Who is Dr. Fairouz Mustafa?

I was born in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on December 10, 1989—a time marked by social and political turbulence, which many saw as the end of an era of prosperity and stability. In my view, it was no coincidence that my birth coincided with the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. From my earliest days, I faced profound challenges related to justice, growth, and empowerment, and I assumed healing roles during difficult years, alongside periods of abundance and generosity.
I grew up in a conservative, traditional family that valued education, discipline, and strong ethical principles. My childhood was a mix of both hardships and joyful memories, shared with my immediate family, neighborhood friends, visiting cousins, pets, and the playful energy of my toy-filled days.
As an only child during my first six years, I experienced feelings of discrimination, loneliness, and fear of rejection, without yet understanding the deep emotional impact these experiences would have on me. Despite this, I always viewed the world through a lens of kindness, beauty, and spirituality.
From a young age, traits of intelligence, uniqueness, and early emotional awareness began to emerge. Those around me often remarked that I seemed older than my years. When I entered school, my independence and advanced intellect became evident, and I consistently relied on critical thinking and reasoning rather than rote learning. At the same time, I developed a deep value for acceptance and love of others, regardless of their religious, social, or ethnic background.
At the age of eight, I lost my beloved grandfather, and grief filled my small world. Yet he left me fragrant memories of jasmine, love, and joy. This loss propelled me toward writing, and by the age of ten, I began crafting literary texts. My teachers recognized and encouraged my potential, and my writings—submitted to daily newspapers and shared on the school radio—were highly appreciated. This support drew attention from both my school and the wider community, surrounding me with opportunities to nurture my creativity through competitions, books, and open discussion spaces. This period was fundamental in forming my deep connection to the world of meaning and emotion.
As adolescence approached, existential questions began to surface, accompanied by silent anger and fear. Yet amidst this emotional darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged through cultivating my emotional skills, forming the first foundation for wisdom, reflection, and belief in human rights—beliefs that could only be realized through awareness, healing, and empowerment.
Despite academic excellence, a pivotal transformation at the age of fourteen brought a critical realization: striving for excellence was not merely a choice, but a life necessity. In the following years, I faced internal struggles related to vulnerability, uncertainty, and the search for truth and safety.
I began charting my own path when I enrolled in the Faculty of Information Technology, achieving a 91.8% admission score and creating a clear plan that made academic excellence both a path and a commitment. I maintained outstanding grades throughout my studies, even while working across multiple fields simultaneously, including training, achieving scores up to 95% across various stages.
After graduation, I joined a major banking institution, beginning my structured journey into finance, business, and technology—alongside my personal exploration of self-development and psychology. At the age of twenty-three, a profound internal shift led me to take serious steps toward coaching and awareness, encountering academic and professional opportunities that deepened my engagement in this field.
I later pursued a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Jordan, gaining crucial lessons in believing in my ability to achieve my goals. This accomplishment opened new doors, including launching my first official project. Graduating with honors encouraged me to advance to the next stage: a PhD.
On November 23, 2017, I faced another pivotal moment, entering a series of deep inner experiences known as the “dark night of the soul.” Over the following years, I continued progressing courageously, though often at the expense of my physical and mental health, as I focused on external success while neglecting my inner self. This pain ultimately led me to the banks of the River Thames in London, marking the beginning of a healing journey—like a rare jewel extracted from stone, or a black iris blooming with beauty in a barren desert.
I will never forget the defining moment on New Year’s Eve 2021 in Hyde Park, London, when I surrendered both my weakness and my strength to the Creator of the Universe, realizing that the journey extended far beyond my human self. This insight sparked intentions I could not yet imagine would lead me to write these words—and perhaps far beyond them.
By the end of 2022, I completed my PhD in just two years—the shortest allowable duration—publishing two papers in prestigious academic journals and presenting at multiple scientific conferences. In April 2023, I began a new chapter in Scotland, where I found greater space to nurture my creativity and expand my work. This period coincided with earning a second Master’s degree in Psychology, accreditation from the British Psychological Society, and advanced studies in holistic coaching and healing from renowned institutions in the UK, USA, Australia, Japan, Italy, UAE, and Egypt—laying a solid foundation for my professional and human journey.
Today, as I write these words, I find myself at an important milestone in my spiritual journey—a moment of leaving behind many painful chapters and tasting freedom. I consider my story long and filled with delicate and sensitive details, which I may one day share with you face-to-face or through the pages of a book I am writing. For now, however, I want to share with you that:

-
I became a certified psychologist and holistic practitioner at the age of thirty-five, after years of dedicated training and personal pursuit.
-
I am recognized as one of the most highly educated Arab trainers and aspire to be among the leading coaches in my field in the Arab world, with a global reach.
Today, I present myself to you as a businesswoman, certified psychologist, holistic practitioner, and life coach, on the path to becoming a spiritual mentor. I am filled with faith that my unique blend of awareness, empowerment, and healing—shaped by the extensive journey I have undertaken—is my true calling. Being all of this is not just a daily choice, but my authentic purpose: to guide those seeking the light toward connecting with the light of the world and its One Creator.
Thank you for being part of my journey. I hope we can share experiences together, as I support you in discovering pathways to growth, awareness, and healing—with love.
