We’re Here to Support You Blossoming Into Your Highest Self
ABOUT US
This methodology became the framework of Dharma Coaching Institute, where she partnered with her dear friends author Dr. Neeta Bhushan and business extraordinaire Ajit Nawalka to create the first ever certification that trained Soul Purpose (Dharma) and Spiritual Life Coaches.
And then the vision kept expanding. After overcoming the most challenging chapter of her life yet, her divorce, Sahara created the Triple-E Method that became the methodology for their Embodiment Certification, paired with Dr. Neeta’s experience of also going through a painful divorce and losing both her parents and brother before 19.
They took a stance - that your pain is related to your purpose - and empowered thousands to realize that within their greatest obstacles lie their greatest offerings to the world.
She believes each person is here to naturally be the solution of a world’s problem through following their truth and sharing their full expression.
The seeds of Highest Self Institute began when Sahara Rose wished she had a place to dive deeper into the spiritual topics she was passionate about, in a way that was grounded, modern and relatable. She hit “publish” on the Highest Self Podcast in 2017, and the rest was history. It went on to become the #1 spiritual podcast on iTunes with over 35 million downloads to date.
Along that journey, Sahara published multiple books, including Discover Your Dharma with foreword by the eminent Deepak Chopra. The proprietary Dharma Blueprint method shared in this book helped tens of thousands of people find their purpose and was so fool-proof, that she knew she needed to pass along this wisdom to empower others to create the ripple effect of the world living their dharma.

Jill is your not-so-typical Certified Dharma Coach, Business Coach, and Yoga Therapist. Picture this: a blend of wisdom from the boardroom and the yoga mat, sprinkled with a healthy dose of humor. Yeah, that's her!
With over 15 years of experience in corporate operations management and logistics, Jill juggled the intricacies of multiple businesses. From high school teacher, to systems planning to orchestrating the seamless movement of remote workers for big-league organizations.
But here's the twist: she’s a multi-passionate, hard-working individual who wasn't feeling the vibes of a high school classroom or a corporate office. So, Jill embarked on a journey of wellness certifications: Holistic Nutrition, Yoga Teacher Training (including Pre/Post-Natal and Doula Certification), and eventually Yoga Therapy, Dharma Coaching, and Business Coaching and Consulting.
Despite her success in the corporate world, something was missing. She had the degrees (Education & Physical Education), the logistics career, and even started working for a company with values she admired. But fulfillment? That was still elusive.
Enter her passion for coaching and a deep desire to make a real impact. Now, she bridges these two worlds. She works directly with companies, coaching Executives and Employees to bring out their best, while also guiding passionate individuals like you to build aligned lives and businesses.
She is a Mother of two, a Master Coach with the Dharma Coaching Institute where she trains and teaches others to find and follow their purpose and side-hustles as an artist and creator. (Multi-passionate, remember?)

Her focus is ushering healing through incorporating ancient traditions and tools with practical application and joyful play! Along with energy healing, she is a certified trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, Shaman, and Spiritual Life Coach, working primarily with women, especially BIPOC individuals, who want to experience life to the fullest.
Abmari spent much of her early adulthood searching for her place in the world, getting multiple degrees in Communication, Graphic Design, and a Master’s in Business Administration, putting them to use in numerous industries, including fashion, technology, insurance, and property management. Although she saw success in each role she obtained, something was always off in her heart and soul.
After the impactful hardship of losing her home to a fire, she found mediation. She deepened her healing work, allowing herself to return to her roots of child-like exploration, play, and learning to personally research the fields of quantum physics and mechanics, human behavior, ancient Eastern philosophy & medicine, and therapeutic psychology.
This immersive experience saw Abmari come out in service of others in the most significant way possible, blending her acquired knowledge and assisting business owners, students, creatives, and leaders from places all over the world to find their passion, follow their bliss, and live a life full of purpose just like she was able to. She leads international retreats of healing and joy, is a Master Coach with Highest Self Institute, and spends all her free time caring for animals.
