universal truth

The founder of Universal Truth, Nyla Khan, was forced to marry and subsequently desensitised from her own feelings for over 15 years. Her story is more than the typical narrative of being taken to Pakistan and forced into a marriage - she is a woman who cannot be put into a box no matter how hard family members and communities may try, about being disowned by her family and suffering abuse and community coercion from her own community. She has conquered every block that has been put in her way and now feels that her purpose in life is to demonstrate that all women can follow the same path. Nyla’s spiritual awakening has healed herself and presented her life’s purpose which is to gain the correct knowledge and experience to share her story and start Universal Truth so to be a role model that most ethnic minority women don’t have or can use more of – a successful and independent woman who surpassed tradition and limitations that were placed on her by archaic cultural conditions which resulted in community isolation tactics and silence in the name of honour. Nyla went from feeling like a failed unworthy daughter to the knowledge that she is just a soul who was made in the light of God. There is no box in which she belongs, she is a soul that was born to be free learning hard lessons. With so much fear instilled in victims, Nyla and Universal Truth bring a unique spiritual approach to these women. Through Universal Truth, Nyla seeks to break a cycle, to lead, to teach and heal others through her wisdom - as through her journey, she now lives a life of self-expression and truth - a birth right which belongs to all of us. Bringing Universal Truth to life is a path to support and inspire not only all the women of colour who are wanting to defy all odds but need strength and inspiration to do so, but also to inspire women from any background who have suffered similar trauma to give them hope and the courage to be loud and speak their truths. We understand that society’s structures and systems must embrace change in order for change to be effective and sustainable. That is why Universal Truth's focus is strongly dedicated to leading policy changes so that ethnic minorities are systemically supported and protected.

As a previous serial dieter, I understand how much you want to change but with so much conflicting information, it’s hard to know how to succeed in that change. I have always had a love of fitness, but it wasn’t until I had my son, Daniel, that I decided to make it my career. After having Daniel, my body changed in ways I didn’t understand, I felt like a completely different person which is why I specialise in women’s health and postnatal fitness. I KNOW through my own experience that exercise makes your head clearer, your mood better, your body tougher and gives you a drive to push through life’s tougher challenges. I had tried everything to get to a point where I felt confident and strong in my own mind and body. You don’t have to waste another minute as I have made it my mission to fast track your health and fitness by delivering structured programmes to help you understand and easily fit this into your lifestyle to finally start prioritising you. Why Listen to Me? 1 I have helped 100’s of women feel like themselves again through implementing small changes that are easy to fit into even the busiest of lives. 2 I specialise in post-natal corrective exercise. This can be anything from abdominal separation, prolapse or weak/underactive glutes (mum bum, or post pregnancy lack of bum). 3 I am there with you every step of the way, your cheerleader, your accountability partner and your mentor. 4 Advice is always changing in the health and fitness world, I stay up to date on new guidance and studies to make sure you are receiving the best service. 5 I have been there, I get it and I understand how intimidating change is.

We usually meet at the URC Hall on Duke Street, just off the foot of Leith Walk and Easter Road. We sometimes go to other venues for specific events.

mindful monkeys

Confident kids, connected families, curious minds. Training and support for children and parents. My Background is in Financial Services, having worked in many roles including Risk, Training and Coaching Senior Management. Even though these jobs allowed me the freedom that a good income affords, something was missing. So, I took the opportunity of redundancy in 2013 and took a leap of faith into a brand new career. Leaving All That Behind, I embarked on a journey of true self discovery training in NLP, Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching with a real desire to help women who were just like me and ready to make that leap away from the limitations of the life they had been living. Little did I know the universe had other plans for me…… I Can Tell You that leaving behind the security of a corporate environment having been cocooned there for 30 years certainly allows you to really feel what you are made of underneath all that polished corporate veneer!
