CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“As a busy graduate student in the trenches of biomedical research, prioritizing academics while balancing the extracurricular activities that keep me grounded are of great importance. Previous advisors had suggested to give up creative outlets in the pursuit of medicine, in order to find success in the field. Conflicted with giving up one of my passions, I sought help from Umar on how to optimize my approaches. My goal was to strengthen the mind and its capacity to handle a variety of demanding graduate-level subjects, build on memory integration, speed reading, and recall. Using a blend of coaching strategies, Umar was able to tailor methods that improved my concentration and focus for long periods of time (a three-fold improvement!) required for heavy academic work, whilst also helping me maintain the integrity of my creative side. After one working session, I saw immediate results with a newfound ease in crushing career goals with precision, thanks to his coaching methods. Umar's multi-domain expertise spans a deep command of applied psychology, neuro-linguistic programming, and Beckham-like finesse in championing efficiency in the workplace. By identifying productivity "time sinks" in my daily operations, he has helped to boost my energy and stamina necessary to perform at my best in marathon working sessions. This increased capacity for high-level concentration has allowed me to accomplish more of my academic goals in a single workday. I am grateful, as Umar has been pivotal in driving my personal growth and sharpening my acumen for resource management to the next level. Growing up among physicians, Umar understands the lifestyle and challenges that future doctors-in-training may face. He is a gifted communicator with the ability to work with people of different backgrounds, across all walks of life. I am impressed by his focus, commitment, and dedication to functional wellness, so that his clients can experience the tangible changes that they are seeking to better their lives. If you have the opportunity to connect with Umar and tap into the compassionate and visionary mind of this human being, you're in luck! Give him the chance to provide you with evidence-based techniques, show you how to overcome habits that set you back, and once you are ready, lean into your gifts and unlock your true potential.” - Katherine Leviste, 30, Research Fellow.

“For a lot of years, I have had problems with procrastination, and also with being able to read and finish a book without losing interest and thinking that it will take me too long to finish. Since working with Umar, he has helped me uncover the underlying reasons behind these bad habits to then change how I view reading and how I can reduce procrastination which in turn has created more productivity in my days. For someone who has had issues finishing a book for close to 15 years, I have since finished reading 2 books inside 4 weeks with the help and guidance of Umar. We have also worked to tweak my daily routine in the way of ensuring I get a certain amount of sleep each night and also different techniques to help me throughout the day when I feel like I am beginning to lose focus to ensure I get most/everything done that I planned to do in a day.

I have never done anything like this before so I was a little hesitant at first, but after a few messages back and forth and a phone call, I jumped at the opportunity to work with Umar as I felt how passionate he was about it and how knowledgeable he was with regards to this type of work.

What I liked about the process of working with Umar was how empathetic and friendly he was on the sessions. You aren’t just starting straight into everything at the start of the session, Umar creates a friendly feel to the session by showing an interest in how you have been and what you have been getting up to which also helped me feel more relaxed. Umar also has a wide range of techniques to cater for anyone’s needs so if you try something that doesn’t work, well then Umar will have another technique to try until you find one that works for you which I found really great.

The impact these sessions have had on my life has been huge. I feel confident when I pick up a book and read through the book with ease, without conflicting thoughts. I procrastinate a lot less and my productivity has increased massively, due to ensuring I get proper rest according to what I feel is necessary and using the various techniques throughout the day. I have also have been learning a new language which I was struggling to do previously (due to not being consistent) which I now do every single day. I am also a currency trader which as you can imagine with being much more productive with my time, my knowledge of the markets are increasing at a much faster rate and it has helped alter my mindset to align with how I need to think.

I would highly recommend Umar to anyone who feels that they have bad habits that they would like to work on. Not only will Umar help you with techniques on how to change these bad habits, he also changes the way you think about these and irons out any conflicting thoughts which I think is a key component in obtaining longevity with your new habits.”
