Hi, I’m Saniah

I’d love to share a little of my story with you

I was born in Las Vegas to two teenage parents, and my childhood was anything but steady. By the time I graduated, I had attended five different high schools across three states, constantly learning how to adapt and survive. For 18 years, basketball was my anchor and identity. As a collegiate athlete, I gained discipline, leadership, and resilience, but I also learned how fragile self-worth becomes when it is tied to performance. When that chapter ended, I was left empty, disconnected, and questioning who I really was.

That breaking point cracked me open. For the first time, I began peeling back layers of conditioning, questioning the beliefs and patterns I had inherited, and rewriting my story, one rooted not in achievement but in truth, self-love, and inherent worth. Earning my degree in sociology deepened this awakening, giving me language for what I already knew in my bones: society conditions us into disconnection, division, and fear.

After college, I faced another choice: stay in a safe corporate job that looked good on paper but felt misaligned, or follow my soul. I chose truth. I quit, moved across the country, and took a nonprofit canvassing job. That leap changed everything. For over a year, I lived in more than 20 cities across five states, speaking with thousands of people from every imaginable walk of life. I stood in neighborhoods of wealth and of poverty, met people across races, genders, and backgrounds, and asked them deeper questions about their lives and emotions.

What I discovered was profound: no matter who they were or where they came from, everyone was wrestling with the same turbulence inside. Beneath the surface, people were carrying unprocessed emotions, longing for connection, and craving guidance on how to release their emotional weight and create empowering beliefs and lives. Those conversations revealed a universal truth: healing and connection are not luxuries, they are human necessities.

That truth gave birth to The Viberary.

The Viberary is where I now bring all of this, my lived story, my academic foundation, and years of spiritual and emotional study, into intentional spaces that help people remember who they are, release what no longer serves, and reconnect with themselves and each other.

Today, I guide both individuals and groups through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and community experiences. My work is about helping people peel back the layers of old stories, regulate their nervous systems, and build lives led by their soul instead of survival. At the heart of every Viberary experience is safety, intimacy, and the truth that we are more alike than different. When we heal ourselves, we ripple that healing into our relationships, our communities, and ultimately, the world.
