Identity Studio



  You don’t need fixing.          You need space.    You don’t need fixing.          You need space.        You don’t need fixing.          You need space.







“I did the work. Why is this still heavy?”


This is that space.
A steady place for clarity in complex seasons.

You don’t need fixing.
You need room to think.

You didn’t imagine the friction.
Some rooms were never built to hold your full complexity.

So you adapted.

And over time, adaptation becomes heavy.





What This Is

Identity Studio offers structured, thoughtful space for people moving and living through complexity; across culture, power, ambition, and identity.

It’s a space to untangle what you’re carrying.
To name what’s structural.
To soften what’s been held too tightly.
To reposition without abandoning yourself.

Identity Studio is not therapy.
It’s not spiritual performance or bypassing.
Both have their places.

This is another kind of room.

My work is not anti-spiritual or anti-clinical.
It’s anti-performance.

A space to unpack what you’re carrying, understand it clearly, and move forward differently, with less cost to yourself.



What We Do Together

In our sessions, we:

• Slow things down
• Map the systems you’re operating inside
• Separate external pressure from internal narrative
• Recalibrate identity during transition
• Support your nervous system without making it clinical

You remain you.

You simply carry it differently.


This is not a clinical setting and there will not be any slow handpan playing but there might be bkhour burning in the background and some recommended reading on intersectionality.  


How We Work 

All sessions are virtual and confidential.

90-Minute Deep Dive
A focused session for clarity.

3-Session Identity Reset
A short arc for transition or recalibration.

6-Session Transition Container
A deeper, steadier integration process.



Who I Am

Hi, I’m Wided Rihana.

I’m a writer, cultural strategist, and guide for people navigating complex transitions. I’ve spent years moving across institutions and countries, studying how identity, power, and belonging shape the way we move through the world.

This space grew from lived experience, ambition, migration, rupture, reinvention, and from supporting others who carry complexity quietly.

I work with people who are in the middle of something:
a shift, a fracture, a quiet identity earthquake.

Here, you don’t have to over-explain.
You don’t have to justify.
You don’t have to collapse either.

We work gently.
We work clearly.
We work with respect.

There’s room for dry humor.
There’s room for breath.
There’s room for you.

Approach

My work is informed by training in culturally responsive practice, trau ma-informed care, and identity-focused frameworks.

As an Amazigh woman, it is also shaped by lived connection to Indigenous North African traditions, including circle-based models of reflection and women-led communal practices rooted in storytelling, relational accountability, and collective steadiness rather than performance.

These influences support my ability to hold nuanced, culturally complex conversations with care and structure.

This work does not replace psychotherapy or medical treatment.



If this feels like your kind of space, you’re welcome to reach out. Let’s talk.
