my story
Like many of the women I work with today, I had my life perfectly planned out. Marriage by 23, children by 25, success in every area. I was driven, ambitious, and deeply committed to my faith. But Allah had different plans that would shape me into the healer I am today.
Over the next decade, through challenging relationships and painful lessons, I discovered something profound: the same intelligence and dedication that makes us successful professionally can transform our relationships too - when we have the right guidance.
Those difficult years weren't just personal struggles; they were my education in what it truly takes to heal and create lasting love while honoring our values. Every challenge became a lesson I could pass on to the next generation of accomplished Muslim women.
Today, married and a mother to two beautiful children, I've turned my journey into my life's work. I combine my psychology degree, trauma-informed training, and extensive Islamic studies to offer something unique: sophisticated healing that honors both your achievements and your faith.
Why I Do This WorkT
My mission is simple: no accomplished Muslim woman should have to choose between career success and relationship fulfilment.
This is a fundamental aspect to my greater goal of inspiring a new generation of Muslim woman who prioritises her mental wellbeing.
So, you've already proven you can excel professionally now let me help you apply that same intentionality to your heart.
I work with women who are career driven or seeking to excell in their business or higher studied but I especially enjoy working with women who understand that true success includes thriving relationships. These are women who value quality, invest in themselves, and are ready to do the inner work with the same dedication they've brought to their careers. Above all, these are women who do not want to compromise their deen in any way. Like myself, they value their deen over their duniya but want to succeed in both by the permission of Allah.
my Approach
Offering a highly personalised and effective coaching service through our 1:1 Programs with Nafisa. My focus is on creating bespoke, considered service that ensures the best possible outcomes for my clients.
I believe healing should be as sophisticated as you are. That's why I combine evidence-based psychology with Islamic wisdom, creating a premium experience that respects both your intellect and your spirituality.
In our work together, you'll have a safe space to be completely authentic - to process, release, and transform in an environment of complete understanding and zero judgment. I've walked this path, and I know exactly where the healing begins.
Through powerful questioning and personalized strategies, we'll get clear on what you truly desire and who you are at your core. Then we'll create a practical, step-by-step action plan to reach your goals, with ongoing support through every challenge.
By the end of our work together insha’Allah, you'll have the tools, techniques, and strategies to create lasting change; not just in relationships, but in how you show up in the world as the accomplished, whole woman you're meant to be.
AN INVITATION
If you're ready to transform your relationship patterns with the same excellence you've brought to every other area of your life, I'd be honored to guide you on this journey.
"May Allah accept this work and make it a source of healing for the believing women."
