From an early age, I was drawn to the world of natural healing. I became an expert in Hijama (cupping therapy) and mastered pressure point therapy. In 2000, I began my journey by learning pressure point therapy to help people find relief from pain without relying on medication. However, my path wasn’t easy. Many people dismissed my skills, mocking my dedication to healing, calling it unconventional and unnecessary.
But I refused to be discouraged. My mission was clear: to help people and ease their suffering. I practiced relentlessly, offering treatments for free to those in need, determined to prove the effectiveness of holistic healing. Over time, I expanded my knowledge, learning various healing therapies, all of which strengthened my belief in the power of nature-based healing. Despite the skepticism around me, I continued my journey with faith, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference in people’s lives.
Commitment to Continuous Learning
In 2003, I deepened my knowledge by completing the Holy Quran and an Islamic course, further strengthening my faith and purpose. I also pursued various courses in yoga, skincare, and alternative healing—even when people ridiculed me for my diverse interests. Despite their doubts, I stayed committed, believing that every new skill would help me serve others better.
Mastering Spiritual and Alternative Healing
Between 2014 and 2015, I became a Samda healer, focusing on spiritual healing to help people beyond physical ailments. This was a turning point—my treatments began to gain recognition, and I saw success in my healing work. Then, in 2016, I officially trained as a Hijama therapist, adding Sujok therapy, color therapy, and seed therapy to my expertise. My goal remained the same: to encourage people to turn to nature and holistic healing instead of relying on medications.
Two Decades of Dedication and Leadership
For the past 20 years, I have remained steadfast in my mission to promote natural healing and well-being. Through faith and perseverance, I have continued to refine my skills, offering relief to countless individuals through Hijama therapy, pressure point healing, and alternative treatments. Despite challenges and skepticism, my belief in holistic healing has grown stronger, inspiring me to keep learning and helping others.
My journey has been one of continuous exploration, delving deeper into the wisdom of traditional healing practices while integrating modern scientific insights. I have had the privilege of witnessing remarkable transformations—individuals regaining their vitality, overcoming chronic ailments, and rediscovering balance in their lives. Through education, workshops, and one-on-one sessions, I strive to spread awareness about the profound benefits of natural healing.
As the world increasingly turns to holistic wellness, I am committed to expanding my knowledge, embracing new methodologies, and guiding others toward a healthier, more harmonious way of living—one rooted in faith, nature, and the timeless principles of healing.
A Legacy in Education and Leadership
Alongside my healing journey, I have dedicated 22 years to the field of education, shaping the minds of future generations. As a master trainer for teachers and a principal in three schools, I have played a key role in enhancing the education system. My leadership has not only empowered educators but also fostered a positive learning environment for students, leaving a lasting impact on society.
Faith, Preaching, and Embracing the Digital World
The Journey Continues
Through challenges, criticism, and endless learning, I have never given up. My journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, faith, and the unwavering desire to help others. Whether through healing, teaching, or preaching, I remain committed to making a difference—one step at a time.
