Life changes.
So can we.
Some transitions arrive by choice. Others take us by surprise. Whether you're finding your way through change, letting go of what was, or exploring what could be, you don't have to have all the answers today.
Coaching offers a thoughtful space to listen to yourself, find clarity, and discover your own next steps.
Sessions available in English & Arabic
With a special welcome to newcomers, immigrants, and Arabic-speaking clients navigating change, finding a sense of belonging, or grieving the people, places, and familiar life they left behind. A space to honour what was while discovering what’s possible ahead.

My path changed.
My story kept unfolding.
For much of my life, beginning again was something life asked of me. Growing up in Lebanon during the war meant leaving homes, schools, and friendships behind. Yet through all that change, I held on to a simple dream: a loving home, a marriage, and a big family.
Years later, I came to Canada hoping to save my marriage. When it ended, I had to let go of the future I had imagined and find another way forward with my daughter. Building MAD DESIGN INTERIORS became part of rebuilding my life. I did not shy away from the challenges. They did not break me; they became steps toward the person I am today.
Through it all, something stayed with me: the wish to create warmth and connection. Clients, friends, and family often told me how comfortable they felt opening up to me. What I once thought was ordinary, I now recognise with pride as a gift: listening with care and creating space for people to express themselves freely.
Coaching brings that gift together with the lessons my life has taught me. I know how much it can mean to feel heard when the way ahead is uncertain. My hope is to offer you that space, where you can honour what you have lived, hear your own voice, and begin to imagine what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Every journey begins with a question. Here are a few answers to help you take your first step.
What is Life & Wellness Coaching?
Life & Wellness Coaching is a supportive partnership that helps you find clarity, reconnect with what matters to you, and explore new possibilities. It’s not about being told what to do; it’s a space to discover your own answers and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
How is coaching different from therapy or counselling?
Therapy often supports mental health and emotional healing. Coaching focuses on where you are now, what you want for yourself, and the steps you may choose to take next. We may reflect on the past, but our focus is on awareness, growth, and possibility. Coaching is not a substitute for therapy or mental health treatment.
What is Grief Coaching, and can it help with life transitions?
Grief can come with the loss of someone we love, but also with divorce, immigration, leaving home and family behind, or letting go of a life we once imagined. Grief Coaching offers a compassionate space to honour what has changed, find your footing, and explore what may be possible ahead. There is no timeline and no expectation to simply “move on.”
What can I expect from a coaching session?
You don’t need to arrive with a clear goal or all the answers. We begin with what’s on your mind, and through thoughtful questions and reflection, explore what matters most to you. You set the pace and choose your next steps.
Our conversations are confidential, except where disclosure is required by law or necessary to address serious safety concerns.
How do coaching sessions work?
Sessions are typically 45–60 minutes, often every two weeks, and take place online through Zoom. Coaching is available in English and Arabic, wherever you call home.
We can begin with a complimentary 15-minute discovery call to connect, answer your questions, and see whether coaching feels like the right fit.
