I was born and raised in the Netherlands, with Moroccan roots. My life and work have been shaped by a curiosity about the deeper nature of who we are and a calling to support those who feel ready to meet their highest Self.

 

I am a trauma-informed Psycho-Spiritual Therapist, with specialisations in applied Polyvagal Theory and Integrative Somatic Therapy. My professional journey has also included training and certifications as a Reiki Master, Pranic Healer, PSYCH-K® Facilitator, Sound Healer, Breathwork Practitioner and Counsellor. Over the years, I have explored and integrated these experiences into the work I offer today.

 

Having lived in different parts of the world, I have encountered diverse cultures and traditions that have shaped how I see life and healing. These experiences have taught me to value different perspectives and have shaped an approach that brings East and West together. I see scientific understanding and spiritual wisdom as complementary, each offering valuable insights into who we are and how we heal. Dubai is now home.

​

I believe many challenges we experience are shaped by thoughts, beliefs and patterns we have come to identify with. Formed through our experiences, they can influence how we see ourselves and move through life, even though they were never the truth of who we are.

​

My intention is to create a space where people feel safe, seen and supported as they explore their inner world and reconnect with their authentic Self. 

 

The name Dounia means “World” (or “The Worldly Life”). It reflects our interconnectedness. When one person reconnects with their wholeness, that change can ripple outward through their relationships and the way they meet the world. 

​

This is what I hope to nurture through Dounia Healing: a space for people to reconnect with their innate strength and potential, and to bring that wholeness into their lives and the lives they touch. I aspire to contribute to the healing of the world, one person at a time.
