Meet The LumaRise Coaching Team

LumaRise brings together a uniquely qualified team with backgrounds in medicine, psychology, counseling, human behavior, and personal development.

Meet Dr. Aelius Khan, MD

Board Certified Physician | Founder of LumaRise | Private Coach

Hi, I am Dr. Aelius Khan, MD. As a physician and private coach, I founded LumaRise because I believe true well-being extends beyond symptoms. Lasting transformation begins with understanding the whole person—their experiences, values, identity, and the purpose that guides the life they want to create.

As a physician, I have spent years helping people care for their physical and mental health, helping them navigate through life and the complex relationships between health, stress, identity, and well-being. Along the way, I witnessed something medicine alone cannot always address. Many accomplished, intelligent, and compassionate people continue to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unfulfilled—even when everything appears successful on the outside. True fulfillment extends beyond addressing symptoms—it involves understanding the whole person, their values, their experiences, and the life they want to create.

Having worked with and connected with individuals from diverse backgrounds, professions, and communities that beneath our different circumstances, many of us share similar struggles with purpose, burnout, growth, and fulfillment.

I created LumaRise to help bridge that gap.

As a physician and private coach, I combine the depth of my medical background with evidence-based coaching principles to help you reconnect with your inner clarity, rediscover your purpose, and create a life that feels deeply aligned with who you are. My approach is thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in science while honoring the whole person—not just the symptoms.

Whether you're navigating burnout, a career or life transition, leadership challenges, or simply feel called to something greater, I provide a structured and supportive space for meaningful personal growth.

The name LumaRise reflects my philosophy: every person carries an inner light. Sometimes it becomes dimmed by stress, expectations, or life's challenges. My role is to help you reconnect with that light, strengthen it, and create the conditions for it to shine with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.

Meet Zarina Khan

Master’s in Clinical Psychology | Founder of LumaRise | Private Coach

I’m Zarina Khan, a private coach with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and co- founder of LumaRise. My work is centered on helping people feel more connected, grounded, and aligned in their lives.

Through my clinical training and experience, I’ve seen how easy it is to appear “okay” on the outside while feeling overwhelmed or unfulfilled on the inside. LumaRise was created to support those who are seeking clarity, balance, and a deeper sense of purpose—without needing therapy or diagnosis.

My coaching gently supports individuals through burnout, life transitions, and moments of self-reflection, helping them reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater confidence and intention.

I believe meaningful change happens through compassion, curiosity, and honest connection—and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create a life that feels true to you.

Meet Jennifer Khan

B.S. in Psychology | Behavior Health Advisor | Founder of LumaRise | Private Coach

I am a behavioral health advisor, private coach, and founder at LumaRise with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and more than two decades of professional experience supporting individuals across behavioral health, youth services, and high-touch, client-centered environments.

Throughout my career, I have combined human-centered support with extensive experience in customer service, professional office settings, remote support, and relationship-based consulting. These experiences have strengthened my ability to communicate with empathy, lead with calm confidence, maintain discretion, and remain solution-focused in even the most challenging situations. They also shape my coaching approach—one that is practical, structured, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique goals, values, and journey.

I work with individuals who may appear successful on the outside yet feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain within. At LumaRise, I help clients reconnect with their inner light, gain clarity about what matters most, and move forward with greater purpose, confidence, and resilience. Whether you're navigating burnout, a life transition, or a season of self-discovery, I provide a supportive space where meaningful growth can unfold.

My coaching style is compassionate, grounded, and action-oriented. I believe lasting transformation comes from combining self-awareness with intentional action, accountability, and consistent support. Drawing on my background in psychology and years of counseling-adjacent experience, I guide clients through meaningful self-reflection while empowering them to create sustainable, positive change.

At LumaRise, my mission is to help you reconnect with your authentic self, embrace your strengths, and build a life that reflects your deepest values and aspirations.

Meet Zamir Khan

Founder of LumaRise | Executive Producer | Private Coach

I am a private coach at LumaRise, and my work centers on helping individuals find emotional clarity, deepen their self-awareness, and reconnect with their authentic selves. My approach is grounded in deep introspection, lived experience, and a genuine passion for building meaningful human connections. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and identity without fear of judgment.

Over the years, I have had countless conversations with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Many have trusted me with their personal stories, challenges, fears, and defining moments. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the complexity of human emotion, resilience, relationships, and personal growth. They allow me to meet each client with empathy, perspective, and an open mind.

One of my greatest strengths is helping people feel truly heard, understood, and accepted. I believe meaningful transformation begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself. By combining compassionate listening with thoughtful reflection, practical guidance, and accountability, I help clients turn insight into meaningful action.

At LumaRise, my role is not to tell you who to become or provide all the answers. Instead, I help guide you back to your own inner clarity, wisdom, and strength. Whether you're navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, relationship growth, identity shifts, or a season of self-discovery, I provide a supportive environment where you can build resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and move forward with confidence, intention, and purpose.
