About Nafs Healing
Nafs Healing was founded by Asiya Shaikh who was always fascinated by the miraculous nature of humans as a whole, comprehensive and holistic being. At Nafs Healing we take a unified trauma-informed approach and consider the psychological, physical, spiritual and social dimensions, to provide holistic mental health services from a Biopsychosocial & heart-opening spiritual perspective. We provide a safe and inclusive environment, culturally-relevant services, utilizing anti-racism and anti-oppressive framework to work with people of colour, visible minorities, refugees and anyone who is culturally wounded and seeking to heal.
Our methods are rooted in a traditional approach to healing the whole being, we engage the metaphysical heart (qalb), self (nafs), mind (aql), emotions (ihsaas), body (jism), and spirit (ruh). As healing the nafs is psycho – spiritual, our approach is not limited to talk therapy and often includes somatic, embodied experiential work which allows access to deeper parts of the self. We combine embodied practices like horse-riding, archery, swimming, nervous-system reset by working with the vagus nerve also known as the ‘soul nerve’. We integrate different techniques, tools and evidence-based therapies to cater to the unique needs of each client.
“Successful indeed is the one who purifies their soul.” (Qur’an 91:9)
Our goal is to help individuals and families not only recover but also grow through the process. We believe healing is the revival of the ummah to reach its full potential for what they were created for. You can count on us as a rafeeq – a companion on this healing & rewarding journey.

It is never too late to ask yourself, ‘Am I ready to change my life, am I ready to change myself ’? .
However old we are, whatever we went through, it is always possible to be reborn. If each day is a copy
of the last one, what a pity! Every breath is a chance to be reborn.– Shams Tabriz
