About Our Founder

Meet Safa Shoaib A.K.A The Holistic Edvisor

Harvard, Ed.M. (Masters) Candidate | College Counselor | Life Coach | Global Education & College Access Advocate
“I possess over eight years of experience in college counseling, having served at several secondary institutions before eventually formally launching The Holistic Edvisor, a boutique college counseling firm based in Karachi, Pakistan. I am a passionate college access advocate with extensive experience supporting low-income, first-generation, and international students, all in the service of facilitating global intellectual exchange. With a College Counseling Certification from Teachers College, Columbia University, NLP coaching credentials under the ANLP umbrella, and an undergraduate degree in English Literature from LUMS, I seek to reimagine the counseling profession in the Pakistani context, from counselor to destiny bender, trajectory transformer, and opportunity enabler.”

Our Parent Testimonials

Both Safa and, later, Eman have been very hands-on. You have been there throughout the university application process, easy to reach, and always ready to answer all our questions. Safa has been so knowledgeable about which universities to choose and which courses to pursue. We were so clueless at the start, and honestly, Safa and the team have guided both us and Ayesha really well. We cannot thank you enough. Honestly, you have all been amazing. As parents, we came into the whole university application process for our first child with very little knowledge, and you made the entire process very easy and smooth. Safa, you were always there to answer our questions and were very hands-on in helping and guiding Ayesha the whole time. Eman was also wonderful. Thank you both for all your time and help. I truly believe in my heart that Holistic Edvisor will do incredibly well and become the number one college advising service in Pakistan very soon

I really appreciate how there was a deliberate effort made to involve the parents in the counselling process every step of the way. Meetings were arranged with parents and Emaan informed me of Ms. Safa's mindful measures to make the college application process engaging for Emaan, giving her the counselling she needed especially since she had no older siblings or relatives who had applied abroad before.

I felt that the approach thoughtfully considered Humaira’s strengths and areas for growth while accommodating her specific goals. I am deeply grateful for the support provided by Holistic. Safa and her team have been highly proactive in addressing any concerns or questions.

Sehar Atiq, mother of Humaira Atif

Karachi Grammar School

We truly appreciated the professional and personalized attention given to our child’s needs and preferences, along with the clear and thorough explanation of all available options. We are very happy and satisfied with both the process and the outcome so far.

Aamir Malik, father of Inaya Malik

Karachi Grammar School

The fact that everyone on the team is so invested in and committed to bringing her dreams to life means a great deal to us. I am extremely grateful to Safa and the entire team at Holistic Edvisor for guiding my child so thoroughly during one of the most difficult times in a child’s life.
