By day, I am a certified educator. I provide essay & academic coaching for high-performing high school students aspiring to attend the world's top universities. I also teach health psychology, write for various publications and am involved in several community endeavors in the Toronto Muslim community.

But I have another, deeper calling. Years ago, I went through a very dark and difficult period in my life. I went through a turbulent divorce that drained the life out of me and left me weak and insecure. It took me a long time, a lot of introspection and deep work to get myself out of that hole. But I had a lot of help, through the support of others and especially through the Help of Allah.

Eventually, I got stronger, spiritually and emotionally. Being a giver, I started running a divorce support group for other women. Through my work, I quickly realized a lot of women lack support or a sense of direction. What’s more, the pain, frustration and loneliness of life’s upheavals cause many to lose their faith.

Through my journey, not only was I able to design a better, more fulfilling life for myself, I was also able to forge a deeper connection with Allah. As I worked closely with other women, I was able to help them do the same. Eventually, I decided to obtain my Life Coaching Certification to make my calling official.

I am now remarried and run a busy household of 8, with 3 wonderful children of my own & 3 beautiful step-kids. Creating a mindful marriage, blending a family of 6 children with diverse ages, needs and personalities, managing a household and continuing my work as an educator has not been an easy feat. Learning how to have a loving, fulfilling marriage while also honoring my own boundaries and needs has also been an adventure. I've had to be strong, intentional, focused and organized. I’ve had to let go of a lot. I’ve had to learn how to create meaningful balance for the things that matter.

So whatever you're struggling with, I get it. I've been through it. I can help.
