About Sakina Holistic Practice
A culturally responsive, values-grounded coaching practice for young adults ready to do the inner work.
The Story of Sakina
Sakina was born from a simple but powerful belief, that every young person deserves a space to figure out who they are, where they’re going, and how their values fit into the life they’re building.
The name Sakina comes from the Arabic word for tranquility, stillness and peace of heart. It’s the feeling of being grounded in who you are, even when life feels uncertain. That’s what this practice is built around.
We created Sakina because that kind of grounded, values-driven support is hard to find, especially for young people navigating identity, faith, culture and personal growth at the same time. Sakina exists to be that space.

FOUNDER
Abdikarim Jimale MSW, RSW (Provisional)
I was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, and raised in Canada. As a Black Muslim professional, I bring a lived understanding of navigating identity, personal growth, and systemic challenges. My journey in social work and coaching is deeply rooted in a passion for empowering youth to thrive — emotionally, spiritually, and culturally.
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and am a Registered Social Worker (Provisional) with the Alberta College of Social Workers (ACSW) and have spent my career supporting young people through life transitions, identity work, and healing. At Sakina Holistic Practice, I integrate lived experience, professional expertise, and Islamic values to create a safe, grounded space for self-discovery and growth.
