From Healing Myself to Helping Others Find Their Way
For the longest time, I believed that if you love people sincerely, they will love you back.
I was an obedient, sincere girl who genuinely wanted to be there for everyone. I believed in helping, adjusting, giving, and keeping people happy. But somewhere along the way, I became an over-giver, over-responsible and a people-pleaser — and I didn't even realise it. I was so busy taking care of everyone else that I slowly stopped taking care of myself.
The years when I lost myself:
During my graduation years, I went through a difficult phase. I struggled with Depression and OCD, but at that time, I didn't understand why I wasn't happy even when I was constantly helping the people around me. I kept wondering...
"I am doing so much for everyone. Then why don't I feel happy?"
The answer came much later. I had stopped prioritising myself. I had stopped taking responsibility for my own emotional well-being. And that was only the beginning of a journey that would take me through some of the most challenging — and transformative — years of my life.
After becoming a mother, I was overweight, struggling in my marriage and feeling lost about my career. And then came one moment that I can never forget....
I was just 30 years old. My son was around one and a half years old, and one day, because of severe back pain, I couldn't even lift him. I looked at myself and asked:
- "Do I want to live like this?"
- "Do I want my son to see his mother as someone who is always helpless and complaining?"
- "Do I want to continue living with this kind of health, this kind of emotional exhaustion and this kind of life?"
Something inside me screamed... NO.
And that "NO" became the beginning of my transformation.
"What is happening inside me?"
Learning to pause, look within, and take full responsibility for emotional healing became the foundation of everything I teach today.
I decided to take my life back.
I started counselling and began looking within. Instead of constantly asking, "Why are people doing this to me?", I started asking myself: "What is happening inside me?"
I began understanding my emotional patterns, working through my unhealed wounds and taking responsibility for my own healing. Slowly, I started changing — from the inside out. I worked on my physical health and reduced my weight. I began taking care of my mental and emotional well-being. I explored personal growth and attended several transformational programs.
One program, "You can Heal Your Life," created particularly a powerful shift in my mindset. For the first time, I truly understood how powerful — and sometimes miraculous — Healing can be. And gradually, I began to realise something beautiful. Perhaps everything I had gone through was preparing me to help someone else.
From healing myself to helping others:
In August 2020, I took my first step as a Life Coach. And since then, there has been no looking back. I started working with people who were struggling with their emotions, self-image, relationships, communication and their relationship with themselves.
What touched me the most was seeing how often people would say: "I never looked at it this way before."
The solutions were often simple. The difficult part was understanding what was really happening within. That became the Heart ❤️ of my work.
In 2023, I completed my NLP Master's training, which added another powerful dimension to my understanding of the human mind, emotions and behaviour. Over the years, I have conducted programs and coaching sessions around Self-Love, Peace of Mind, Emotional Wellness, Relationships, and People-Pleasing — including how to say NO with Love. And every client, every conversation and every transformation has taught me something new.
"The heart of my work is understanding what is truly happening within."
Bringing NLP master tools, clinical discipline, and heartfelt empathy to empower clients with lasting emotional resilience.
From a Dentist to a Coach — a journey I never planned
I am a Dentist by education. Becoming a coach was not something I had planned at the beginning of my life. But today, I see how beautifully the pieces of my journey fit together.
- My own struggles taught me compassion.
- My healing taught me courage.
- My experiences taught me emotional wisdom.
And my journey taught me that you don't have to remain the person your circumstances once made you.
In 2026, another beautiful chapter unfolded when I was given the opportunity to be associated with and take charge of Walk in Clouds – The Mind Wellness Centre, where I work with young students, faculty members, staff and others, creating a space for emotional wellness, self-awareness and mental well-being.
Looking back, I realise that the woman who once felt lost was slowly being prepared for the work I do today. And this is why I became a Coach.
Finding Your Way Back
I don't believe that people need someone to "fix" them. I believe that sometimes, they simply need someone to help them pause, look within, understand themselves and discover the strength that was already there.
If my journey has taught me anything, it is this:
You can lose yourself while loving others.
You can struggle and still find your way back.
You can start again — even when you think it is too late.
I was once the woman who didn't know how to prioritise herself. Today, I help women understand that taking care of yourself is not selfish. It is necessary. And if you are somewhere in your own journey feeling lost, overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from yourself, I want you to know one thing: If I could find my way back to myself, so can you.
"If I could find my way back to myself, so can you."
You can lose yourself while loving others, and you can still find your way back. True healing begins the moment you give yourself permission to heal with kindness, patience, and courage.
This journey has been filled with challenges, learning, healing, faith and countless small moments of transformation. And today, I feel deeply grateful. Grateful for the woman I was. Grateful for the woman I became. And most of all, grateful for every person who allows me to be a small part of their journey.
This is my story.
And perhaps, in some little way, it can remind you that your story can
change too.

A Word from My Teachers & Mentors
The mentors who witnessed my transformation, guided my growth, and shaped the compassionate, resilient coach I am today.
Saif Ulla Khan
Senior Corporate Trainer | Executive Coach | Leadership Consultant | NLP Master Trainer
"As a trainer in my industry for over a decade, I have had the privilege of meeting many talented individuals. Abida, however, was undoubtedly one of the sharpest and most curious students I have taught. She possessed an exceptional desire not merely to learn, but to deeply understand and master every module."
"What stood out most was that her passion was never externally driven. It did not come from watching someone else make an impact; it grew from her own journey; her struggles, challenges and the resilience she developed along the way. She faced emotional difficulties, health challenges and social pressures, yet handled them all with remarkable grace and refused to give up."
"Those experiences did not weaken her; they shaped her. They inspired her to become the compassionate, resilient and deeply committed coach she is today."
"Among the thousands of students I have trained, there are some I know I will always remember. Abida will undoubtedly be one of them."
Dr. Mohinder Paul Sharma
Clinical Psychologist
“Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the decision to grow anyway. Dr. Abida has done that—and now she helps others do the same. I am honored to have witnessed her journey.”
"Dear Dr., your empathy is rooted in your own healing, and your growth is not finished. I am proud of the person you are becoming and the space you are creating for others."
