Dr. Sazini
Hi, I’m Sazini Nzula, a.k.a the Life Hacks for Special Needs Catalyst.
I help overwhelmed parents of kids with special needs create an individualized roadmap for their family so they can reduce stress, embrace the unique way their child is flourishing and live their dream life with calm confidence.
Both my children were diagnosed with autism at 2 years old. As confusing, stressful and exhausting as those early days were, I was determined that ultimately, my family would not just survive but would thrive. I wanted us to live the best lives that we could land do the things I had always imagined for us: travelling, enjoying the outdoors and entertaining friends and family. I committed to finding solutions that would allow us to have it all, even with special needs.
I am the proud author of Beautiful, Inside and Out. What You Ought to Know About Autism. Although this book makes no attempt at sugar-coating the challenges of parenting a child with autism, it is a positive, packed with practical advice and also shares the successes of countless families from different parts of the world.
I love solutions that give you, the parent, a central role in your child’s development because I know you are the expert on your child and can have the greatest impact on their well being. While starting anything new can be daunting, especially when it impacts our children, having an experienced guide who has walked along the same path before us is comforting.

What my clients say
“Dr Sazini, you changed my life with your advice a few years ago. It helped spark a change in mindset for me, because you displayed yourself as a shining, positive example that “I can do this”. I was able to find hidden treasures in adversity, as well as personal growth and make the best out of life!``
“I always feel so calm after I talk to you. It’s good because I know I can always call you when I really feel like I’m going crazy and don’t know where to turn”
``Until Sazini Nzula from came into my life with this wonderful parent-centered solution, (Qigong Sensory Massage), I was at a loss about how to handle new challenging behaviors with my son. She gave me another tool in my arsenal to help with my son's sensory issues. I learned how this therapy can calm the body and mind of my son, as well as mine. I highly recommend trying it. The bonus, regardless, is a closer bond between caregiver and child.``
“This the hardest thing I have ever done and it’s so much more challenging because my family doesn’t understand. They think I’m just not strict enough. With Dr. Sazini, it’s the one place where I don’t have to defend myself or anything. I can just relax because she truly understands what our family is going through”
