My work is inspired by my vulnerabilities and transformational moments that I experienced throughout my healing journey. I would have never thought of the many layers that I have shed through this journey. The ways I was transformed, evolved and re-sculpted into many versions of my self. All of which now I integrate and accept as part of my "rich" self.
Being innately passionate about helping others and as a result of how inspiring the transformation was for me, I embarked on learning and qualifying since 2005. I felt more confident working and relating with my clients, having gone through this journey myself.
My own healing never came to fruition until I was addressing myself as a whole being, addressing all aspects of my being: Body, Heart, mind and soul. This is what has motivated me to study practices of healing in those four realms. When we heal on a holistic level, we transcend from the inside out.
I work on a four-layer holistic tier that takes into account that healing happens on 4 layers of existence which are the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. I come from a rather rich British-Egyptian background and due to having a wide exposure with my upbringing and working in many countries around the world I have developed a strong intercultural competence to work with you whoever you are and however you want to define your personal culture. I believe what is beyong inter-cultural is that you and me are human beings and this holds us to a meaningful and deep relational depth if we bring the core of our humaniy to play in a safe, professional and psychologically informed, confidential, compassionate, acceptant and non-judgemental space.
I don't believe in shortcuts, one bill fits all, quick fixes, I respect and honour my clients' bio-individuality, neurodiversity, and pace of healing and their personal choice of what optimal wellbeing mean and feel for you.
I started writing at the age of 13 and in one of my first reflections in life, I realised that my vision is to bring wellbeing for others, the world and the universe. Only years later, I realised that I have to start with myself in order to transcend. From there on, my work began.
In 2003, my early twenties, as a marketing manager in a multinational after having delivered a very successful event. I watched our 6 months plans being shredded and thought I don't want to spend a life in a world where my work and impact is something that gets shredded after I leave. I started out with one sentence echoing from my heart to my head: "If I can make someone's heart smile, I may have made a difference.".
Little that I know, this sentence was the beginning of many leaps of faith and roads less travelled. I have in my life experienced sexual abuse, abusive relationships, loss and grief from an early age; many traumatic experiences that I can only now say have made me re-built myself and have a say about it while it is happening, it grew my resilliece out of the inner beauty and grace of my vulnerabilities. In parallel universes, I befriend my dragons and may identiy as a phoenix, butterfly and a flying unicorn!
My intention is to create a ripple effect through my work that restores our sense of wellbeing as human beings and communities.
I abide by my core values and the ethical frames of work of my accrediting bodies. I work closely with my therapist and supervisor, as well as continually take continuing professional development trainings to ensure the competence, purity and authenticity as well as professionalism of my work.
