In a world full of vague promises and “quick-fix” spirituality, Shanaaz Aboobakeris rewriting the rules. With a background in IT, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology, she brings logic, structure, and measurable results to spiritual entrepreneurship. Shanaaz doesn’t just talk about energy—she teaches women how to understand it, harness it, and transform it into real-world success. From helping clients manifest their goals to pioneering a new wave of evidence-based spiritual empowerment in London, her approach is practical, powerful, and profoundly effective.
“Spiritual entrepreneurship isn’t vague—it’s energy transformed into measurable results through strategy, psychology, and intuition.”
How does your background in IT influence your approach to spiritual entrepreneurship?
IT trained me to think in systems and solutions. I bring the same structure into spiritual work. I simplify complex ideas, build processes that scale and measure results. My background keeps the work grounded, practical, results driven and effective.
What inspired you to merge science, psychology, and spirituality in your work?
Women want results they can feel and understand. I saw that spirituality alone left too many gaps. Science and psychology fill those gaps with clarity and evidence based understanding. Blending them makes transformation accessible instead of abstract and confusing
Can you share a story where your spiritual insights directly impacted someone’s life?
A woman came to me frustrated because she had tried every manifestation method online. She’s paid thousands of dollars in courses. Everyone seems to say these things but not give an actual process of implementing and integrating the knowledge. She kept hearing that money is energy and not real, which is actually very misleading. The industry oversimplifies things and pushes ideas that confuse people. I’ve witnessed many women go into spiritual psychosis in spiritual communities so I have a lot of experience and knowledge around this.
I explained a simple truth from the law of thermodynamics. Everything is energy, Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transmuted. We are not creating or co-creating anything out of thin air. We are directing and reshaping what already exists. That insight clicked for her. She applied my complete formula with this understanding and saw results in one month. She told me it was the first time manifestation made logical sense and actually worked. She said it’s the first time she received actual steps and a process to get from point a to her desired result.
How do you stay innovative while working within a niche like spiritual empowerment?
I study behavior, not trends. My degree in neuroscience and behavioral psychology definitely helps me understand people better. I track how women make decisions and what blocks their confidence. I am someone who enjoys having conversations and really listening to women, their needs, challenges, complaints, etc
Innovation comes from solving real problems with new frameworks, not repeating recycled spiritual language. I keep evolving because I refuse to get comfortable. I love receiving critical feedback which allows me to innovate and improve my work and services.
What role does mentorship play in your business and personal development?
Mentorship keeps me disciplined and productive. I invest in people who challenge my thinking and give me honest feedback. It helps me avoid blind spots and stay focused on leadership, not survival mode.
How do you see the future of women-led spiritual entrepreneurship evolving in London?
London is primed for grounded, evidence-based spiritual work. Women are demanding autonomy, financial power and deeper self-awareness. The future belongs to leaders who can blend logic with intuition and create real, measurable change. Women-led spiritual businesses in London are moving from soft, vague promises to real, results-driven work. My clients based in London and the UK want tools that transform their lives, not just feel good for an hour. The next wave will be grounded, evidence-informed and unapologetically ambitious blending intuition with strategy, energy with measurable outcomes. Women who can deliver clarity and impact will define the space.
How do you maintain credibility in a field that bridges corporate and spiritual worlds?
I use clear language, measurable results, and transparent methods. I do not hide behind mystical branding and use complicated language. My credibility comes from lived experience, client outcomes, my years of study and certifications and consistent delivery
What are the common misconceptions about spiritual entrepreneurship you want to dispel?
People think it’s vague, passive or easy. It’s none of that. Real spiritual entrepreneurship takes discipline, strategy and self-mastery. Another misconception is that it replaces action, the truth is spiritual work amplifies it. The results come from doing the inner work and applying it in the real world consistently.
It’s constantly working on yourself and evolving.
How do you manage risk when making major business or life decisions?
I combine data, intuition and timing. I assess the numbers, check my energy and make decisions quickly. Business is risky, there’s no certainty in life. Nothing is guaranteed. I manage it by trusting myself, trusting the process and leaning into my intuition. I make decisions quickly, learn fast, and course-correct when needed. If it doesn’t work, it was a lesson. Risk becomes manageable when you stop waiting for guarantees and start moving with clarity and confidence.
How do you ensure your mission aligns with both personal fulfillment and market demand?
I start with what excites me and what I know creates real change. Then I test it with the audience, see what resonates, what delivers results.
If it lights me up and serves them, it stays.
If not, I pivot fast.
Alignment comes from marrying passion with evidence, intuition with feedback.
“Real transformation happens when spirituality meets structure: clear steps, actionable processes, and results you can see.”
