My journey into somatic, trauma-informed work began through motherhood. As I raised my children, I came to understand how deeply our past experiences, beliefs and nervous system patterns shape the way we show up, not just as parents, but as individuals. I saw that behaviour is rarely the problem, and that lasting change doesn’t come from trying harder, but from understanding what lives beneath the surface.

I became increasingly aware of the urgent need for trauma-informed education within our Muslim communities. Many Muslim mothers carry unspoken pressure and inherited patterns while trying to raise emotionally healthy children, often without language or support to understand what they are holding.

My work now sits at the intersection of home and classroom, because children grow best when all the adults around them are aligned. I support Muslim mothers, alongside teachers and professionals, to develop a shared understanding of emotional safety, nervous system regulation and trauma-aware care. When parents and educators are supported to show up grounded and regulated, children benefit from that because cycles are broken before it reaches them.

Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I bring together somatic, trauma-informed coaching and positive psychology in a way that is practical, culturally sensitive to the Muslim community and deeply human. This work allows me to support individuals, families and educational spaces to move beyond survival and toward environments where healing, growth and genuine wellbeing are possible.
