A Community Interest Company · Est. 2019

A little leaf grew into a whole canopy.

Six years of culturally sensitive coaching, advocacy and community for British Muslims. What began as one woman’s idea of support that truly fits has become a growing movement — one conversation, one dinner table, one leaf at a time.

Our story

It started with one leaf.
Then came the canopy.

Leaf Coaching was founded by Aamna Khokhar in 2019. What began as a small CIC with a big conviction — that good support should fit real lives — has grown into coaching, workshops, advocacy and a community that keeps widening.
