Rekha Thomas

Inspiring and helping women find their potential

We had a mammoth task ahead of us! We had to find our first Extra-ordinary Woman! The world was waiting with bated breath to know who it was who would receive that honor.

We met many smart women. We were looking for someone different - an influencer- a person who touches others (women). A leader who leads by example. And when we found that person we rejoiced. It was like finding a treasure. We knew we had met the person for Aliya!
Meet Rekha Thomas – a wife, a mother, a leader, a teacher, a businesswoman, and an extra-ordinary woman.

Why do we think she is extra-ordinary? Well for starters she has helped in making marriages beautiful! She has also helped women go through Pregnancy and Delivery with ease by her teachings! (Not surprising since she is a mother of three beautiful girls!). Her classes on these subjects have helped in transforming families. For new brides she has given wisdom on how to handle the road ahead. For mature women it has been on how to make the marriage exciting. For the elderly on how to grow in grace and wisdom. The women who have received and followed her teachings have seen remarkable change in their life. Today they are grateful for all that she has done.

How did we know about her? Well the people who were influenced by her informed us about her. And they testified at the way the teachings had transformed their lives. There were women who faced harassment, women who were disappointed with their marriages, women who feared pregnancy…. And we spent time with them to know their situations. And we saw the joy on their face as they spoke about Rekha. And as we dialed Rekha’s number to fix up an appointment we could not hold back our excitement.

We went with a lot of expectation. We wanted to learn from her. After all, the issues she handles are of concern to every woman. We also wanted to see this woman about whom there was so much spoken about! We were not disappointed at all. We met her in her beautiful villa in Al Twar. We met her husband too who was all praises for the support she has been to him! And saw how truly blessed they are as a couple.

Rekha cites that a Degree in psychology helped her in understanding other women. Her faith helped her in directing people on to the right course. Faith that it is not her but God who finally does the change! Her phone constantly rings, people asking for counseling sessions and advice. She tells us that this can go on till late nights! And throughout our meeting and the calls we saw the poise and the maturity with which she handled everything.

As we left her villa we were at peace. We had truly found the right person. We had made the right choice. What greater joy can a woman receive than seeing peaceful families and beautiful children.

Cheers to Rekha Thomas – An extra-ordinary woman indeed!
