mumbai into a business family, Parizad grew up in a home where everyone was encouraged to speak openly. That environment of free dialogue taught her the importance of words and expression. She never imagined those skills would one day become her lifeline. Her journey soon expanded into spirituality. She gained certifications in occult sciences and embraced her natural gift of intuition.

Her research at Monash University, Australia touched fields as different as cancer and autism. But even as she built her academic career, she trained as a counsellor and life coach.

She describes herself as “intuitive, psychic, and clairvoyant by birth.”

Her writing came to life in an unexpected way. During the quiet days of the COVID-19 lockdowns. While meditating and healing sessions, she felt guided to write books. Unsure where to begin, she started by drafting down small chapters from her own life.

Within two years, she realized she had created enough material for ten manuscripts. Her first book, ‘Kimaya’ (2023), and her second, ‘Almo’ (2024), came out of those efforts. She often says she takes inspiration from author Sudha Murty.

Parizad’s books deal with subjects many prefer to hide. She writes about energies, karmic betrayal, and hidden abuse within families.

Her personal life reflects the weight of those wounds. She describes her marriage as a place of isolation and control. Once financially independent and socially active, she suddenly found herself cut off from friends and family, her voice no longer heard.

At her lowest point, she attempted suicide. The miscarriage that followed felt like another blow, but it also marked a turning point. “Where my voice was silenced, today I use my voice to help others heal,” she says.

Parizad slowly rebuilt her life. She returned to teaching, started counselling, and began offering workshops and meditation sessions. Her Ex-partner and in-laws even accused her of practicing black magic, but she clarifies that her role is the opposite, as she is a healer. She helps people free themselves from negative energies. “My work is about giving people back their strength,” she explains.

Through all of this, one message has stayed at the heart of her journey: “You are not broken, you are becoming.” She believes healing is not a fixed end point but an ongoing process, a constant evolution of the self.

Looking ahead, Parizad has big dreams. She is publishing more books that combine stories with spiritual growth. She also hopes to see her work adapted for the screen so her message can reach wider audiences.

But what matters most to her is not awards, sales, or recognition. It is the quiet, personal impact she has on people’s lives.
