Hello, I’M GIGI AZMY. It is my joy to be AT YOUR SERVICE.
About my Coaching Journey
My My path to awakening to love and becoming a conscious relationship coach and spiritual guide did not begin in a monastery or with a lightning-bolt awakening.
It began at 30 years old, 15 years after my first awakening, on the floor of my apartment, surrounded by brown cardboard boxes, heartbroken, and undone.
On paper, I was thriving. Fortune 500 companies flew me across the country to lead million-dollar tech projects as a management consultant. I had spent years becoming strong, smart, spiritual, and successful. And yet, none of my achievements could stop the grief of a collapsing relationship, the engagement that was planned, but never came, the man who didn’t fight for me, the ego that finally admitted it had no answers.
For fifteen years before the breakup, I devoted myself to meditation, nonduality, and spiritual practice. But heartbreak revealed what years of spiritual study could not: I had misunderstood Love. I had taken the teachings of detachment and selflessness and weaponized them against my own humanity. I denied my needs in the name of spirituality, mistaking endurance for love and transcendence for wisdom.
That grief stripped me bare. And in the stillness, the Divine whispered the truth I had been circling all along: You had to deny your needs.
From that moment forward, my path changed. I stopped using spirituality to bypass my humanity and began weaving the two together—body and spirit, grief and grace, longing and liberation. I discovered that what keeps so many people stuck in unhealthy love isn’t just childhood trauma or attachment wounds. It’s the sophisticated arguments we use to justify relationship patterns: the avoidant who calls detachment “freedom,” the anxious lover who calls self-abandonment “unconditional love,” the seeker who calls bypass “awakening.”
My work is to help you:
Heal relationship patterns rooted in childhood trauma
Learn how to turn conflict into connection
End codependency for good
Break free from anxious and avoidant attachment styles
Transform spiritual bypassing into embodied awakening
Sanctify your needs as holy
Awaken to soul-level love
Unlock the next level in your awakening or enlightenment journey
I draw from over twenty-five years of trauma-informed spiritual practice, training in parts work (IFS), somatic experiencing and conscious relationship coaching, and most importantly, the lived experience of stumbling my way into awakening through heartbreak, motherhood, and the messy, sacred business of being human.
Today, I live in Hawaii with my husband and our twin toddlers, held daily by the ocean, the mountains, and the reminder that both grief and beauty belong. I lead HeartSword Sangha, write and teach on Awakening to Love, and guide individuals and communities who are ready to move beyond repeating patterns into soul-level intimacy and embodied wisdom.
This is not about becoming perfect or transcending your humanity.
It’s about waking up to the truth that your longing for love is not a weakness, it is the Divine calling you home.
“I am a woman who devoted fifteen years to spiritual mastery, before discovering that true awakening began when I stopped thinking enlightenment meant perfection and started honoring the messy, sacred truth of my own humanity.
This is the advanced Spiritual path.”

About My Spiritual journey
My spiritual path began at fifteen years old, first enamored by the stories found in fictional Christian mysticism, wiccan and shamanic books.
But then something rapidly changed within me to wanting to know the truth — the same truth all of the sages point to.
By the age of 16 years old, I was studying eastern philosophy. I practiced a simple heart chakra meditation that flooded me open to indescribable Love. That first awakening ignited a lifelong devotion to Truth and set me on a path of study, practice, and surrender that has spanned more than two decades.
At 17 years old, my first shamanic apprenticeship started in secret as I knew my conservative Muslim religious parents would not allow any talk of spirituality.
Since then, I have trained across many lineages such as Buddhist, Sufi, Advaita Vedanta, and indigenous Native and South American ceremonies. Nothing gave me experience of the truth like the direct path of nonduality, where I learned to access an inner silence and stillness with my root teachers such as Adyashanti, Gangaji, and Mooji who walk in the lineages of Suzuki Roshi, Papaji, Nisgaradatta Maharaj, Jesus, and many other masters.
I also walked the path of the feminine, experiencing Shakti, and tantra in the path of Kashmiri Shaivism and Vajrayana.
I immersed myself in nonduality, meditation, and spiritual awakening and bodhisattava practices, seeking the freedom promised by enlightenment.
Alongside these traditions, I also apprenticed on the Native American and South American medicine wheels, sitting in sweatlodges, tipi ceremonies, and supporting the Lakota Sundance. These initiations grounded my path in the wisdom of earth, community, and embodied spirituality.
For fifteen years, I lived as a sincere spiritual seeker, committed to dissolving the ego, while I was also completing college, apprenticing and exploring love.
Yet, heartbreak awakened me like nothing else did at 30 years old, perfectly on my Saturn Return.
A failed engagement stripped me of every illusion that my intelligence, people pleasing or spiritual understanding could save me. In the stillness of grief, I turned directly to Spirit with one piercing question: What is the connection between this heartbreak and my childhood? The answer came like lightning: You had to deny your needs.
That revelation changed everything. I realized true awakening is not about denying your humanity, but integrating it. Enlightenment is not escape, it is embodiment of the human AND divine. It is the courage to honor needs as holy, to face grief as sacred, and to see that our deepest longings are not obstacles but doorways into Love itself.
I learned that even the most enlightened masters still experience an enormous amount of Emotional pain in their relationships, because spiritual awakening or enlightenment does not heal our wounds and trauma. This is where my interest in trauma work began. We can’t just wake up, we must also heal so we can grow up and show in ways that contribute with truth, beauty and love. Without that we remain stuck, not knowing why our spiritual path is not helping our lives. This is why our spiritual and intentional communities are not thriving. We can’t bypass the mud the lotus has to grow from.
Today, I guide others on this same path of awakening and embodied enlightenment. I serve as a spiritual teacher and mentor, offering deep guidance for those ready to see through the wheel of suffering and awaken to soul-level love.
For seekers who wish to go further, I take on a small number of spiritual apprentices—walking with them through the layers of spiritual bypass, relational wounds, and body-held trauma into the direct recognition of their true nature. This is not just about realizing Awareness, but about living it fully—in relationships, in community, in the ordinary sacredness of daily life.
If you are looking for a spiritual teacher to walk alongside you in the awakening journey, or if you feel called to a period of apprenticeship in the path of enlightenment, you are in the right place.
Spirituality, for me, is no longer about escaping the human experience. It is about living as both human and divine—where grief, longing, joy, and truth are all seen as holy invitations from the Beloved.
There are people that have an expectation that a spiritual teacher should be all about love, light, harmony and wholeness.
That is only half of me. The other half is the warrior that protects the love, light, harmony and wholeness. And at times that is not pretty and nor should it have to be.
You see, when I took my refuge vows in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, I was given the name that translates to: Dharma Protector. It is has been clear for years that I am not here to make things comfortable, but challenge you until you are no longer creating. your own suffering or suffering for others.
Dharma Protector is a reminder of my calling to speak truth, guard wisdom, and protect the heart of the teachings from distortion. That blessing continues to shape the way I guide others today: with clarity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to integrity.
I am here, honored to be at your service.
Guidance Through the Lens of a Human Design Projector
I am a Human Design Projector, which means I am designed to see others clearly and guide them into alignment with their true path. Projectors have a penetrating aura that recognizes patterns and possibilities others can’t see for themselves. Our gift is not in doing more, but in illuminating the way so others can use their energy with wisdom.
As a spiritual mentor and relationship coach, this natural design allows me to guide Generators, Manifesting Generators, and all types into deeper clarity in love, purpose, and spiritual growth. Where others may get lost in the grind, I help people pause, see the bigger picture, and step into choices that truly serve their soul.
Because I live as a Projector myself, I know the importance of timing, recognition, and waiting for the right invitations. This makes me a natural and effective guide—able to hold space without forcing, to see without judgment, and to direct others back to their own truth.
In practice, this means:
Helping Generators and Manifesting Generators align with work and relationships that energize rather than drain.
Guiding Manifestors to honor their initiating power without burning bridges.
Supporting Reflectors in navigating their sensitivity with trust and clarity.
Teaching all types to recognize the patterns of self-sabotage and spiritual bypass that block love and fulfillment.
My work goes beyond Human Design charts—it integrates trauma healing, nonduality, and conscious relationship wisdom. But understanding my role as a Projector guide helps explain why my work resonates so deeply with those who are ready for transformation.
If you are seeking a coach or spiritual teacher who can see you clearly, name what others overlook, and guide you back into alignment with your higher purpose—you may already feel why a Projector is the guide you’ve been waiting for.Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

“You have to understand what (they) are as a force. There is nothing like being one-on-one with a Projector. If you have to get something off your chest, there is nothing better than having a Projector in front of you...”
