CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"I have been dealing with NHS Mental Health Services for about 8 years, including their therapy which I have found useful at time. Your classes were much better than alot of the therapy I’ve had. JazzakiAllahu khayra for always helping." Sister Nina, UK

 

"I heard about coaching with Hanaa through one of my friends who had a really positive experience with it. I was in a bit of a difficult place in my life and I knew I needed some help but wasn't exactly sure what I needed or how to help myself, I thought I'd give this coaching a go and see if it helped, and it was the best decision I have ever made Alhamdulillah! Before I started the coaching I had really low self esteem and low confidence, I also had anxiety surrounding work and often found myself overthinking all decisions I would make. I wasn't sure if the coaching would help to be honest at the start, as I felt like my problems were minor and just something that everyone has to deal with in life and I just had to 'get on with it', but actually after the coaching I realised that everyone's problems are unique and just as important and I was so happy I was able to finally identify areas of my life which I could focus on and improve. My biggest breakthrough through the whole process was when I realised I have (perhaps for the first times in my life) started to speak to myself and think of myself in a positive way. I was actually taking care of myself and feeling good about myself! I would 1000% recommend Hanaa, honestly I can't explain how my life has literally changed after my coaching sessions, my entire way of thinking and even the way I view myself, Alhamdulillah I am so glad I made this decision and I pray that Allah allows all those who also want to join this journey benefit as much as I did, and that He allows Hanaa to continue with her amazing work!" (Sister Aisha, UK)

 

"Salaam sister, not just because we had the gratitude session but just because I see every week so much is changing for me because of what I learn from your lessons, I want to say thank you. Aside from my messages on the group so much more has been happening due to the depths of your lessons. I could write a book on it. I just think you catering for this amazing service is a great blessing for each of us, it already has been for me. I admire people who do what you do, and I keep you in my duas because the job you're doing changes people's lives." Sister Nina, UK

 

"From this course you wouldn't believe some of the changes. I decided after the legacy module to go back into my role as a volunteer doula. I really felt able to give a piece of myself to helping women again. From the friend task I contacted those friends after years of neglecting our friendship and I made a huge bond with them again. Alhamdulilah. Thanks to this course and it's only week 2!"(Sister Maria, UK)

 

"I chose Hanaa’ to be my mentor initially, as I felt like we had a lot of things in common - being a visionary, loving to seek knowledge etc. After my initial approach, I was more inclined when Hanaa’ advised to perform istikhara before going ahead. This helped me understand that she was already putting Allāh (swt) before all else, and that’s what aided me to go further. At our first session, just speaking things out made me feel a lot better. However, this was only achieved as Hanaa’ is a great listener. Her calm tone and demeanour, helped me let things out more comfortably, with trust at its basis. Before I worked with Hanaa’, I was a reclusive individual, yet came across as a ‘happy’ extrovert despite not wanting to be around various people and environments. I had paused attaining my vision, shut off my own goals, put behind my education and job opportunities, and sadly lived to serve others before myself. ‘Peace’ for me was in pleasing people, gaining their trust at whatever cost and being a sponge absorbing their stress/anger, which had nothing to do me. I also found it difficult to take in compliments from others whether it was about my physical looks, character, achievements or actions, I just didn’t feel worthy of such words. I often used to over-think basic scenarios and seek validation - “did I hurt them? What if they think bad of me?” etc. Though, I experienced panic attacks, anxiety, trichotillomania and stomach issues constantly, I still remained vulnerable to those taking advantage of me. I had hidden trauma from childhood, which I didn’t know, was the root of all of these problems. Thus, it was an honour that Allāh (swt) granted me this opening through Hanaa’ to re-parent myself and heal through what was hindering my self worth all along. After meeting Hanaa’, I found several things. My voice. My passion. My opportunities. My confidence. My self worth. The outcome of these sessions materialised through achieving one life goal after another, swiftly and successfully Alhamdullilah. Even the simple things such as sleeping peacefully during the night, waking up with a smile on my face, feeling pretty and feeling motivated, made a huge difference to my lifestyle. I’ve learnt to speak up when something/someone was disturbing my peace. I’ve learnt to be the driver of my life and not the passenger. And I’ve also learnt to say what used to be the most difficult word ever for me - “No.” I never thought I’d ever be thankful for the trials I had gone through. But today, I’m as thankful as ever, as through the rough journey, I found myself. Alhamdullilah. I can go on forever, but it’s honestly been life-changing since being mentored by Hanaa’. My family and close friends testify to this, as they’ve seen a huge difference in my mental health. May Allāh Love Hanaa’ and her family. And may He reward Hanaa’ for every ounce of peace I have found in my heart, until He blesses her with the peace of seeing Him, in His Lofty Gardens, Insha’Allah." (Sister Fatima, UK)

 

"Dear Hanaa', Assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh🌹 I don't know how much you remember of me but I remember when I first met you at a workshop, you touched my heart immediately when you began sharing your words of wisdom. I met you again at the Journey to Self Love workshop and I thought it was so sweet of you to make the effort of coming up to me to make conversation. It made me feel valued because at the time I was in such a place of low. When I then heard you were running the Breathe Online programme, I didn't think twice about enrolling. I hired you because I liked that your coaching was 1:1 and on a regular weekly basis - it meant that it would be personalised and specific to me. It guaranteed consistency for 3 months rather than having large gaps between sessions. I liked that there is a structure to your programme, focusing on three things per month. Before I worked with you, I really struggled with my values and core beliefs; setting boundaries with people; and expressing myself in general, but now I feel like I am in a much better place Alhamdulillah. Initially I was preparing myself to hear things like 'be patient' or how to accommodate for other people etc, but not once in the 3 months did you say this to me - you only pushed me to put my health and well-being first before addressing anyone or anything else. I have gained so much knowledge and have been equipped with the tools to manage my emotions and look after my mental health. I really struggled to set boundaries with people - I couldn't even say the word no, but now I feel that you have helped me to value myself more and respect myself enough to give myself what I need rather than neglect it while prioritising others. I am so so thankful to Allah (swt) for allowing me to cross paths with you and for taking me to the direction of your work. I admire how positive and real you are, that I never once felt unheard or invalidated during our sessions. You made me feel so comfortable and understood. For these reasons I would highly recommend the Breathe Online Coaching Programme. May Allah (swt) reward you abundantly for your work and may He (swt) raise your ranks and place endless barakah in all that you do. Ameen. Your strength and down-to-earth nature is admired and so appreciated 💖" Lots of love, from Lina x

 

"I hired Hanaa as I was constantly over thinking and was having anxiety. I couldn’t deal with the loss of a dear person in my life. Before I was in a very stressful dull place. I just had no idea where to go next. I was constantly thinking and worried about the future. I was a bit skeptical before starting the session that this may be another therapy that may not work. After doing my first session with Hanaa. I felt confident that maybe this is what I need. She talked about the root cause and went into my pass and we began from there. There are so many layers of emotions and she helped me a lot. I would certainly recommend Hanaa." (Sister Zainab, UK)

 

"I hired Hanaa to help me launch my online course. Before working with Hanaa I had an idea of what I wanted to do but needed: * step by step support of how to make the idea jumbled up in my head a reality organised content to ensure its clear, well planned and beneficial for my clients * knowledge of different ways to market my course. I was scared that no1 would pay to hear what I had to say. I was skeptical that I wasnt known and didnt have lots of social media following so people would not be interested. I relised that whatever you have to offer the world all you need to do is plan and deliver. Allah will bring those who need to hear or see what you have to offer. I would recommend Hanaa as a coach because along with getting support to start my online course, the emotional support was immeasurable. Hanaa was my biggest cheerleader and made me believe in myself and my idea. Hanaa motivated me and continued to remind me of my why until the finish line 😊😊💕." Sister Habiba, UK

 

"Wa Alaikum Salam sister- another great session last night. I was truly blessed through it. Having study and practiced management and human motivation I thru out my life I thought there was little I could learn but Allah SWT knew different. I was truly inspired to make changes and more carefully guard the gift of time Allah SWT has given me. Inshaallah. Jazakallahu khair. It is my earnest prayer that Allah SWT rewards you abundantly for the seeds you have planted. Hugs and love" Sister Winter, USA

 

"JazakAllah again, you are really changing lives for those of us in real trouble with ourselves. May Allah reward you immensely." Sister Sumaya, UK

 

"Assalamu Alaykum Sister, I just wanted to let you know that your sessions inspired me so much that I have launched my online madrasah and have a website now." Sister Jahanara, UK

 

"Alhamdulillah for the healing journey I've been on with you. I was just telling my husband how it makes sense now when people say the healing journey is not pretty but worth it in the end; that people may not like seeing the new you bcos it wasn't in their favour. Alhamdulillah We have seen the progress made and can understand the challenges we now face rather than spiral into the whole guilt, blame, shame cycle. Jazakallahu khayran Hanaa', from the bottom of my heart I am SO thankful to Allah for allowing me to cross paths with you and directing to your work. Everything I have learnt is now coming into light. The behaviour of other people now makes sense and I fully accept and understand that it isn't me anymore, alhamdulillah! So proud of you and the work that you do mashaAllah 🧡🧡🧡" Sister Lina, UK
"I thought I had quite a good awareness of myself but I now realised that there are still many questions I didn’t ask myself. I also didn’t think that I would feel my Iman go up due reading reflections from others sisters." Sister Iman, UK
"Your classes were much better than alot of the therapy I've had" (Sister Hafsa, UK)
"Last night, when reflecting over 2020 and our achievements, I was telling my husband that you have changed my life" (Sister Maryam, UK)

 

"More confident in my relationship with Allah, more trust with Allah, more practical about my approach to life generally, more content in my current situation, more grateful for everything in life (including meeting sister Hanna)…. This programme has been phenomenal and I hope you will have another programme similar to this in shaa Allah soon." Sister Khadija , UK

 

"I started thinking about my purpose and legacy in this life and for the hereafter. I have become more confident in being vulnerable around people close to me. Met very lovely and brave sisters in this programme. I became more comfortable being me and knowing that I don’t have to/will not be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s absolutely okay!! This course came to my life at a crucial time and has paved the way to my growth in shaa Allah." Sister Halima, UK

 

"May allah reward you for your efforts and for bringing comfort and joy to our hearts. I love the fact that the platform is a safe and non judgemental platform where sisters can come and share.." Sister Faiza, UK

 

"My heart felt thanks for another great session. This type of dialog is so helpful beyond the typical type of online leaning and interaction I have experienced since becoming Muslim. I love the honest real discussion, it is as close as you can be sitting across from each other in a sisters home. I love this deen and the way Allah has gifted your team to do this work. Keep doing your precious work. Alhamduillah! Jazakallahu khair’ " Sister Winter, USA 

 

"Absolutely can't wait. This is truly a gift to me from Allah. I am so thankful. Jazak'allahu khayran to all of you…. I live in Barbados...mashaallah your message is reaching the Caribbean" Sister Makal, Barbados 

 

"Just want to say a massive thank you for all your efforts in the courses I have attended. The programme was organised very well and content was excellent - I have no areas where I can even suggest improvement Subhan Allah!’…. Please can I register for the course." Sister Reema, UK

 

"Thank you very much for the time you are putting in to do this course. It's been the most beneficial I have found in my years of self discovery. Tonight's session was particularly triggering, you were right. The whole session hit home. I was obviously meant to hear it subhanallah.I am becoming fearful of the 2 weeks ending and not being able to continue my journey to really fixing my issues. This is the first course and type of therapy I've come across that also covers the spiritual angle which to me is vital for recovery. I can't find this anywhere else. It is extremely hard to try to be open with someone who doesn't understand the religion in local therapies offered by the NHS……Jazakallah again, you are really changing lives for those of us in real trouble with ourselves.May Allah reward you immensely." Sister Khaleda, UK
