Testimonials

Insight from those I’ve supported — across systems, stories, and seasons of life.

🧡 Doula & Caregiving Feedback

“I work in healthcare and my sibling was dying. I couldn’t be there. I contacted Zafira to help us find care during their final days and guide our family through their passing and grief. Zafira supported us with compassion, even holding their hand as they took their last breath. The grandchildren started calling her ‘Auntie’—a testament to the connection she created.”

— SJJ

“My grandmother, who has mid-stage Alzheimer’s, was living alone. Zafira helped us secure funding and transition her into a long-term care home, where she’s now thriving and has made friends. She’s active and comfortable—something that means the world to our family. Thank you, Zafira.”

— SJJ

“I attended a workshop with Zafira on Advanced Care Planning. While I’ve focused on caring for my husband, I hadn’t thought much about my own needs. Zafira helped me reflect on what matters and how to advocate more effectively for both of us, with an anti-racist and inclusive lens. She’s incredibly resourceful and truly seeks to help.”

— Dr. S

“Zafira was instrumental in helping my brother and our family navigate the long-term care system while we were out of the province. She provided consistent updates, screened facilities, and guided us through the intake and move-in process. Today, my brother is safe, settled, and well supported. We’re deeply grateful.”

— Dr. S

“Our family reached out to Zafira for support with eldercare transitions and in-home care. I especially appreciated her thoughtful guidance on Advanced Care Planning as I manage life changes for my aging parents (91 and 85). I’ve since recommended her services to others.”

Zafira Nanji Scott’s Ismaili-themed sensory activity workbook is a thoughtful and engaging resource that helps children connect with their faith through age-appropriate, interactive learning. Each page invites learners to reflect, observe, and respond in creative ways that support spiritual understanding and growth.

Beautifully designed and accessible, the workbook gently weaves key Ismaili concepts into sensory-rich tasks that encourage focus and curiosity. It’s a meaningful tool for parents and educators looking to nurture faith-based learning in childhood.
