Thoughtful Muslim Coaching is rooted in fitra-based personal growth, as described in the Quranic parable of the good word as a good tree (14:24-5).True spiritual wellness is living on our fitra, our original disposition. God created everything in goodness, including you and me. But, as we go through life, we can start forgetting our true self. Anxiety, depression, feeling lost and unfulfilled, all result from this self-alienation. Fortunately, to return to our fitra, we don’t have to learn anything new, we just have to remember who we once were.As your counselor and coach, my job is to walk alongside you, providing accountability and guidance to support your holistic personal development.Let’s journey together, inshallah. I’m ready to start when you are.God bless you and yours,Dr. Matthew Schumann
---“It is has been both an honor and a blessing to have had Imam Matthew as a counselor. Imam Matthew provided gentle and unwavering support with heartfelt sincerity and deep presence. He offered a rare and distinctive light of discernment and helped me to navigate a very challenging period in my life. With a method deeply rooted in Quranic principles, he helped dispel the haze of doubt and illusion, allowing me to see my path ahead more clearly. He understood and validated my fears, and invited me to courage. He affirmed and supported the choices that I was being called to make. Imam Matthew embodies a balance of compassion, openness, and an uncompromising commitment to truth. He is a pillar of knowledge and wisdom and I found him to be an excellent and trustworthy guide.” - Tamanna S.---
