about
I am a holistic practitioner, coach, and facilitator of transformative experiences that blend aspects of mind, body, breath, sound and energy work - based in Dubai and online.
Like you, I spent years trying to be everything I was "supposed" to be.
I thought self-worth came from meeting society's tall demands for women.
For me, these demands were felt as a mix of modern pressures and deep-rooted cultural expectations. I felt the lifelong need to prove myself, achieve more, fit in, be liked, do no wrong, keep the peace, maintain patriarchal traditions and never let anyone down, at any cost.
All the while, I was avoiding deeper emotions, feeling trapped, bottling resentment, overworking, burning out, battling with my own wants and needs, depressed on the inside, and of course, not even remotely aware of the signals my body was giving me, until I had no choice.
In 2020, I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cystadenoma with an extremely high cancer marker and more. Spoiler alert... Against all medical odds, through holistic healing I was able to experience my own mind-body miracle, just 2 months later. It ignited my life's purpose to help others tap into their own power.
Since that time, I've immersed myself in extensive study, integration, and embodiment of both modern and ancient philosophies, exploring the threads of connection between them. In my pursuit of the truth behind what really makes us heal, thrive and restore our natural state of balance, I've learned that our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing are deeply interconnected.
I discovered that true transformation isn't about surface-level fixes. In fact, it's not about fixing ourselves, at all.
True transformation is about unlearning everything that makes us feel like we were never enough in the first place. It's about harnessing the power of the mind, listening to the wisdom of the body, and returning to the knowing of our innate wholeness.
In my work, I blend intuition with certified mindset, somatic, energetic, and consciousness-expanding practices in tailored, trauma-sensitive ways. My diverse set of tools work holistically to support clients on multiple levels.
When you work with me, you get all that I am - my cultural background, my unique perspective, a safe space, and my wholehearted belief in you. If you are ready to release what no longer serves you and awaken your hidden potential, I invite you to join me.

HOW
mind-body miracle STORY
went
In March 2020, the world shut down, and so did my life. The doctors found a large ovarian cystadenoma with an extremely high cancer marker. If it grows any bigger, the whole ovary will be removed, they said. Your tubes are also irreversibly damaged, so might as well take those out too, they said. And you know what that means. It was an unimaginable circumstance for me at age 27.
The doctors advised surgery, but with COVID-19, all procedures were postponed that weren’t yet life or death. The idea of just waiting around until further notice was unbearable… unable to make a wrong move, in case it ruptured, in case it grew. Mentally, I was spiralling. IVF, adoption, cancer, death? I had no idea what was in the cards for me, or why this happened. I went home from the hospital and mourned. Emotionally, I let it all out.
Then, as if a light switch was flipped on, something clicked. My intuition was loud and clear.
I remembered that around 85% of disease is linked to stress alone, or in other words, “our own interpretation of life”. If the subconscious mind and nervous system play a role in creating disease, they can technically also have a role in undoing it, right?
And so it was... I dove headfirst into de-stressing on every level. I started a holistic mind-body protocol the very next day, opening up a pandora's box of my inner world for the first time. I implemented things like coaching, inner child healing, hypnotherapy, somatic work, stretching, energy work, pressure points, meditation, nutrition, elimination, supplements - you name it. You could say that I was doing the most, but that kinda sounds exhausting, doesn't it? At the time, it felt like I was actually doing the least and being the most. I had one intention, and that was to reduce inner tension, AKA stress. I did not have the intention to heal, because that...? That is high pressure.
After two months of full commitment, I felt something massive shift within me - and the shift wasn't what you might think, even though you know the end of this story.
It got to the point where I felt this condition was my biggest blessing in life, not my biggest curse. Why? Because without it I wouldn’t have begun this path of sacred reconnection to myself. It's one of those things that if you know, you know. To me, regardless of the physical outcome, I knew I would be okay with it.
My father’s family is Pakistani and my mother’s family is Californian. I grew up living in Pakistan, the UK, the UAE and the US. Through the process, I unearthed deep-rooted heaviness; inner conflicts, limiting beliefs, and stored emotions that had been holding me back from feeling free within, as an east-meets-west eldest daughter. I found the courage to be real with myself and face a whole lot that I'd been suppressing, with compassion instead of shame.
When I returned to the doctor, something miraculous happened: my cystadenoma had vanished, my tubes had healed, and my cancer marker was back to normal. My doctor said she had never seen anything like it in her medical career.
This experience opened my eyes to the true power of that exists within us, when equipped with the right tools, guidance, and trust. This is why I do what I do.
I was skeptical at first of having a session online, but after my time with Anika I am fully converted! She is an incredible practitioner and her energy is palpable even online.
Her gentle nature and voice helped me to reconnect to my inner self and soul and separate from the noise outside. It really helped to ground me and I just couldn’t recommend her more!
I was able to release strong emotional blockages, and even physical pain throughout my body. I felt calmer, I broke through dark energies in my body and none of it would have been possible without Anika’s guidance.

From the moment I arrived to start my healing process with Anika, I felt a sense of calm, trust and a warm energy.
Anika was there for me, and during the time we had together, she was solely focused on me.
I knew the session was going to be good, I just didn’t expect how incredible it would be. During the sessions we had some big breakthroughs, topics in my life I didn’t realise needed healing came up.
It was magical, like nothing I have ever experienced.

Working with Anika was a life-altering experience.
She is very empathetic and professional. I was struggling with my own self-worth and like a beautiful ray of sunshine, Anika came into my life at the right time.
She heard me out, tracked my past and suggested exactly where my issue was. She has this versatile tool box that anyone can help gain clarity, alter the thought process and create a new path. I'm looking forward to spending more time with you in the future.
