Each of us embarks on a unique life journey. Some on their journey may require special attention and support for healing and growth. Fortunately, there are many tools and resources available to support us in this process. Tools such as allopathic medicine, Chinese medicine and accupuncture, ayervedic medicine, energy healing, Chinese accupuncture, chiropractic care, Western mental health therapy modalities and so on.

Spiritual healing through the Sufi Shadhiliyya healing method fosters a deeper connection with oneself and one’s Higher Power, however that is defined. By cultivating this clearer connection, healing can unfold naturally and organically.

Healer &

Healing Modality

I am Mariam-Saba Ahmad, a practitioner trained in Prophetic Traditional Healing techniques, an Islamic healing modality deeply rooted in the Shadhiliyya tariqa in the United States. This practice has been a cherished part of my family’s heritage for generations. I have gained my training at the University of Spiritual Healing and Sufism, as well as the Institute of Spiritual Healing. The curriculum was developed under the esteemed guidance of Sidi, Shaykh Muhammad Sa'id al-Jamal ar-Rifa'i as-Shadhuli.

As a healer on this spiritual path, my ultimate goal is to help clients reconnect with the Unity, whatever name they may use—Source, Allah, God, Holy Father, the Un-Named, or Higher Power. Illness can manifest in various ways:

  • Emotional: trauma, neglect, abuse, family dysfunction, codependency

  • Spiritual: addictions, recurring life patterns, lineage issues

  • Physical: acute, chronic, or terminal illnesses

These challenges often indicate a disconnection from the Divine. My mission is to support clients in navigating these pivotal moments and guide them back to a place of authentic connection, fostering their journey toward health and wellness.

I invite you to explore how we can work together to restore this vital connection. Please consider booking a 15-minute call with me below, to discuss your unique path to healing.

 
 

Spiritual healing is often misunderstood, and I want to take a moment to clarify what it truly involves. At its core, spiritual healing focuses on restoring balance and harmony within the individual by addressing not just physical ailments but emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being. Here are some key points to consider:

  • Holistic Approach: Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses primarily on symptoms, spiritual healing takes a holistic approach. It recognizes that our emotional and spiritual health can significantly impact our physical well-being. By exploring these interconnected areas, we aim for a more comprehensive healing experience.

  • Personalized Experience: Each healing journey is unique. I tailor my methods to meet your specific needs, drawing from various practices to find what best resonates with you. This personalized approach allows for a deeper connection and understanding of your individual experience.

  • Empowerment Through Connection: Spiritual healing encourages individuals to connect with their inner selves and a higher power, fostering a sense of empowerment and agency in their healing journey. It’s about supporting you in finding your own path toward healing and transformation.

  • Proven Benefits: Many clients have experienced profound benefits from spiritual healing, including reduced anxiety, improved emotional resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose and clarity. While results can vary, the positive transformations reported by many highlight the effectiveness of this approach.

  • Open Dialogue: If you have any questions or concerns about spiritual healing, I encourage an open dialogue. It’s important to me that you feel informed and comfortable as we explore this path together.

By understanding what spiritual healing entails and how it can benefit you, I hope to alleviate any misconceptions and foster a sense of trust and curiosity about the healing process.

What Is Spiritual Healing?


Who Can it Help?

This type of healing can benefit anyone experiencing disturbances in their well-being. I specialize in supporting clients with chronic illness, addiction, trauma, and relationship challenges. If you're feeling out of balance or disconnected from your true self, this approach can help guide you back to a state of harmony.

Additionally, I am connected to a network of skilled and experienced healers. If you feel that my approach may not be the best fit for your specific needs, I’m more than happy to help connect you with someone who can better support you on your healing journey.


Does This Really Work?

This methodology has supported countless individuals for centuries, long before allopathic (or “modern”) medicine was as advanced as it is today. While allopathic medicine excels in treating acute medical crises, it can be less effective for managing many chronic illnesses. Although this field is evolving, it often prioritizes health management over finding cures, given our current understanding and technological limitations.

In the meantime, how can those in need find effective help? Spiritual Healing is a valuable option among many modalities available today. For instance, Chinese Medicine teaches that imbalances in our Chi can lead to certain illnesses over decades. In this approach, we explore spiritual blockages that may contribute to dis-ease, including chronic patterns and mental health challenges.

Numerous studies and anecdotal evidence support the efficacy of spiritual and holistic healing practices, demonstrating their positive impact on well-being. Many of my clients have shared transformative experiences, emphasizing the benefits of integrating spiritual healing with conventional treatments.

From my own experiences and those I’ve assisted, I’ve found that complicated illnesses often respond best to a multi-faceted approach to healing. Spiritual Healing empowers individuals to take an active role in their recovery, providing immediate support and spiritual coping strategies when needed. It is a powerful tool that has proven effective in many cases, helping individuals reclaim their health, well-being and return them to living the life they desire to have.


Finding the right healer is essential, and you may wonder if my approach aligns with your beliefs and specific needs. I want to assure you that my practice welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and belief systems.

For this method of healing to be effective, it requires a belief in something greater than oneself—a higher power that has your best interests at heart. You don’t need to have a complete understanding or a solid definition of what that higher power is. Sometimes, the healing journey involves shifting from wanting to believe in the Divine to actually embracing that belief.

I take a personalized approach to healing, tailoring my methods to suit each client's unique journey. I encourage open dialogue, so please feel free to share your thoughts, beliefs, and any concerns during our initial call. My role is to listen and understand your specific needs, ensuring that our work together resonates with you before any financial commitment is made.

I believe that healing is an active conversation between the client and the Divine, which is why it’s crucial that your perspective and cultural or religious background are respected throughout this process. Many clients from various backgrounds have found value in my approach, and I look forward to exploring how I can support you on your healing path.

Is This Approach Right for Me?


I understand that concerns about confidentiality can be a significant factor when considering healing. I want to assure you that your privacy is my top priority, and I take several important steps to protect your personal information:

  • Secure Record-Keeping: I take notes during our sessions, but these are stored securely in a locked metal file cabinet. This ensures that your information remains protected and confidential.

  • Confidentiality in Communication: I do not discuss private client information with anyone. If I seek guidance or support, I do so without using any identifying details about you or your situation.

  • Private Meetings: All meetings are strictly between you and me. I take additional measures to ensure that our discussions are private and secure.

  • Discretion in Client Relationships: I do not disclose to anyone that you are my client. Your participation in this healing journey remains entirely confidential.

I believe that feeling safe is essential for effective healing. One of the ways I foster this sense of safety is by rigorously protecting your privacy and confidentiality. If you have any questions or concerns about privacy, please feel free to bring them up during our initial call. I am here to support you every step of the way.

What about Privacy?


Many of us lead busy lives, and committing time to a healing process can feel daunting. My goal is to make this journey as accessible and manageable as possible for you.

  • Ease of Scheduling: I offer online scheduling to accommodate your availability, making it easy to find a time that works for you.

  • Session Commitments: Our sessions typically last an hour. While I encourage regular meetings for the best results, we will adjust the frequency of sessions to fit your schedule and healing needs.

  • Short-Term and Long-Term Options: Healing is a personal journey, and I respect your time commitment. Whether you seek a few focused sessions or a longer-term engagement, we can design a plan that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.

  • Ongoing Support: I’m here to provide support between sessions as well, whether through resources or brief check-ins, to ensure you feel supported throughout your healing journey.

Your well-being is my priority, and I want to ensure that your healing process fits comfortably within life. If you have any concerns about time commitment or scheduling, please feel free to discuss them during our initial call. Together, we can find a solution that works for you.

What is the Time Commitment for Healing?


I understand that considering the financial aspect of healing can be a significant concern. It’s not uncommon to encounter feelings of doubt or hesitation, which can sometimes stem from deeper spiritual challenges. My goal is to make this journey as accessible as possible while respecting your budget.

  • Transparent Pricing: I offer clear and upfront pricing for all sessions, so you know what to expect without any surprises.

  • Payment Policy: To secure your appointment, payment is required prior to the session. This helps ensure that our time together is reserved exclusively for you.

  • Value of Investment: I believe that investing in your well-being is one of the most important decisions you can make. Many clients have found that the benefits of healing far outweigh the costs, leading to profound personal transformation and improved quality of life.

It's important to acknowledge that feelings of resistance can arise, often whispering doubts about taking this step. I encourage you to listen to your heart and intuition as you consider this journey, recognizing that seeking help is a courageous and vital part of healing.

Your well-being is my priority, and I want to ensure that your healing journey is as comfortable and accessible as possible. If you have any questions or concerns about financial commitment, please feel free to discuss them during our initial call. Together, we can find a solution that works for you.

What Should I Know About Financial Commitment?


It's completely natural to feel apprehensive about the changes that healing may bring to your life. Many people experience a sense of fear when considering the possibility of confronting difficult emotions or altering long-established routines. Here’s how we can approach this together:

  • Acknowledgment of Feelings: Recognizing that change can be challenging is an important first step. It's okay to feel uncertain or fearful; these emotions are part of the human experience.

  • Empowerment Through Choice: Remember that you are in control of your healing journey. You set the pace and choose what aspects of your life you want to explore. My role is to support you in navigating these changes, ensuring that you feel empowered throughout the process.

  • Supportive Environment: I prioritize creating a safe and compassionate space for our sessions, where you can explore your feelings without judgment. We’ll work together to address any concerns that arise, making sure you feel supported as you confront and process difficult emotions.

  • Focus on Growth: While change can be uncomfortable, it often leads to personal growth and transformation. Many clients find that by facing their fears, they uncover new strengths and insights that enhance their quality of life.

  • Small Steps: We can take this journey one step at a time. If there are specific changes you’re worried about, we can discuss them openly and create a plan that feels manageable for you.

Ultimately, the goal of healing is to help you cultivate a more fulfilling and authentic life. I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you navigate the journey with compassion and understanding.

What if I Don’t Like Change?


Reaching out for help can be daunting, and sharing personal struggles may feel vulnerable. Please know that these feelings are completely normal; many people experience similar emotions when considering healing.

In our sessions, I prioritize creating a safe and confidential space where you can express yourself without fear of judgment. A sense of safety is vital for effective healing. You don’t need to have all the answers or a clear idea of what to say. My role is to guide you through the conversation, helping you articulate your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

Addressing the spiritual aspect of your healing journey can feel overwhelming, and you might have questions about what to expect during our initial call. Here’s what you can anticipate:

  • Introduction and Overview: We’ll begin with a brief introduction about myself, followed by an invitation for you to share a bit about your healing journey. This is your opportunity to express any concerns or goals you have, and I’m here to listen and support you as we explore your path together.

  • Exploration of Needs: I’ll guide you in exploring your specific needs and challenges. This conversation is meant to be a safe space where you can openly share without judgment.

  • Discussion of Healing Approaches: I will explain my approach to healing and how it can be tailored to suit your unique journey. This will give you insight into the methods we may use together.

  • Questions and Answers: You’ll have the chance to ask any questions you may have about the healing process, session structure, or anything else that’s on your mind.

  • Next Steps: By the end of our call, we will discuss the next steps, whether that involves scheduling future sessions or exploring additional resources.

My aim is to ensure you feel supported and informed as we embark on this journey together. If you have any uncertainties or concerns, please don’t hesitate to bring them up during our conversation.

Remember, this initial call is simply an opportunity to explore your concerns and see if we resonate together. There’s no pressure to commit to anything beyond that. I’m here to support you on your journey, and I look forward to navigating this process with you, with compassion and understanding.

Testimonials

“Through my connection to Mariam-Saba, I am coming to a deeper, gentler, and stronger understanding of my higher power and my worthiness. I’m learning how to learn from my experiences, release perfectionism and shame, and trust the unfolding. Because of her humble yet fierce anchor to Allah, Mariam-Saba brings grounding and light to my life. I am confident in her growing influence in the world.”

Isabel Call


“I've been curious about getting a spiritual healing session with Mariam-Saba for some time, and I finally decided to try it out. The session was full of unexpected turns and visualizations. I went to space, saw myself as a three-year-old, and experienced energetic forces in a way I hadn't before. I learned a lot and was also a little scared at times. That's when Mariam-Saba's guidance became instrumental. She could tell how much I could handle and protected me when I needed it. Her expertise is evident, as well as her intuition. She knew how to connect what I was struggling with to the familial, the spiritual, and the physical. I received some answers from the session regarding why I was feeling anxiety in certain situations. I also received a key mantra to tell myself, which I'm applying to many aspects of my life. Additionally, I gained some insight into the causes of an ongoing physical problem that I know will require further attention. I would definitely recommend seeing Mariam-Saba for a spiritual healing session!”

Abby L.


“I always feel extremely safe and willing to go to the deepest places in my healing work, because Mariam-Saba has more integrity than any healer I've ever worked with (and I've worked with some big names!). My regular appointments with her for spiritual healing have changed my life in dramatic ways. I could not possibly recommend her more highly.”
