Rooted in love and lived experience
I know what it is to look successful on the outside while feeling lost on the inside. That journey is why I do this work.
The woman walking beside you
The journey home to myself
For years I held everything together. I performed, I achieved, I carried more than I let anyone see, and somewhere along the way I lost touch with myself. Finding my way back, through my own healing, is what led me to this work. It is why I can sit with a woman in that place without flinching, because I have lived it too.
Grown between worlds
I grew up between worlds. A Muslim father, a Jewish lineage through my mother, a Catholic ex-husband, and a heart that found its home in bhakti. Every faith I met carried the same truth at its centre: love. I have lived in Guinea, France, Morocco and England, and travelled through more than forty countries. I know what it is to move between cultures and never quite fit one box. It took me years to understand that this was never a flaw. It is a gift, and it taught me to welcome every woman exactly as she arrives.
Teaching women to come home
For more than twelve years I have been guiding women through dance and movement, including eleven years of Zumba. In my embodiment workshops, I have watched women set down what they had been carrying for years: the tension, the roles, the fears. Some cried. Some laughed for the first time in months. Some simply breathed more deeply. Those moments taught me more than any certification ever could. They showed me what becomes possible when a woman is given a safe space to return to herself.
In my circles, workshops and one-to-one conversations, I have walked with women through deeper questions, helping them reconnect with their purpose, rediscover their voice, and take steps toward a life that feels truly their own. I have also organised charity events in my native Guinea, the largest gathering more than 450 people, because service has always been at the heart of my path.
You do not need to change your nature to belong
Women Align & Shine grew from one simple truth: you do not need to change your nature to belong. You need to return to it. I created this sanctuary for women who have spent too long shrinking, performing, or fitting into spaces that were never designed for them.
Two threads, woven together
My path holds two threads, and I bring you both. Seventeen years in technology, six of them in senior leadership, gave me precision, structure and calm in the storm. During that time I mentored women in tech and initiated a Women in Tech programme, because even then, I knew that lifting women up was part of my purpose. I also led mindfulness and meditation sessions in corporate settings, helping employees reconnect with their values and find steadiness in demanding environments.
I come to this work as a trauma-informed coach, trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and certified in NLP. I am also a certified hypnotherapy practitioner, with international certifications in hypnotherapy, associate hypnotherapy, and neuroscience-based hypnotherapy. My work blends emotional healing, coaching, NLP and hypnotherapy to help women understand their inner blocks, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with more clarity and confidence. I hold certifications in life coaching and organisational development, and have studied leadership and executive coaching. I have taught yoga since 2019, meditation since 2022, and facilitated women's circles for years.
What matters most is not the list of tools I carry, but the quality of presence I bring. Every step of this path has been in service of one thing: being truly useful to the women who walk through this door.
If any of this feels like you, you are welcome
The first step is just a conversation. No pressure, no commitment.
