Assalamu Alaikum, I am Mais
Your Trusted Islamic Life Coach
A mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend — I have lived everything you are feeling. And I will walk every step of this journey with you.
With over 10 years of corporate experience as a Biomedical Engineer, I have built a successful career that taught me one profound truth — professional achievement alone is never enough if your soul is not at peace.
That realisation led me to dedicate myself fully to coaching women. I hold a Master's in Business Psychology and Coaching with 120+ ICF certified training hours, and a proven record of coaching women through life's most complex challenges — from entrepreneurs and small business owners to women navigating deeply personal transitions.
As a mother of three boys who has lived in both the Middle East and the United States, I understand intimately the unique complexities that Muslim women face — across cultures, relationships, and identities. I do not just understand your world. I have lived it.
Currently pursuing a Master's in Islamic Religious Leadership, I continuously deepen my knowledge of Islamic psychology and faith-based coaching approaches — bringing together the science of the human mind and the timeless wisdom of our deen. I am also pursuing an Ijaza in the Hafs narration of the Holy Quran, for the best moments of my day are those I spend with the words of my Lord.
This is not just coaching. This is a return — to yourself, to your purpose, and to Allah.

The 1:1 Coaching Experience
1.
Discovery Session
Your journey begins with a complimentary 20-minute one-on-one discovery session — a warm, confidential space where we explore who you are, what you are carrying, and where you long to be.
We begin by establishing a clear understanding of what coaching is and what it is not — because clarity from the start is what makes transformation possible. Once we are fully aligned, we formalize our partnership by signing the coaching agreement — your first intentional step toward change.
2.
Tailored Coaching Plan
A plan built entirely around you — your story, your goals, your challenges, and your pace. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here. Together we map out a clear, intentional path that reflects where you are today and where you want to be — rooted in Islamic principles and informed by evidence-based coaching methodology.
Your plan is not set in stone. Life changes, priorities shift, and growth takes its own course. As you move forward, your plan moves with you — adapting to your evolving needs, celebrating your progress, and always keeping you at the centre.
3.
Your 1:1 Coaching Sessions
We meet at a pace that works for you — structured around your goals, your life, and where you are in your journey. Sessions are available both face-to-face and online, giving you the flexibility to choose what feels most comfortable and convenient for you. Each session is a dedicated, confidential space where we go deep — working through challenges, building clarity, and taking meaningful steps forward. Grounded in Islamic psychology and professional coaching frameworks, every session brings you closer to the woman you were created to be.
4.
Ongoing Support System
Transformation does not happen in sessions alone — it happens in the moments in between. Based on your preference, between-session support is available in the form of a 15-minute follow-up call, email check-ins, or WhatsApp access — so you always have a trusted space to turn to as you move through your journey. You choose what works best for you.
Your success is my success. Seeing you achieve your goals, step into your strength, and live the life you deserve is not just my commitment — it is my greatest reward.

A rich group experience that combines transformational coaching with specialised Islamic studies courses — covering topics such as the science of the soul, Quranic reflections, Islamic psychology, and women in Islam. In a safe and intimate sisterhood space, you grow personally, deepen your knowledge of your deen, and walk the path of transformation together — because in Islam, we were never meant to walk alone.
Gather & Flourish
Complimentary events open to all women — a gift to the community and an invitation to experience the power of Islamic coaching firsthand. Through workshops, talks, and guided reflections, these gatherings are designed to inspire, connect, and plant the first seed of transformation.
