Are you tired of feeling suffocated by anxiety and crushed by limiting beliefs? I understand the debilitating impact they can have on your life. Especially when rooted in trauma, overcoming these challenges can seem daunting.

I have experienced firsthand the transformative power of NLP coaching and embodied nervous system integration. These approaches have provided me with lasting results and continue to shape my journey.

Now, I want to share this transformation with you. As a coach, I have guided hundreds of women from around the world (South Africa, Zimbabwe, UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia) on their path to reclaiming their power. Together, we have tackled obstacles with the likes of:

  • Self-sabotaging patterns
  • Negative self-talk and self-esteem issues
  • Procrastination and lack of motivation
  • Difficulty in managing stress and overwhelm
  • Relationship challenges and patterns
  • Impulsive or reactive behaviours
  • Ineffective coping mechanisms
  • Boundaries and assertiveness issues
  • Perfectionism and fear of failure
  • Lack of self-care and self-compassion
  • Perfectionism and control issues
  • Recovery from abuse
  • Moving forward after infidelity
  • and much more

Coaching is a powerful alliance between coach and client, where YOU hold the ultimate power. I firmly believe that deep within, we all possess the answers to our own questions and challenges, even if they are temporarily obscured.

Using a tailored approach, I uncover and eliminate obstructive thinking and behavioural patterns, including those wired into your nervous system as a result of trauma. Additionally, I integrate lessons and healing approaches from the Sunnah and Qur’aan into our sessions for comprehensive support.

Together, we will under-take a solution-focused journey towards personal development, empowering you to make positive and lasting changes in your life.

By incorporating Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), we retrain your brain with healthier, productive, and positive thinking patterns. As a Master NLP practitioner, trauma-informed and nervous system integrative coach, I offer a holistic approach to your growth and well-being.

My commitment to ongoing learning ensures I continue to add value to my own life and the lives of my clients.

Now, I ask you: Are you ready to unlock the jewels of your mind and thrive? Join me on this transformative journey today!

Inner child healing

I feel like Alice in Wonderland

I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Jo'Hara Hassem as my coach. Under her guidance, I embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery and personal growth that has had a profound impact on my life.

Jo'Hara's expertise in inner child work, anxiety management, and cultivating self-awareness has been nothing short of remarkable. Her compassionate and empathetic approach created a safe space for me to explore and heal past wounds, allowing me to better understand and nurture my inner child. Through her guidance, I have learned invaluable techniques to address my anxieties and fears, enabling me to navigate life's challenges with newfound resilience.

Managing Negativity

Z.S

One of the most impactful aspects of our coaching journey was learning to manage negativity. Jo'Hara's insightful methods and practical tools empowered me to shift my perspective and embrace a more positive outlook. She provided me with personalized strategies to counter self-doubt and self-sabotage, leading me towards greater self-confidence and self-empowerment.

Trust myself again

A.W

Jo'Hara's guidance extended to helping me trust myself. Through thought-provoking discussions and exercises, she empowered me to listen to my inner voice and make decisions aligned with my true self. This has not only strengthened my sense of authenticity but has also empowered me to make choices that resonate deeply with my values and aspirations.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jo'Hara Hassem to anyone seeking profound personal growth and transformation. Her expertise, kindness, and dedication have played an integral role in my journey towards becoming a more empowered, self-aware, and a confident individual. Thank you, Jo'Hara, for being a guiding light on my path to self-discovery and empowerment.

Rebuilding and owning myself

Faeeza

Johara ❤️ Allah swt makes us cross paths with people for a reason and I am so glad you crossed mine. When we started our sessions I was at such a low point in my life, being in a relationship with a narcissist for over a decade, suffering with low self worth and just feeling like I have lost myself in the process. After a few sessions I felt like layers of baggage just started peeling off and I noticeably felt the change in my mindset over the 2 months of our sessions. Family and friends also noticed the change in me. I am still a work in progress and the tips and tools you have left me with help me navigate through any challenges thrown my way. May Allah swt give you the strength to continue helping people the way you have helped me.

Extraordinarily blessed and grateful our paths have crossed

Bright Beginnings

Having the wonderful opportunity of working with you and having you lend a helping hand as I took a walk into my past and faced the inner work required of me head on was definitely worth it. In this way InshaAllah I may heal and continue to only walk forward to what awaits me in the present. Alhamdulillah.

My passion for children has brought me to wanting to learn more about "healing the inner child".

I must acknowledge that what I've learnt in my sessions with you has really impacted the way I look at things going forward.

Jazak'Allah for being a part of my life's journey and being so inspiring, for listening and assisting me in creating a self awareness. For understanding and helping me to reflect as well as motivating me to a Bright Beginning towards my healing.
You truly are an astonishing soul that has made a positive difference to my life.

May your love, light and passion always shine through every person you work with.🤲

Grateful and blessed!

Johara today I am checking in…
Feeling grateful and blessed
I would like to tell the world a few words about this lovely, awesome being that I have crossed paths with.
Johara has not only been my life coach…she has been my pillar of strength, my walking diary
and my motivation.
Over the past few years I've been through tremendous events but shukr and thanks to Johara I've been able to deal with it in a way that I could have never dealt with before.
She's made me the strong women I am today. She's changed my view of everyday life…and all the struggles that goes with it.
One thing I've learned from her is that you cannot worry about things which are out of your control, you need to worry about the present moment and not about the "what ifs".
May Allah grant you the strength to touch and change many more lives in the way that you have done for me.

Feeling confident and positive!

Anonymous

Life’s trials got the better of me, I started feeling worthless and jaded, panic attacks and spikes of anxiety were becoming part of my daily life.
A family member referred me to Jo’hara and it’s been the most fulfilling experience for me, I’ve got confidence to deal with my trials using the tools I’ve learnt, following the notes I’ve captured in our sessions.
Feeling confident and positive thanks to Jo’hara.
Alhamdulillah.

A step towards the right direction

Zamil Hoosen

I was struggling with my mental l health when I came across Jo’Hara’s Instagram profile-Jewels of the Mind. I was really desperate for help so I decided to take the Diamond package of 8 sessions. I was very pleased with the results. Jo’Hara is a very easy person to talk to and she equipped me with some very useful tools to manage my mental health and ensure my mental wellbeing. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of emotional help.

Truly unlocking the Jewels of the Mind

Aya

I had such a transformational experience working with Jo’Hara. She unlocked a part of me that lay latent. A part of me that was buried in the reality of this dunyah. It now means I can journey through this life more authentically and with purpose. My goals and values are more clear, Alhamdulilah. Truly unlocking the jewels of the mind.

Grateful

Nat

Alhamdulilah I’m so grateful to have been put in touch with Johara. Her kind way, manner and attitude created a safe environment for me to comfortably proceed with our sessions. Our sessions really put a lot of things into perspective for me and showed me healthier alternatives for overcoming and managing stressful situations. As a young girl, Johara’s faith and her reminders of our Imaan was also an important part of our sessions and really put a lot of things into perspective. Overall, I found Johara’s sessions grounding and effective as I built a small mental toolbox to help me overcome everyday issues.

Educational and spiritually healing

Umme Yusuf

I started my healing journey with Sister Jo'hara at a time in my life where my self esteem and worth was so compromised due to my experience of domestic abuse in my marriage. Sister Jo'hara and I (during our sessions) worked on my negative emotions and assisted me with self supporting mechanisms to deal with both positive and negative emotions and Alhamdulliah my self esteem increased and I'm on the path to becoming the best version of myself .
Sessions with Jo'hara was so much fun, educational and spiritually healing as well.
Jo'hara accommodated all my needs during our sessions.
JazakAllah Jo'hara I'm so grateful to you

Wonderful lady and her energy is definitely contagious

Naseerah Jadwat

I always remember you in my duas. I learnt so much from our sessions.
You've opened my mind up to making many shifts mentally and emotionally.
Soo much has changed since our sessions.
I've really realized how strong I am and truly unstoppable

Breath of fresh air

Zaahida Joel

Working with Jo'hara was a breath of fresh air at a difficult time in my life when I felt like I was hitting a brick wall. She has such a positive and energetic outlook, helping you acknowledge your wins - like your own fun and bubbly personal cheerleader. Yet so gently, lovingly and subtly, steering you in a direction to notice your own shortfalls, like a caring mother - there is none of that "have to be cruel to be kind" treatment if that doesn't work for you! In this time I have learnt so many new tools to assess and be aware of certain behaviours, and I always leave my coaching sessions feeling closer to Allah subhaanahu wa ta'ala, more grateful and excited to be accountable to myself, and ready to make improvements in my life.

Life enhancing

SK

When Allah (swt) said "you come to me walking and I'll come to you running " ...that is exactly how my life has enhanced through the medium of life coaching

Alhamadulillah... A big Jazakallah khair to Johara!!!!

I found myself and my worth

Sabihah Adikary

Before meeting Johara, I refused to believe that I had worth because of years of bullying and me keeping myself in that headspace. Johara taught me to forgive myself so that I can realize my full potential.

You've helped me heal from past trauma

SKZN

My sessions with you have made me realise that past trauma does not have to define my life, and that healing is possible to achieve a greater and more fulfilling life.

You have helped me to discover that fear and anxiety are obstacles that can be overcome. I have gained tools to help me eradicate negative thinking and enhance my relationships. The personalised exercises, designed to heal from trauma, assisted me in releasing negative energy.

You have helped to navigate through emotional pain by being supportive and encouraging. You have guided me to know my self-worth thereby empowering me.

I particularly appreciated how you highlighted Islamic values, stories and recognition of gratitude to facilitate personal growth.

Jazakallah for making it possible for me to become a better version of myself. I wish you well in all of your endeavours.

Best 2 month investment

Tas. V

Jo'hara has been an absolute blessing in my life.
When I started the sessions with Jo'hara, my anxiety was at its worst. I can safely say that Alhamdullilah, after 2 months I finally feel like myself.
I've learnt more in these 2 months about myself then I ever have. Being a newly married 24 year old, life can be difficult to juggle with all the changes that come with marriage. Alhamdullilah, I finally feel like can I breathe again.

Inspiring and awakening

Shereen Vachiat

Truly an inspiring, awakening, self growth journey. Jo'hara has such positive energy that fills the air with light and happiness. Very interactive and lots of soul searching. I loved that lots of my questions were answered and I gained so many tools to deal with the daily stress of life. With these sessions, I was able to learn how to fill my own cup. Alhamdulillah Johara you are a remarkable woman. Keep inspiring.
