​

Journey Within believe every woman holds a wisdom and intuition in her being. However, in a society where we are socialised to serve and nurture others first, we can become disconnected from this thread of wisdom and forget that we also need to pour the same nurturing into our physical, psychological and spiritual self.

 

This is why I offer women with nurturing and nourishing spaces to be heard, be seen, cultivate the foundations of wellbeing by establishing a mindful practise of self regulation & self compassion. 

​

​

Whole women create authentic, deeply intimate and nourishing connections with their family, friends and community.

 

​

 

Journey Within offers therapeutic services for women in warm and nurturing spaces.

Salaam! My name is Suad, a warm welcome to Journey Within. Journey Within is a passion project brought to life during a sabbatical break from my Housing sector job in 2019.

Journey Within was born from my own experience of being held, affirmed and supported by circles of women in retreats, sharing circles and years of therapy.  
In those circles and spaces, I began a journey back into my own body, to nurture my inner child and strengthen an inner compassionate nurturer.  Really tuning into my inner voice, allowed me to meet my most tender self, to embody self compassion, unconditional care and patience. 

Alongside my experience of healing and nurturing, I was aware of being the 'only one';  the only black woman and/or  the only Muslim woman.  I know, just like me,  women of colour need safe spaces to BE, heal and grow with other women without the need to explain, educate or police their language. My intention is for Journey Within to be an accessible space for all women of colour to bring their whole self. 

Peace and blessings to you, 

Suad
