Real Stories of Transformation
These client stories of trauma-informed coaching share what healing can look like when you work with your nervous system and your faith — not against it. The women you’ll read about weren’t “broken”; they were overwhelmed, shut down, stuck in old survival patterns, or carrying trauma that never had space to be processed safely.
In my trauma-informed, somatic and faith-rooted coaching, we move gently and practically: building emotional safety, reducing overwhelm, and helping you come back to your body, your clarity, and your self-trust — in a way that honours your deen.

Marie’s story
From Shut Down & Suicidal to Slowly Coming Back to Life
Late-teen client with complex trauma, chaos and deep self-loathing.
Before:
- Completely shut down and dissociated
- Hypervigilant, paranoid, suicidal and physically unwell
- Felt she “just had to live with it” and that no one truly saw her
After:
- Able to name her feelings instead of staying numb
- Found relief through art, dark humour and honest expression
- Started to love her scars – the ugly, the healed and the fresh ones – and see herself as more than her pain
Sumayya’s journey
From Constant Flashbacks to Finally Feeling Safer Inside
Muslim revert in her 50s, carrying decades of unresolved trauma and nervous system overwhelm.
Before:
- Constantly reliving childhood trauma and abuse
- Hyper-vigilant, exhausted, with insomnia and chronic tension
- Felt “too much” for therapists and deeply alone
After:
- Past feels like memory, not a trap
- Nervous system softer; sleep and body slowly calming
- People around her notice she seems lighter, calmer and more present
