The essence of maktub

Meet Alysha, the founder and CEO of Maktub Wellness. She is a behavioural neuroscientist with a deep-rooted passion for understanding the intricate connection between the mind and body. Her journey began in 2011 with a fascination for neuropsychology—the study of how the brain and nervous system influence thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. She obtained her undergraduate degrees in psychology and kinesiology, concentration behavioural neuroscience. This scientific foundation led her to explore the mind-body connection more holistically, studying naturopathic medicine for 3 years. She eventually merged this knowledge with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, to create Maktub Wellness. 

'Maktub' is an Arabic word meaning 'it is written,' symbolizing the path to your destined highest self. As a highly experienced and educated wellness practitioner, Alysha is dedicated to guiding you through transformative practices to elevate your mind, body, and soul, helping you step fully into your purpose and potential at Maktub Wellness.

Alysha’s practice is built upon the belief that mental and physical health are inseparable. Drawing on her extensive training in neuroscience and the Ayurvedic wisdom passed down through her elders, she integrates transformative practices like meditation, breathwork, and yoga into her work. Rooted in both scientific research and the powerful practices of her ancestors, these methods have been shown to calm the nervous system, balance the body’s energy, and foster lasting mental well-being.

With a deep connection to her Indian roots and Middle Eastern essence, Alysha brings a unique fusion to her work at Maktub Wellness. She bridges modern science and ancestral healing, offering a space where ancient practices meet evidence-based neuroscience for profound transformation.

Alysha has practiced her work globally, introducing and implementing a mental wellness program at the Aga Khan Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, facilitating guided meditations in the Greater Vancouver Area in partnership with Cave Cure & Therapies, hosting retreats with Divine Touch Spa in South Surrey, and holding private beachfront wellness sessions in Tulum, Mexico. These experiences have allowed her to refine her expertise and offer premium wellness solutions.

Maktub Wellness isn’t just a brand; it’s Alysha’s personal mission to help you heal, reconnect with your true self, and embrace your full potential. With a foundation built on behavioral neuroscience, Ayurvedic practice, and a deep understanding of mind-body harmony, Alysha is here to guide you through a journey that is as scientifically grounded as it is spiritually enriching.
