From Wounded
to Whole

I'm Rosy Akhtar, a trained ICF and CBT accredited coach, somatic trauma-informed practitioner, and educator with over ten years of experience in the education system. I specialise in working with Muslim women who carry their pain quietly, at home, at work, and as mothers, while continuing to show up for everyone else.

I hold qualifications in positive psychology, leadership, and domestic abuse and coercive control, and I bring fifteen years of lived experience to everything I do. This isn't just my profession. This work is personal.

My work is rooted in trauma-informed principles, lived experience, and deep compassion. This work exists because too many Muslim women are taught to endure, without ever being taught how to feel safe again.

I've met too many women who want to thrive, just the way you do, but don't have anyone to show them how, or whether it's even possible. I understand firsthand how Muslim women carry trauma silently. I know how exhausting it is to juggle all the roles, to feel mostly drained while carrying your past pains and wounds, and yet still show up for your children every single day.

You deserve more than survival. You deserve to feel whole.

For a long time, I was living in survival mode, even though from the outside, it didn't look that way. I was functioning, caring for others, carrying responsibilities, and showing up. But inside, I was deeply fatigued, emotionally, mentally, and physically, in a way that rest alone didn't touch.

After the birth of my fourth child, that survival mode became impossible to ignore. I was navigating depression while continuing to put everyone else first, my children, my family, expectations, responsibilities. I learned how to keep going even when I felt empty, heavy, or completely disconnected from myself.

I am a mother of amazing children, and it was for them, and for the woman I knew I still was beneath all of that exhaustion, that I chose to heal. That journey became the foundation of everything I now teach.
