About Raz

Raz Patel. Author, Speaker, Coach.

Raz Patel is an author, speaker, and coach. Her work lives at the intersection of health and leadership, built on a simple truth she learned the hard way: silence is paralysis.

Her story

A story you need to hear.

At sixteen, Raz survived paralysis, and the long road back became the foundation of everything she does today. Her journey has been shaped by health crises, personal loss, reinvention, and failure along the way.

She is the author of Frozen to Fearless, and she believes that fearlessness is not the absence of fear, it is choosing to live without allowing fear to define your limitations.

She is the founder of Lumina Lifeworks, where she coaches leaders and individuals through a multidisciplinary approach shaped by psychology, integrative nutrition, entrepreneurship, and healthcare. Her background includes a B.S. in Psychology from UNC Chapel Hill, certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and more than 15 years as an independent pharmacy founder and business owner.

Through speaking, media, coaching, and writing, Raz helps others reclaim their voice, redefine failure, and move from hardship to strength.
