✦ ABOUT ME ✦

---

Assalamu alaykom, I'm Umm Abdullah,

For most of my life, I didn’t know what safety felt like.

For most of my life, I didn’t know what safety felt like.

From my teenage years into early adulthood, I lived in cycles of chaos, emotional suppression, and survival. When I embraced Islam in my early twenties, I believed I had left that chapter behind. And on the surface, I had; my life looked completely different.
But internally, my body never caught up.

I learned how to function.
I learned how to push forward.
I learned how to stay strong.

I built a new life, got married, became a mother, and carried responsibility with devotion. Yet beneath it all, my nervous system remained in survival mode,  something I didn’t yet have language for.

I normalised chronic stress.
I dismissed emotional overwhelm.
I ignored my body’s signals until they became impossible to overlook.

Eventually, the cost became visible: persistent exhaustion, anxiety, physical tension, and constant nervous system dysregulation. I tried everything I knew — discipline, mindset shifts, journaling, self-care. They helped... but only on the surface.

Something deeper was still untouched.

What I came to realise is that my body wasn’t failing me.
It was doing exactly what it had learned to do to keep me safe.

And if I wanted to truly heal, not just manage. I needed a different kind of support.
One that worked with the root of the pain, not just the symptoms.

Through somatic and root-cause-oriented work, I began to explore and release the deeper patterns my body had been organising around for years. Through this process, my relationship with my body and my inner world began to change drastically.

Through somatic and root-cause-oriented work, I began to unravel and release the deeper imprints my body had been organising around for years.

I stopped fighting my symptoms and started listening to their wisdom.
I learned to process emotions my nervous system had stored since childhood.
And I began to feel what safety - real, embodied safety - actually was.

Not only did my chronic health issues go into remission, but my emotional and spiritual capacity expanded in ways I never imagined possible. I could breathe again. Think clearly. Respond instead of react. Be fully present in my ibadah, my motherhood, and my business.

Today, I help other Muslimah women who have built beautiful lives, and still feel like they’re bracing inside.

Because I know how disorienting it is to feel like you should be okay… and yet something still doesn’t feel right.

Root-Cause Therapy gave me a path to heal at the source, and now, it’s my honour to walk with you as you do the same, in your own timing, with full safety and support.

This work is trauma-informed, spiritually aligned, and led by your body’s wisdom, not forced, not rushed.

You're not broken. You're just carrying things you were never meant to hold alone.
