About Me and my Journey to Developing Al ASL Therapy. Al Asl Therapy is a mixture of coaching modalities: CBT, nutrition, life, academic etc… From a young age I started to gain academic and work experience in numerous areas such as: health care, sciences, pharma, academia, coaching and sports. I had a keen interest in sports and played netball through school and college, hence I had an early interest in health and wellbeing.  I graduated with a BSc in pharmaceutical sciences (UK). I was awarded with an award in analytical science. Prior to completing my degree I spent time working with special needs children where I was awarded an award from the mayor. I spent numerous months working as a teaching assistant at primary schools. During my degree I went to work in London at Glaxosmithkline (GSK) which is one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world. I completed my degree with a very high grade. I was awarded a full scholarship for a PhD in calorimetric study of beta sultams and beta lactams. I spent part of my time in the North of England and part of my time in the South of England. I worked part time at university in the laboratory. On completing my PhD i worked in regulatory affairs at Wyeth (south of England)  which is now merged with Pfizer. I gained experience within the pharmaceutical industry within regulatory affairs.

My experience at GSk and Wyeth/Pfizer involved regulatory affairs, CMC, CTD, MAAs, change control, pharma labelling (PILs), experience with MENA, EU and ROW markets, experienced with each countries MOH and BOH,  EDMF updates and specialized services across a broad range of therapeutic areas. GSK job role involved managing and co-ordinating General Export Packs for HIV, respiratory, neurology, cardio and oncology products. At Wyeth I was responsible for updating compliance documents which involved interacting with authors, taking into consideration CMC product timelines, supply and local BoH issues. Established links with regional and ROW markets (Middle East and North Africa (MENA), European, Asia Pacific, South America, North America, Australia, New Zealand. Discussed and proactively worked on EU/ROW labelling and module 3 requirements. Labels, EDMFs, old manufacturing documents and CTD documents were updated. My main objective was to liaise and work with each country’s BoH and conduct several teleconference meetings. All simple and complex objectives were met.

Eventually I settled down and after having children decided to tutor and work with different clients. Job roles included: Academic writing includes: dissertation assistance (PhD, MBA, DBA, BA, MSc and MA), paraphrasing and literature reviews. Medical writing included: medical research, scientific research, medical writing, regulatory affairs documents, healthcare articles, abstracts, magazine articles and publications. Provided consultative advice for a UAE government research project. Conducted in-depth research and contributed to government research documents. Academic projects I assisted on include: Neuropathic pain therapy, clinical pharmacy, molecular pharmacology and toxicology, diabetes care, antibiotics, antibacterial, drug side effects, bacterial resistance, drug metabolism, enzymes, drug mechanisms. Engineering solutions, mass relationships in chemical reactions, molar mass, molecular mass, formula mass, chemical formulas, chemical equations, yields.

Although I understood from a young age about mental health, exercise, nutrition and wellbeing I continued with academia and pharma until my children became very sick. This extremely upsetting and difficult time was the spark that started the development of a unique multifaceted Coaching program. After seeing multiple Dr’s globally the decision was made to see a naturopath. This then led me to researching different health conditions. I enrolled onto a nutrition and health course and a counselling course.  Eventually, my children were out on a long term healing protocol. Alhamdulillah, by the will of Allah the Almighty and his blessings the children healed.  As people came to know, I started a free health group. Accountability is a key factor in health. In 2016 I started developing a Coaching protocol. Although I started a multi faceted coaching program the results were reduction in medical and disease states. Post covid, there was an increase in mental health concerns. I embarked on learning about CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and became a practitioner in CBT. My studies and knowledge in CBT is ongoing.  Al Asl Therapy is a multi faceted coaching program. It involves different coaching techniques: CBT, life coaching, basic nutritional coaching, academic coaching, corporate coaching, Teen Coaching. I work with clients online.
