History of Care Nest

As a teenager, I struggled with depression and social anxiety.

What made my healing process especially difficult was the absence of culturally and religiously aligned mental health support. I couldn’t find a counselor or therapist who’d fully understand my experience as a brown Muslim girl — without me having to translate my faith, family dynamics, and identity struggles.

It was through years of Islamic learning, mentorship, and spiritual grounding that I began to truly heal.

And in that process, I realized something that continues to guide my work today: as Muslims, we need holistic care, guidance that addresses the mind, soul, and heart. We need practitioners who are well-versed in both psychological AND religious knowledge to truly make a difference.

With this intention, I pursued a degree in psychology after completing a four-year Traditional Islamic Scholarship program, and later became a certified life coach.

Welcome to Care Nest

In 2019, Care Nest was born:

An intersection of Islamic spirituality, mental health, and my lived experiences.

It’s a combination of…

• Traditional Islamic Scholarship – Alimah degree, i.e. Masters in Arabic & Islamic Studies
  
• Clinical Psychology Training – Bachelors of Science with Honors (Gold Medalist 🏅)
  
• Life Coaching & Mindfulness Teachings – Life Coaching Certification: Beginner to Advanced + Mindfulness Practitioner (Ongoing)
  
• Lived Experience – From bullied immigrant kid to cycle-breaking mom; from cancer caregiver to grieving widow.
  

Drawing from both clinical psychology training and traditional Islamic scholarship, my unique approach bridges the gap between faith and therapy to provide my clients with holistic mental health support.

From anxiety and panic attacks → To Islamically-sound emotional regulation techniques that actually work.

Constantly people-pleasing and self-sabotage → To setting boundaries without compromising your Akhlaq or Deen.

You’re feeling like you’re not good or worthy enough → To believing that Allah ﷻ created you for Himself, with Love and Mercy, for a specific purpose.

None of this is theoretical.

It’s the practical roadmap I wish I had when I was struggling.

And now it’s the toolkit I pass on to my clients.

Here’s what some of my sweet clients have said about coaching with Care Nest:

“I am beyond grateful that Allah blessed me with getting help from Khadija because before then I was going through so much, that suicide was something I thought about. I felt misunderstood by the people most closest to me. And I wish you could see me now, I own the spaces I am in unapologetically.” – A.H. (Nigeria)

“Meeting with Khadija instantly felt like she heard me without explanation. This journey has really been transformative in more ways than I can comprehend. My time with Khadija has felt like an answered dua, Alhamdullilah. Khadija brings so much care, warmth and critical emotional intelligence to our sessions that makes me feel extremely comforted and motivates reflections that I wouldn’t have otherwise realised. I feel so so blessed to have crossed paths and would encourage anyone who is trying to form a healthy understanding of self to try this out.”
– E.T. (United Kingdom)

“Coaching was the best investment I’ve ever made in myself. Every session was meaningful and was filled with beautiful lessons to take away. The sessions have only recently ended but I am already seeing how what I have learnt is making huge changes in parts of my life that I did not expect to change.”
– S.K. (United Kingdom)
