What People Are Saying
“Before coaching, I was doing well at work but felt completely lost in my personal life. I was stuck in a negative cycle — emotional, unhappy, and unsure how to change. Working with Maariyah has been incredible. She helped me challenge my thoughts, shift my perspective, and find balance again. I feel genuinely happier and no longer weighed down by the darkness I once carried. I can honestly say I’m in such a better place now — calmer, lighter, and more confident. Coaching with Maariyah has truly changed how I see myself and my life.”
“When I started working with Maariyah, I didn’t expect much — but the change has been incredible. Each session lifted me, and to my surprise, the feeling lasted. My relationships have improved, but the biggest shift is within me. I’ve learned so much about my emotions and how to manage them, rather than letting them control me. I feel more peaceful, confident, and content than I have in years. Coaching with Maariyah has been completely life-changing — a hidden gem!”
“Before joining ShifaCoach, I was completely exhausted — mentally and emotionally. Anxiety, sleepless nights, and constant pressure had become normal for me. Through Maariyah’s coaching I feel lighter, calmer, and more like myself again. The tools and exercises Maariyah introduced have helped me manage stress and focus on what truly matters. My mood, mindset, and energy are completely different now — both at home and at work. I feel grounded, emotionally stronger, and genuinely happier. ShifaCoach has been a true turning point in my life.”
“When I first met Maariyah, I was in a lot of pain — emotionally and physically. Every day felt like a struggle, filled with negative thoughts and tension in my relationships. I didn’t know how to move forward. Maariyah created such a safe, understanding space that I was finally able to open up and release so much that I’d been holding inside. Each session brought more peace and clarity. My relationships have improved so much, and I now feel stronger, calmer, and more in control. I’ve tried other types of therapy, but nothing has helped me the way Maariyah’s coaching has.”
“I joined ShifaCoach because I was struggling to communicate effectively with family and at work. From the very first session, Maariyah helped me see things differently —her gentle guidance and the tools she introduced, like the App, helped me calm my mind, refocus, and recognise when I was sabotaging my own peace. Over time, I started feeling lighter, more balanced, and more self-assured. The change has been amazing — I feel calmer at work, closer to my family, and more at peace within myself. Coaching with Maariyah has been eye-opening and genuinely heart-warming.”
“For years I lived with anxiety, sadness, and fear — trying everything from medication to therapy but never feeling like myself. I had lost my sense of purpose and joy. When I started coaching with Maariyah, I honestly didn’t believe it could help — but it completely changed my life. Each session lifted something heavy off, incredible how much has shifted — I’m happier, more present, and full of life again. Coaching with Maariyah has been truly transformative — I feel reborn.”
“So many interesting concepts, more aware of my conversations and the impact they can have. I have changed from thinking that’s not possible to Oh Yes it is!! The programme really expanded my knowledge and experience.”
“I came into the programme with my eyes open. It was intense but with the exercises I experienced amazing shifts- even after the first weekend. It’s been a great journey. By the second week when I talked about public speaking – it didn’t seem like a problem any more – it’s not an issue. It was probably a negative experience that had led to that I’ve felt like I’ve grown loads at times ! Subsequent weeks, built up on the education and experience. It’s really elevated my confidence and belief in my abilities.”
“I really wanted to get the most out of this course- as the sessions progressed, I understood more and more… like bricks falling into place. You don’t realise how much you are learning… and now I realise that hey…you don’t have any excuses!! The human brain and it’s capacity. It’s really amazing.
Had an amazing month I’ve been talking about it to my friends and family constantly …anyone…you name it ..whoever listened to me!”
“Amazing, super inspirational amazing tips on how to be happy even when life isn’t perfect… and let’s face it everyone has ups and downs and I feel I’m so empowered as to how to manage this now going forward…so many golden nuggets….
I love the energy in the room, it’s fun and private. Having the tools to overcome problems as they arise and being aware of our language patterns.
English is not my first language but I can see how this relates across the spectrum no matter what you speak.
I have more confidence helping my client, how to ask deep powerful questions and also learnt some powerful techniques to get effective change quickly.”
“I loved the energy the training gave me. Even if I was feeling tired at the beginning within the first 5 minutes my energy was up and stayed like that. I learnt so much. After the first weekend I have seen a change in me. I have realised I’m powerful, resourceful, I have it all in me. I just need to change the direction. This programme helped me to see that and more importantly showed me how to do that. I can’t wait to share it with others. Excellent training… I have been into self-development for years and this opened new perspectives up for me …it opened my eyes even more about connecting to our inner self and connecting to my foundation …back to basics …. Deepened my spirituality … it’s been the best thing ever.”
“It was so hectic trying to do this course and I kept my camera off sometimes ..with kids around ,,but I still got so much from it ..I realise how much mind- reading I’ve been doing ..and how this has played out in my relationships ..as so often they meant the opposite of what I was thinking!! This has created so much awkwardness in my relationships…now I know!!
I have learnt so much about my mind and how it works and how this has been affecting my decisions and choices.
…so grateful.”
“There’s so much that I have gained from this programme. How mindreading and making assumptions gets in my way, I’ve learnt to step back now, the power of the unconscious mind and how it picks up things and the power of language. It’s about building the foundation so you can build on and direct your life the way you want. Thank you so much.”
“I love the way you blended the spirituality into the training. I have wondered about NLP before but have been put off by the ethos of the trainers and as soon as I knew you were delivering I knew this training would be different. The connections between my faith and my journey in self-development has been truly amazing. I’m so grateful for this. This programme was so fascinating I have taken away so much, I am resourceful and so is my client, the power of language and I am responsible for achieving my goals.”
“I loved the energy in the programme, the day passed by so quickly the pace and the energy was amazing. It was a very powerful experience a month, long productive journey, the start of what’s to come. I’m empowered to work on myself and help others too. Looking forward to building the blocks for me to help others through coaching and therapy also and building an income as the icing on the cake.”
“This programme was so powerful. Your role as a facilitator, teacher, coach was really powerful. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity My takeaways from the programme are numerous, my list is very long!! Going through the exercises took what we learnt deeper and deeper and I really experienced the shifts.”
“I needed something to push me in the right direction and this course did that. I have learnt so much about how the mind works and how this has impacted my life. I have realised I am more than good enough and how to be positive and surround myself with positive people. Negativity takes your energy away from you and I can see how that has been happening to me. I am going to share this with others, especially my nieces and nephews. The most amazing, I’m so grateful healing takes time but with this training, I realised it really doesn’t have to take time. I came for my own sake and I believe I found what I’m looking for.”
“Initially I was unsure about whether this was for me and I asked many questions, going back and forth, changing my mind about whether to do it or not. I’m so glad I chose to do it because it is so powerful. The changes I have experienced over the last couple of weeks ..when I first started have been amazing. I’ve made so many shifts – I’m so glad I actually did go ahead.”
