Biography
Sameera Qureshi, MS OTR, is a trauma-informed occupational therapist and founder of Sexual Health for Muslims. She centers Islamic Psychology for therapeutic, educational, and program development frameworks aimed at Muslims and professionals who serve them.
“In this transformative and groundbreaking book, Sameera Qureshi offers a deeply spiritual, yet practical and comprehensive guide to sexual health in the life of a Muslim. Grounded in the rich Islamic tradition, this book equips readers with valuable tools to center God while navigating their sexual well-being. A true gift to the field, and a must-read for Muslims, clinicians, and anyone seeking a spiritually rooted and holistic approach to sexual health.”
Amal Killawi, LCSW, The Family & Youth Institute, USA
“In this innovative and important book, Sameera Qureshi dialectically unites Islamic traditions of the soul with our contemporary understanding of sexual health. This unification allows the reader to center their soul as a mandatory element for their sexual health, liberating them from the polarizations of repression and permissiveness. An extraordinary work!”
