Sukaina Alibhai

Sukaina Alibhai doesn’t just help you discover your dreams—she ignites the spark that transforms them into your living truth. With over two decades mastering the art of personal evolution, Sukaina has revolutionized countless lives through her transformational coaching, immersive workshops, and soul-stirring retreats.

Her toolkit transcends conventional coaching—expertly navigating decision-making crossroads, dismantling destructive habits, shattering invisible barriers, and cultivating emotional intelligence that empowers clients to unleash their authentic power.

Driven by an insatiable curiosity about human potential, Sukaina has absorbed a rich tapestry of development methodologies. Her credentials include specialized training in Facilitation and Mentoring through NASIMCO and COEJ, alongside deep expertise in the Neuropsychology of Learning. Today, she travels across North America as NASIMCO’s premier facilitator for the prestigious Leadership in Development Programme.

Sukaina lives her philosophy of breaking boundaries. She conquered her fear of heights by leaping from planes, transformed her terror of deep waters into becoming a certified PADI diver, and tested her limits attempting to summit the legendary Mount Kilimanjaro—bringing authentic experience to her coaching practice.

Community service forms the backbone of her mission. As a youth counselor for Al-Muntadar Camps and facilitator for NASIMCO Youth Retreats, she shapes emerging leaders. For nearly 10 years she has co-led the annual JCC Toronto Amazing Race which draws over 100 participants into an exhilarating growth experience. In 2019, she co-led the transformative Az-Zahra Women’s Retreat, establishing a sanctuary for profound personal development and connection.

A global citizen who has immersed herself in over 50 countries, Sukaina recently spent two years embracing Portuguese culture and language—bringing worldly wisdom and cultural fluency to her practice.

What drives her? The electric moment when someone realizes their untapped potential and takes that first, decisive step toward transformation—a journey she’s ready to guide you through.

Fatema Dewji

Fatema’s life beautifully embodies the wisdom captured in the quote, “Increase my knowledge from the cradle to the grave,” attributed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Her journey is a profound testament to personal growth, not just for herself but also for those around her. She views both the challenges and blessings in life as powerful catalysts for growth, each one pushing her closer to her best self while maintaining a sense of humility and gratitude for every experience.

For Fatema, life is an ongoing process of self-discovery and evolution. Every step forward is a deeper exploration of our potential, and she believes that this journey is not a solitary one but a shared responsibility. Fatema encourages others to embrace a growth mindset, to nurture their unique abilities, and to strive for continuous self-improvement. She understands that true growth doesn’t happen overnight; it demands stepping out of our comfort zones, confronting challenges, and realizing there’s always more to learn.

As a mother of three, Fatema serves as a role model, inspiring her children to embark on their own personal growth journeys and constantly strive to become better versions of themselves. She firmly believes that working on ourselves has a ripple effect on our relationships. By enhancing our emotional intelligence, we can become better communicators, problem-solvers, and build stronger, more meaningful connections with those around us.

In her professional life, Fatema is deeply committed to empowering women through her role as a Sales Director with Mary Kay. Her passion for self-love, personal empowerment, and vision creation fuels her dedication to helping women enrich their lives. She fosters strong, authentic relationships with her clients while guiding her team members along their own growth journeys. Additionally, Fatema is skilled in facilitating workshops focused on Leadership and the Neuropsychology of Learning. She travels across North America with Nasimco to lead Leadership Development programs and has organized various workshops, including public speaking, communication and leadership for young women, and vision and purpose workshops. These initiatives help individuals uncover the deeper motivations behind their actions, empowering them to make impactful, positive changes in their lives.

What excites Fatema most is witnessing the transformation of others. The joy she experiences when individuals awaken to their true potential is a powerful source of fulfillment for her. By guiding others to discover their strengths and talents, Fatema helps them evolve into better versions of themselves. She is passionate about inspiring others to embrace their ability to shift, grow, and shine brightly in the world.

Fatema’s mission is clear: to live a life of continuous growth, learning, and self-improvement—one that not only transforms her but also positively impacts everyone she encounters. As she continues her personal growth journey, she remains deeply passionate about encouraging others to do the same. Through workshops, personal coaching, and her work with Nasimco, Fatema invites others to embark on their own paths of self-discovery, self-love, and empowerment, helping them lead more fulfilled, joyful, and impactful lives.
