Hiba Shakshir
I have spent the past eight years, after graduating from university, helping others find their own meaning of happiness and well-being. My years of practice in the field of wellness taught me very quickly that each person has a special meaning, and that my mission is to help them explore their potential without making any judgments.I enjoy helping individuals find their own rhythm and reminding them in their darkest moments that they are alone, and that they deserve happiness and a dignified life, regardless of their past or present circumstances.
