From Cairo to the Cosmos
The story of how a corporate lawyer from conservative Egypt became a psychic medium in Berlin — and why your spirit guides led you here.
The life I built for everyone else
I was born in Cairo to a conservative Muslim family where the rules were clear: be a good daughter, get an education, marry well, have children, don't ask too many questions, and absolutely do not tell anyone about the voices you've been hearing since you were seven.
So I didn't.
I became everything I was supposed to be. I studied law. I graduated near the top of my class. I spent fifteen years as a contract lawyer in oil and gas — negotiating deals worth more money than most people will see in a lifetime. I was good at it. Really good. Reading between the lines, sensing what the other side wasn't saying, knowing when someone was lying before they finished their sentence. I thought that was just being perceptive.
It wasn't.
I got married because that's what you do. I became a mother because that's what comes next. I smiled at family gatherings and corporate dinners and pretended that the growing pressure inside my chest was just stress. Just the pace of life. Just what it feels like to be a woman in a man's industry in a culture that doesn't ask women what they want.
But the voice didn't stop. It just got louder.
"The universe doesn't whisper louder when you ignore it. It starts taking things away."
When spirit takes what you refuse to release
The marriage ended. Not gently — the way a building comes down when the foundation was never right. I found myself a single mother in Cairo, which in my world meant failure. Shame. Proof that I'd broken the contract my culture had written for me.
So I left. I packed what mattered and moved to Berlin — a city I'd never lived in, where I knew almost no one, where nobody knew the version of me I'd been performing for thirty years.
Berlin broke me open in ways Cairo never could. Not because it was cruel — because it was free. For the first time in my life, nobody was watching. Nobody was measuring me against expectations I never agreed to. And in that freedom, everything I'd been suppressing came flooding up.
The grief. The rage. The loneliness. The voices.
I entered what I now know to call the dark night of the soul — though at the time I just called it losing my mind. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I felt like the person I'd been was dying, and I didn't know who was going to replace her.
That's when I found plant medicine. And plant medicine found me.
“This work is not to bring you away from your 3D reality. It’s bringing the gifts from the other dimension into your 3D life.”
The night everything changed
I'm not going to romanticize what happened. Psychedelics didn't gently open a door. They detonated the walls I'd spent three decades building. Every identity I'd constructed — the good daughter, the respectable lawyer, the proper mother — dissolved in a single night.
And in the silence that followed, I heard them clearly for the first time.
Not the anxious whispers I'd been pushing away since childhood. Clear, distinct voices. My spirit guides — three of them — speaking with a specificity and warmth that left no room for doubt. They told me things about my life, my purpose, and my gifts that no therapist, no book, and no amount of self-reflection had ever revealed.
They told me I was a medium. That I had always been one. That every "gut feeling" I'd ever had, every time I'd known something I couldn't possibly know, every time I'd sensed what someone was thinking before they said it — that wasn't intuition. That was them. Trying to reach me through the walls I kept building.
I've written about the role plant medicine played in this awakening for those who want to understand that chapter more fully.
I didn't believe it at first. I was a lawyer. I dealt in evidence and contracts and provable facts. But then they started proving it.
"The first time I relayed a message from a client's deceased mother — her name, the song she used to sing, the detail about the kitchen that nobody else knew — I understood. This wasn't something I chose. This was something that chose me."
Building the life my soul chose
I trained. I studied. I practiced relentlessly — not because I needed to learn the gift, but because I needed to learn how to deliver it responsibly. There's a difference between hearing what spirit says and knowing how to relay it in a way that actually helps someone change their life.
Because that's the thing nobody tells you about mediumship: the message isn't the point. The transformation is the point. Your spirit guides aren't speaking to you because they want you to be impressed. They're speaking to you because they have a plan for your life and you're not following it.
I started seeing clients. Word spread. Not through marketing — through results. People would come for one reading, then send their sister, their best friend, their mother. My courses filled without a single ad. My practice group grew from four people in my living room to a devoted circle of developing mediums.
I charge €295 for a reading. I don't apologize for that. If you've ever paid a lawyer €300 an hour to review a contract, you know what expertise costs. The difference is that this contract is between you and your soul — and the stakes are considerably higher than any oil deal I ever negotiated.
What makes my practice different
No cards. No props. No trance.
I don't use tarot cards, crystals, pendulums, or any tools. I don't go into a trance or channel through automatic writing. I sit across from you — eyes open, fully present — and I hear your spirit guides directly. It's a conversation, not a performance.
Your guides. Not mine.
I work with my spirit guides and yours. When I do a reading, I'm hearing from the guides specifically assigned to your soul's journey. That's why the information is so specific — it's not generic spiritual wisdom. It's your contract, your path, your next move.
Specific direction. Not vague predictions.
I don't say 'I see change coming' or 'the universe has plans for you.' I say 'you need to have this conversation with your father before March' or 'the job offer coming in April is the wrong one — wait for June.' My clients come back because the specificity is undeniable.
Transformation, not transaction.
A reading with me isn't a one-time mystical experience you tell your friends about. It's the beginning of a transformation. I give you the message AND the direction. Then, through my courses and community, I teach you to hear your own guides — so you don't need me forever.
