Meet

Dr. Shahnaz Ahmed

Hello! I’m Dr. Shahnaz Ahmed. I’m an author, life coach/mentor, podcaster, blogger, traveler, and speaker. I graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 1999 and continued my GPR and pediatric dentistry residency at Indiana University also. In late 2003, I moved to St. Louis to be closer to home. Through my years of practice, I have worn several hats. I have owned a practice, that I sold in 2022, to semi-retire. I currently see patients in Cherokee, IA. Also on the professional front, I was the editor for the dental publication of the Greater St. Louis Dental Society. 

In my journey towards authentic living and happiness, I married my love of words, books, and microphones; creating a blog and a podcast, Living A Life Through Books. Working on a novel has been a challenge. I am in the process of querying to get an agent and move my writing career forward. Last year in 2023, my short story They Throw Rocks was published in An Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove Anthology. 

In November of 2022, I was a finalist in Dentistry’s Got Talent. It was there that I truly began to appreciate the need in the dental world for re-inventing one’s self and finding ultimate joy. I would love to share my insights with you through my own journey of learning and massive reading.

“Dr. Ahmed has been wonderful. We connected over a social media platform and as soon as she realised certain message was best to be discussed over a call so she offered to get on a phone and I absolutely loved that. Since then we have had multiple conversations where she has helped redirect my thinking and see things differently. I’ll never forget a few things she told me:

  • Other people’s opinion of us is none of our business.
  • Forgive yourself first. We are all humans and it’s okay to make mistakes and we might make them again.
  • About journaling not only to zoom out a bit and look at things but also to dive within and find what our triggers are.
  • Dr. Ahmed is a great listener and a good motivator who can help someone who is afraid of taking the next step or getting pulled into the past.”

“I was incredibly fortunate to have Shahnaz’s coaching when my business was in need of clearer focus and redirection. Her methods of guidance provided me with much needed clarity on deeper sources of my decision making process. This enhanced my understanding of how I should best proceed forward with her recommendations. The action steps were never broad or unmeasurable. I was held to a high standard of maintaining progress towards making each step and she was supportive with outreach for accountability. Notable for me were the daily messages with encouraging words of wisdom to start my day. As a dental professional with a consulting business, I would highly recommend Shahnaz to colleagues looking to grow their business with a coach they can have confidence in receiving return on investment.”
