Rayesa Gheewala is a divorce coach who works exclusively with Muslim women facing the painful crossroads of whether to stay in or leave their marriages. Her approach is grounded in Islamic principles — specifically Taqwa (God-consciousness) and Tawakkul (trust in Allah) — helping women reconnect with their fitrah, the innate wholeness they were created with, as the foundation for making clear, confident decisions.
Her path to coaching was shaped by her own high-conflict divorce after 17 years of marriage, followed by co-parenting struggles and the heartbreak of parental alienation. Before coaching, she practiced pharmacy for 20 years and raised three children. That combination of lived experience and professional discipline gives her work an unusual depth — she understands both the emotional rupture of divorce and the practical reality of rebuilding a life.
Rayesa helps clients identify the difference between personal wounds that are disrupting their relationships and genuine marital issues that need attention. Rather than telling women what to do, she guides them to find clarity from within. Her clients describe her style as firm and loving, action-oriented, and deeply spiritually grounding. She also runs a 12-week group mastermind for women navigating marital crossroads and a private coaching program for those rebuilding after divorce.

I didn't have clarity about what next steps to take. I was holding on to anger and resentment and my behaviors were reactive. But this journey has been so much more than that. I've learned what my core values are which I've never identified. I reconnected with my source, Allah. I've learned so much about myself and my own self sabotage. I feel like my mind is just less cluttered.”

Having a divorce coach who is well educated in not just Islamic and cultural values, but also in life experience and self-development, is able to comprehend what one goes through in the process and has clear objectives for you to work on, only enhances the process positively and accelerates growth after a traumatic life altering event. Rayesa is that coach and so much more.”

She never tells you what you should be doing or thinking, rather she empowers each individual to seek out the answers within themselves. Such a simple yet powerful concept that can be applied to any area of life! She's shown me the need to find the clarity and purpose in my thinking before I can set out to achieve my personal goals. She didn't merely give me tools for success, she's changed my entire outlook and mindset for life.”

You helped guide me in the direction I needed to go without making me feel like I need to decide on one thing and stick to it. Your active listening helped me hear myself and my thoughts and how I had so much negative self talk.”

Rayesa helped me realize that I was allowing others to control my thoughts and my emotions. She helped me realize that most of the self doubt was not coming from others, it was my own trained subconscious. She helped me realize that I should only work towards pleasing only my creator and once I realize that I must focus on my own path the obstacle coming my way may not be as difficult.”

The workshop had several self-reflection activities that forced me to envision my path ahead. I left with more of a personalized clarity on what is best for me, that didn't come from a lecture, but from exercises that forced me to define what is best for me. Overall, it was a calming, reassuring and clarifying experience.”

You helped me to focus on my intention and effort and detach my worth from the outcome because the outcome is not in my hands. Even though I am not divorced, I still take the opportunity to learn from you because I want to keep my marriage now.”
