HABIT CHANGE 

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

‘I used to delay getting things done and have been for more than 15 years. I got tired of it, decided to reach out to Umar and he helped me get rid of my bad habit. I’ve had to deal with procrastination since I have memory, but I realized it was really affecting me in both my personal and professional life for the last 2 years. I was trying to stop my procrastination but somehow I kept failing at it. Delaying getting things done was stopping me from reaching my highest potential by not getting work done specifically with regards to my coursework. After the first session with Umar, I started to see the new results in me. He helped me to realize that I can stop procrastinating and create better habits for myself. The second session was very interesting just by the way he managed to help me connect with my unconscious self. It was fascinating. Subsequently, I can say I no longer have the bad habit of procrastinating. This experience has impacted my life by knowing the power of the unconscious and the conscious self and how now I am able to control procrastination by doing the exercises Umar taught me. I highly recommend working with him. He is very friendly as well as professional.’ - Irasema Pantoja, 23, Entrepreneur, Texas, USA.

‘I have been putting off writing a business plan for over 6 months. After working with Umar, I now have clarity on what I need to do to get it completed and I have consistently worked on it for 1 hour per day for over a month now. This means I am now well on my way to completing the business plan which feels fantastic.

Before working with Umar, it felt impossible to find the time with all my current commitments and life always seemed to get in the way. Umar has helped me build strategies for structuring my evenings and early mornings so that I can make space for the 1 hour per day regardless of the different scenarios each day brings.

The sessions with Umar helped me discover a number of things about myself that were previously barriers to completing larger more complex tasks. Umar seems to have a sixth sense for finding his way to the root cause of issues and has been very patient in listening to my situation in order to diagnose where I can make changes.

Umar has the ability to put you at ease and help you see things very clearly. As well as removing barriers to success, his wealth of knowledge on wider health and personal development topics is very impressive and has contributed to really powerful and effective strategies for me

The impact of the work I have done with Umar is starting spread to other areas of my life too. I have started to get a grip on other projects at work and home that I have struggled to get off the ground. So, I certainly would not hesitate to recommend working with Umar to try and resolve any issues you may be facing!’ - A.L., 38, Entrepreneur, Rotherham, UK.

‘As a recent French and Spanish graduate from the University of Leeds, I have always made it a priority to maintain my language skills on a daily basis and maintain my passion for languages. However, amidst the Corona virus pandemic and being off work for an extended period of time, I found myself losing motivation and falling out of love with my daily habit of foreign language learning, fearing that I was going to slowly lose everything I had learned during my time at university.

However, after just a few sessions, Umar helped me to develop a clear schedule to follow which helped me to rekindle my love with my old habit and since then I have rarely missed a day of learning my languages.

Before having the sessions with Umar, I felt like I was a lost cause. Being forced off work put me in a state of unproductivity, and I thought the only way I would pick up my old habit was if I started working again which, which looked unlikely for the foreseeable future and by that point, I made have completely lost my interest all together. After hearing about Umar’s work and his offer to help me with my habit problem, it seemed like a no brainer to go ahead and see what it was all about, and it was a fantastic decision!

Umar is an absolute expert at his craft and it immediately shows once you begin the sessions with him. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is able to communicate various ideas in a manner that is very easy to understand, as well as being an excellent listener. He is very down to earth, and each session is as relaxed as the previous one. I always felt comfortable and reassured talking about private issues and Umar dealt with this sensitive information in a professional way and positively utilised this information to help construct a solid solution to the problem. Thanks to his fantastic work, I was able to identify the root cause of my problem and subsequently change my thought process so that the problem no longer became a hindrance to my daily life, but rather an important and fulfilling habit as part of a concise schedule that we formulated together.

I would highly recommend Umar to anybody! He is knowledgeable in so many areas and can offer fantastic advice and working approaches to different problems and life-based obstacles. His commitment to his work and compassion for others shines through in every session, and the results speak for themselves. Thank you for all the help.’

“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.”

“I had insomnia for six years before seeing Umar. It was hard to go to bed on time, fall asleep and also get out of bed in the mornings. After working with Umar these issues got resolved. I can now sleep on time, fall asleep easily and get out of bed in the mornings hassle free.

Before working with Umar I was frustrated as I wouldn’t be able get to bed at the right time despite wanting to. When I eventually did get to sleep (well after midnight!) I wouldn’t be able to sleep for anything from twenty minutes to one hour later. This meant I ended up sleeping very late and waking up feeling worse due to my lack of sleep caused by a late bedtime. This meant I was late all the time and it was having a massive impact on my education.

I decided to go ahead and work with Umar because I was stuck in negative thinking patterns and needed to change all this. Working with him was different as he helped me positively change my whole perception of myself, life and also helped me discover how unbalanced my lifestyle, health & sleep patterns were. This changed my life.

During the sessions Umar did various things to help including helping me make strategic changes to my diet, taught me about optimal sleep hygiene and ‘upgraded’ my overall mindset and awareness around the importance of healthy sleep and how to best practice it . Umar helped me uncover various limiting beliefs from childhood that were obstacles to having a healthier lifestyle and which helped improve my overall sleep quality for the better. In one session, Umar helped me change a limiting belief that removed my phone addiction habit I’d had on a regular basis before I slept. Umar also helped me design an effective pre sleep relaxation ritual that helps me fall asleep a lot easier than before on a regular basis now.

I had numerous aha moments during the sessions, especially through understanding where the causes of my limiting beliefs came from and better knowing how I could change my experience, as well as developing a deeper understanding of sleep science and the role nutrition plays in optimal sleep & overall health. He is a consummate professional and very friendly. He had a very relaxed and friendly approach when coaching me which made him very easy to talk to and enabled the sessions to flow quite naturally.

After working with Umar, I can now fall asleep on time, my overall physical health has improved and I also find it much easier to wake up in the morning to start my day. Consequently, I would highly recommend working with Umar as he helped me solve my sleep insomnia and he can do the same for you. You won’t regret it!
