Hi, I’m Manal,

I’m a certified life coach, author, and artist who works with women over 40 who are ready to make more room for themselves and what they want in their lives.

I understand many of the women I work with because I’ve been there, too.

Like many women, I’ve had many roles in my life: wife, mother of three, daughter of aging parents, corporate professional, business owner, friend, and mentor. For years, I balanced building a career, raising a family, caring for the people I loved, and doing what needed to be done.

I have a good life. I’m proud of what I’ve built and deeply grateful for the people in it. But at some point, I realized I had spent so much time thinking about what everyone else needed that I had stopped asking myself a very simple question:

What do I want?

I didn’t need a different life. I needed to make room for myself in the life I already had.

That realization eventually led me to coaching and to work I genuinely love. It also taught me something I bring to every woman I work with: wanting something for yourself doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful for what you already have.

Sometimes it simply means you’re ready to listen to yourself again.

Today, that’s what I help women do: get clearer about what they want, trust themselves more, and begin taking meaningful steps toward a future that makes them happy.

When I'm not coaching, you can usually find me painting, practicing yoga, taking a spin class, cooking authentic Egyptian food, or simply enjoying a good book.

My Free-time Passion

When I'm not coaching, you'll often find me painting, a practice that brings me peace, creativity, and perspective.
