Career History & Highlights 

I completed my Bachelor of Arts from Sydney University in 1994 (majoring in Islamic studies, government and economics). I was always interested in psychology and helping people get through their mental health struggles to live a better life. That’s why I enrolled in intensive NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) training with Evolve Now Mind Institute in 2003, and in 2006 became a certified NLP graduate, trained by Inspiritive Pty Ltd, Sydney, which runs the only John Grinder (co-founder of NLP) endorsed and nationally accredited Vocational Graduate Certificate in NLP.

Over the past 20 years, I have worked at management level offering personal development training in Australia for adults and youth. In 2021, I graduated from Melbourne University with a master’s degree in applied positive psychology, to expand the depth and scope of my personal development educational services.

Thanks to many years of learning and training in personal development, from NLP to Islamic and spiritual fields, my combined services can support you towards greater wellbeing.

I started my professional journey by teaching in schools from 1996. In 2002, after discovering endless benefits of personal development in life skills and well-being, my career shifted into this growing area to help adults develop themselves on all levels – mental and emotional health awareness is one example. Since then, I have also worked with Self Mastery Solutions and extensively with Life Matters Academy, with my amazing friend and business partner, Dalya Ayoub, to whom I am deeply grateful to have been honoured to work heart and soul together, in serving the community with a range of empowering personal development services .

Personal development areas I have taught over the past 15 years:

Communication Skills – Relationship Skills – Personal Change Skills – Performance Skills – Personal Management Skills – Personal Leadership Skills

I haven’t stop learning and never will insha’Allah, because I believe the more we learn, the more we broaden our horizons and understanding. Through my study of human wellbeing and going deep into what drives success and high levels of personal growth, I have gained valuable knowledge and skills that don’t just come with theoretical learning but practical wisdom. They have helped me become highly motivated to help and pass on this knowledge and skills to other people, to expand and grow like never before.

My Heritage & Personal Life

My heritage is from Egypt with a mix of Italy and Turkey. I was born in Canada and raised in Sydney. This diversity has given me a rich opportunity to see the diversity and individuality in others.

Islam has played a great role in my life journey. I was raised Catholic, but at 20 discovered Islam’s priceless teachings. Its rich knowledge content and wisdom intrigued me to the extent that I chose Islam as my path. Since then, I have been practicing Islam and striving to spread positivity among others. Islam has taught me millions of things, including seeing the good in everyone and respecting people from every walk of life.

My supportive husband is Sayed Layth Almosawy, an Islamic scholar and sheikh of 15 years, with whom we have four children. In my free time, I love nature, sports and meditation. I have deeply invested time in meditation for many years, which has enhanced my spiritual senses and well-being.

Islamic Learning, Growth and Teaching

Since converting to Islam at 20, I haven’t stopped exploring and learning about my beautiful religion. I completed a Masters in Islamic Studies from Charles Sturt University in 2019. I have been a volunteer at Affinity Intercultural Foundation and Islamic Sciences and Research Academy Australia (ISRA), presenting about 50 talks and workshops over the past 18 years, since 2004, over a wide range of Islamic topics, such as:

• Overview of Islam, Advanced Islamic Studies & Personal Leadership
• Studies of Religion talks to high schools – 5 Pillars of Islam and Key Beliefs of Islam
• The Life and Character of the Prophet (PBUH), Ramadan and Hajj, Prayer in Islam
• Value of Time in Islam and Inner Peace in Islam
• Women in Islam & Hijab in Islam

I have always loved sharing the beauty of Islam with others. I did so by also volunteering at Auburn Mosque for many years, as a mosque tour guide and speaker to non-Muslim visitors, groups, and Catholic and public high schools.
