Where Faith, Science & Nervous System Healing Meet
Transform your inner world through a trauma-informed, faith-rooted approach — and return to the woman
Allah created you to be.
I am Ilya
A Revert of 14 years, A single mOTHER, A muhajirah, and
a woman who rebuilt her life from the deepest kind of emotional collapse.
My mission is simple:
to help Muslim women heal deeply, regulate their nervous system, and reclaim the brilliance Allah placed within their fitrah.
Through somatic healing, Islamic psychology, breathwork, and root-cause emotional work, I guide you back to the clarity, confidence, and grounded presence you’ve been yearning for.
This work is sacred.
And you are safe here.
THE WOUND THAT SHAPED MY CALLING
Before I ever studied trauma, somatics, or the nervous system, I lived it.
For decades, I navigated the deep currents of emotional turmoil — patterns of hurt, loss, and unresolved pain that shaped my life.
Among these experiences was a pathological, narcissistic relationship — the kind that slowly erodes your self-worth, sense of safety, and identity from the inside out. Alhamdulillah, my soul recognised the damage and could do nothing but break free.
I know what it means to:
- live in chronic hypervigilance
- freeze when you want to speak
- carry shame that isn’t yours
- lose your voice
- rebuild your nervous system piece by piece
Through these struggles, I discovered the truth of Allah’s promise:
He will not give us more than we can bear.
With faith, somatic healing, and nervous-system repair, it is possible to reclaim yourself, reconnect with your inner strength, and step into your light.
This is why I do this work. Not from theory, but from lived experience, resilience, and divine mercy.
my journey
Faith, Hijra, Motherhood & Transformation
In 2011, Allah placed emaan in my heart and changed the course of my life. Reverting to Islam reshaped everything — my identity, my purpose, and the way I understood healing.
I pursued a degree in Environmental Science while balancing motherhood, full-time work, and a growing spiritual life. Studying creation profoundly deepened my awe for the Creator.
Then in 2021, Allah guided me to make hijra to The Gambia — another rebirth.
A new land. A new chapter.
A space to raise my son with emotional awareness, faith, and intention.
Through my own healing journey — trauma recovery, breathwork, somatic regulation, Islamic psychology —
I realized this was my calling all along.
This wasn’t “coaching.”
It was the work Allah prepared me for.
My Healing Philosophy
I believe that healing is both sacred and deeply human.
Your nervous system, your emotions, and your spiritual heart are not separate —
they were designed by Allah to work together with perfect wisdom.
In my work, I honour three core truths:
- Your nervous system is not your enemy — it’s your protector.
Everything you feel, avoid, freeze, or fight is a message, not a flaw. - Your body remembers what your mind tries to move past.
Real transformation begins when we gently work with your system, not against it. - Healing must strengthen your faith, not compete with it.
When psychology and Islamic principles come together, clarity and inner safety return.
My approach blends trauma science, somatic work, and Islamic psychology to help you
come home to who Allah created you to be — grounded, clear, confident, and whole.
HOW I HOLD SPACE
Clients often tell me:
- “I’ve never felt so safe.”
- “You see the root immediately.”
- “You hold space with compassion and zero judgment.”
- “I shifted more with you than in years of therapy.”
- “I finally feel like myself again.”
I walk beside you tenderly but honestly — with truth, presence, and unwavering belief in
your ability to heal.
My approach is:
- deeply compassionate
- intuitively sharp
- clinically informed
- spiritually grounded
- trauma-safe
- non-judgmental
- embodied and practical
I Believe in…
01 | ALLAH
Everything begins and ends with Him. He is the reason I am on the path of empowering my sisters to live up to their full potential. Brilliant and Imperfect.
02 | CONNECTION
My power to deeply connect makes my clients feel seen, heard and felt. No experience is too big or too heavy; I hold space with deep compassion, free from judgment.
03 | ROOTS
Challenges must be met at their source— whether emotional, mental or spiritual. True and lasting change comes from clearing blocks at their root, not just treating surface-level symptoms.
04 | POTENTIAL
You were created with unique, God-given gifts. My work is to help you rediscover your brilliance and step into it with confidence and purpose.
05 | PARTNERSCHIP
A safe, trusting partnership is at the heart of transformation. I walk beside you with empathy, encouragement and unwavering belief in your ability to thrive.
WHO I SERVE
I support Muslim women who:
- feel stuck in emotional patterns they can’t explain
- want healing that honours both psychology and faith
- struggle with overwhelm, shame, anxiety or shutdown
- are tired of “just be patient” advice
- want to rebuild confidence, boundaries and self-trust
- crave emotional stability and spiritual clarity
- are survivors of emotional, relational, or identity trauma
- want to return to their God-given essence
If you’re ready for deep, gentle, spiritually aligned healing — you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
You deserve this
Taking care of yourself is not selfish, it’s an act of self-love.
Self-development is a key aspect of Islam. Imagine yourself as a diamond in the rough.
You deserve to heal.
You deserve clarity.
You deserve emotional peace.
And you deserve to step into the woman Allah created you to be.
