I was born between a Japanese mom and a Pakistani dad. I grew up in Dubai and eventually married a Greek man. My environment has always been super diverse, providing me with loads of exposure to different mindsets, cultures, and experiences. However, my life wasn't always fun and dazzling. I've experienced both abundance and lack of money. The diversity also led to culture clashes and a feeling of not belonging. There were also moments I've had to make difficult choices to walk away from those I loved dearly, for good reasons. I've also experienced heartbreak and several depressive episodes where I felt alone, lost, and hopeless.

I was a people pleaser who sought external validation, and feared being judged for who I am. I surrounded myself with people who expected a lot from me, and I did my best to meet their expectations, leaving my own needs behind. I was a saviour, the hero, who rescued people and made their problems my own. I was a perfectionist, codependent and insecure.

I devoted myself to facing my fears and accepting parts of me I once rejected. I understand the confusion of not knowing where to begin or how to handle life's challenges. It's tough when you've never had proper guidance. I've been there, and I know how hard it can be. So after reaching my own rock bottom, I made the decision to seek help. I explored therapy, coaching, and various healing methods in search of a solution to my emotional numbness. Years of self-reflection, soul searching, and support eventually led me to discover my true self, my purpose, and a newfound sense of freedom. This healing journey not only transformed me but inspired me to help others in their struggles.

Looking back, I realize that life has always thrown me into challenging circumstances where I was forced to make difficult choices from a young age. I have made mistakes that I'm not proud of; however, these moments were my turning points. They made me stronger, wiser, more loving, and more compassionate. Now, I am able to truly understand people for who they are and where they are struggling.

After dedicating years to personal growth, I now lead a life filled with increased peace, motivation, and energy. I've discovered a sense of purpose and vitality. It doesn't imply perfection; rather, I've achieved a balance within myself. I understand my capabilities, recognize my boundaries, and know how to contribute authentically. While I persist in challenging myself and face life's constant tests, I approach the journey with greater confidence and trust in the process of evolving into the best version of myself.

One of my favorite things to do is to connect with people, as I find them complex yet relatable. Coaching is particularly fulfilling for me, as it allows me to delve into a person's true essence and illuminate their authentic self. Another thing I love is learning through experience. It introduces me to a new perspective that helps me expand how I look at things. Ultimately, I love to grow, and I love to be a part of others’ growth!
