Meet Coach Kori

I’m Kori Ameenah Rutherford—ICF certified holistic coach, mindfulness and somatic integration consultant, and founder of Sakinah Wellness.

I help people release the weight of who they think they should be and grow into who they truly are.

I support those who feel fragmented by perfectionism, caregiving, or people-pleasing to reconnect with their whole, authentic selves beyond the support they provide to others.

If you feel buried beneath the expectations and demands of others, like a seed waiting for light, you’re not alone.

Through mindfulness-based holistic coaching, I help you gently release what no longer nourishes you, reconnect with your inner truth, and rediscover the passions that make your life feel authentically yours again.

Whether you’re moving through burnout, life-stage transition, or have a longing to unfold into your authentic self, I offer support so that you can grow in the direction of your truth.
