About Me

Hi, I’m Aysha. I’m a community builder, facilitator, and coach.

I work with family caregivers and those building support systems for loved ones with disabilities.

My work is about listening closely,
asking better questions,
and helping people take steady, doable steps
toward creating the life they imagine.

I’ve spent 30 years supporting individuals and communities in ways that center love, interdependence,

and a deep commitment to inviting every voice. For the past 15 years, my focus has been on helping families build circles of support.

I bring experience as a group facilitator, coach, writer, nonprofit leader, and network weaver.

I’ve also been the daughter, the sister, the friend—trying to navigate it all: 

the worry, the hope, the to-do list, and the longing for connection.

So I created my own business to walk alongside people doing this work—

because isolation is one of the most painful parts of caregiving, and connection,

even in small and imperfect doses, is one of the most powerful antidotes to what ails us—and our society.

The work I do is gentle and clear.
It’s practical and imaginative.
It honors your journey and helps you uncover next steps.

It’s not a formula—it’s a relationship.
One rooted in compassion,
nourished by curiosity,
and lit by the quiet belief that something more is possible.

I also bring my sense of humor,
a deep love of words and beauty,
my Pakistani and Islamic roots,
and years of listening with heart to what matters most—spoken, or unspoken.

Credentials & Experience

I bring over 30 years of deep listening, circle-building, and community support work. Some of my experience includes:

  • Helping lead LifeSPAN, a nonprofit that helped families create support networks for loved ones with disabilities, in partnership with a dedicated board and community collaborators

  • Facilitating hundreds of conversations—from kitchen tables to classrooms to board meetings to Zoom rooms—where people felt seen, heard, and encouraged

  • Supporting parents, caregivers, and change makers to turn overwhelm into action, one step at a time

  • Creating simple tools and workshops that help people name their vision and build the relationships that bring it to life

  • Founding Aysha Haq LLC to offer consulting, coaching, and facilitation rooted in love, curiosity, and collective wisdom—because bookkeeping, business licenses, support circles, and deep longing all belong in the same sentence

  • Pursuing lifelong learning through degrees in Whole Systems Design (Antioch University Seattle) and Psychology (SUNY Stony Brook); certificates in nonprofit leadership and editing; and ongoing training in Nonviolent Communication, The Work of Byron Katie, family constellation work, and peer-to-peer counseling
