Hi,
I’m Naima Mohamed!
I am one of the few experts in the world who focus on the root cause of overthinking and anxiety holistically.
I have been there!
I focus on this area because I have been there. I used to be an A-grade negative over-thinker, I was riddled with self-doubt and was scared of making mistakes. As a former refugee who started school at age 8, I was always playing catch with my peers academically. Even though I was outwardly confident, my self-worth and self-esteem had always been on shaky ground and linked to external achievements.
Prior to coaching, you could find me mentally and emotionally exhausted teaching in a demand all boy secondary school full time, attempting to raise a child with a full-blown dairy allergy, riddled with mothering guilt because who knows what they are doing with their first born. But I couldn’t just be and grow into the job of being a mother, I had to overcompensate, read every book and try to be perfect for my child which sent my overthinking, negative self-talk and anxiety through the roof.
I was sick of having to push myself to excel at everything I did so, that I could feel good about myself. Despite always reaching my ambitious goals, I never felt good enough. The joy of accomplishment never lasted, and I was always reaching for the next goal. One day I ran out of steam, was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and I could no longer outrun my subconscious programming and limiting belief that made be believe that I needed to be outwardly more to feel good, to feel enough. It had left me burnt out and exhausted, constantly worrying about the future, picking fights with my husband and worrying about not doing enough for my son, I was unable to enjoy this gorgeous family I had created and was sabotaging it all. Sometimes our lowest moments, shake us out of living in our head and become the wake up call we need.
That was my breakthrough!
I committed to myself and started my journey of reclaiming my physical health by working with a naturopath. This did wonders for my physical well being. My adrenal fatigue was gone, I had lots of energy and started feel better about my work and home life, however my inner voice was still telling me you’re not a good enough mother, that you need to do better at home and at work it was telling me that I wasn’t a good enough teacher, that every lesson and every interaction needed to be exceptional that I needed to volunteer and take on jobs to feel like a valued part of the team even though I was sinking under the pressure of having so much to do.
I was determined to be happy and feel real gratitude for what I had instead of always looking at what was wrong, what I could do better and I was still stuck in the overthinking loop.
I couldn’t relax and so I started working with a mindset coaching to work on my emotional and mental health. I learnt to embrace and focus on gratitude and that shifted my perspective in finding joy in what I already had, my husband and I become closer, I started to enjoy my child and focused on being with him.
However, no matter how much coaching I got or how many modalities were used, I still felt like I would take a few steps forward but end up back where I started. I was becoming frustrated and questioning where the large sums of money I had spent were worth it. I still felt like I was trying to outrun my deep-seated ingrained beliefs about not being good enough, about having to work myself into the ground to deserve what I had, I was still self-sabotaging by eating too much sugar, procrastinating and then working myself into a stressed frenzy to get stuff done.
Having come from a psychology and teaching background, I started to see how, what I was learning from my coaches would transform the lives of those around me, but something was missing. No one was addressing how interconnected and holistic it all was. We are a holistic being and you can’t just work on the physical or the emotional or the mind, how our mind and more specifically how our subconscious effects how we saw ourselves, the world and our place in it.
But something was missing…
Coaching at the conscious level got me so far and I was grateful for the movement, but I felt that there was a powerful blueprint in my subconscious that was blocking me from doing what I really wanted to do, I would take two steps forward and then end up right back where I started. I went to work with a subconscious therapist and finally dealt with my limiting beliefs and subconscious blocks at the root.
This is when I realised that what I had actually needed from the start was one person who could work with me holistically, who was able to work with me on all three facets of a human being (the mind, body, and soul). The definition of wellness was fractured and addressed parts of myself but not all of me. I needed to work on my deep-seated subconscious blocks and beliefs as well as looking after my physical and emotional wellbeing to really have the transformational change I was looking for.
I emerged, with unshakeable confidence and self-belief and trust in myself to be able to deal with whatever happens in the future, my overthinking and anxiety disappeared, and I decided to leave teaching as I was no longer aligned or passionate about it and took the bull by the horns (in an animal-friendly way) and I have never looked back.
I used my 50 billion qualifications that I got while trying to prove I was just as good as my peers and combined all the things that I was taught and learned and put together this very programme. When I combined coaching, NLP and RTT, I was able to eliminate the limiting beliefs and subconscious blocks of my clients from their root and that’s why my clients rave about working with me but they don’t have to spend years trying to become the smart, happy woman who is working to fulfil her potential like I did. They need it all in program that is guaranteed to work in as little as 4 to 6 months.
