About Ziedah
Ziedah Diata is a Brooklyn, New York-based artist, attorney and nervous system hygiene guide who leads creative conversations at the crossroads of justice and healing. Her work is inspired by the recurring themes of harm, repair, trauma, empathy and transformation. Ziedah brings creative right-brain strategies and practices to systems that are often stuck in a limited, left-brain search for safety that neglects the basics that begin in the body.

Ziedah’s presence is a radiating beacon of wisdom and safety. She has created a program that anyone would benefit from taking. It empowered me with physical exercises and practical tools that I continue to use to keep my nervous system calm and fluid.
Her TEND course impacted my life before it even started! I received an email ahead of time with the playlist she made, which struck me to my core and instantly became an inspiring and essential addition to the soundtrack of my life.
Ziedah’s mission is profound yet simple—she gives us permission to treat ourselves with the patience, kindness, and love that we all deserve.
Austin Greene- Director, DreamYard Art Center, an arts and social justice organization
Nervous system care is such an invaluable (and often overlooked) part of caring for ourselves and caring for others. We are often pouring from an empty cup, but many of us lack the strategies to slow down and replenish what we give out on a daily basis.
This workshop [Take a Load Off] offered techniques for grounding and regulating oneself, highlighting how important it is to slow down and sooth our nervous system. Workshop participants felt cared for, engaged, and found the information extremely useful. I recommend this workshop to anyone seeking ways to ground themselves in a sometimes overwhelming world.
Janine Simon, Program Manager, Urban Word NYC
As a Program Manager at a literary nonprofit, I wear many hats. Like so many of us in nonprofit leadership, I’m in constant service to others....The pressure on the nervous system is real.
Ziedah's work has been a lifeline. Through her TEND masterclass and 1:1 sessions, I’ve been deeply supported in training my mind and body to accept safety, even in the midst of chaos. The sessions are science-based, and a soulful pathway back to self.
Her guidance has become a foundational wellness tool that I’ve added to my toolkit for life and work. Because of Ziedah, I’m not just surviving in this work, I’m showing up with more presence, clarity, and care.
