About Us
Blessed Journey is a wellness venture founded by Karim, an Egyptian aerospace engineer whose profound personal journey led him to a new path in holistic health. After spending two transformative years in Canada focused on gut healing and natural wellness, Karim returned to Egypt with a deep passion for herbalism and holistic well-being.
Today, as a certified Master Herbalist and Holistic Health Practitioner, Karim is dedicated to sharing his expertise, wisdom, and the healing power of nature with his community. Through Blessed Journey, he empowers friends, family, and clients with the knowledge and tools to achieve balance and vitality in their lives.
At Blessed Journey, we take pride in meticulously sourcing the finest organically grown Egyptian herbs, botanicals, essential oils, and carrier oils—many of which are exported to Europe and North America for their exceptional purity.
Each botanical is carefully packed and sealed in compliance with the highest international quality standards, processed through our trusted partners in licensed, state-of-the-art production facilities. To preserve their potency and freshness, our products are then stored in temperature-controlled environments at our Giza headquarters, ensuring they reach our valued clients across Egypt in perfect condition.
The healing journey that led me here
In 2016, while building a career in Canada’s aerospace sector, my life was profoundly altered by an unforeseen health crisis. What began as persistent symptoms soon escalated into a relentless ordeal—countless hospital visits, inconclusive tests, and a cascade of debilitating diagnoses. Chronic illness forced me to pause my ambitions, leaving me in a cycle of pain, frustration, and temporary pharmaceutical remedies that never addressed the root cause.
For nearly two years, I endured digestive inflammation (IBD), heavy metal toxicity, metabolic insufficiencies and systemic imbalances that conventional medicine could only suppress, not resolve. Determined to reclaim my health, I turned to the wisdom of naturopathy, herbalism, and holistic healing. Under the guidance of pioneering practitioners, I embraced deep detoxification, cellular nutrition, and the restorative power of botanicals—unlocking a transformation that had been deemed unachievable.
This journey led me to the profound realization that true healing arises from harmony between body, mind, soul and nature. Inspired by the teachings of renowned healers—Dr. Barbara O’Neill, Dr. John R. Christopher, Dr. R.E. Tent, and others—I immersed myself in the science and spirit of natural medicine. Through rigorous study and personal experimentation, I not only restored my health but discovered my life’s purpose: to empower others with the knowledge that vibrant wellness is achievable.
To honor this calling, I pursued formal training as a Master Herbalist (Dominion Herbal College), where my research on Frankincense and Myrrh’s synergistic effects against chronic infections earned top distinction. Furthering my expertise, I became a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (CHHP) through Trinity School of Natural Health, equipping me to guide others with evidence-based, nature-centered protocols.
Today, I stand as living proof that the body can heal when given the right tools. My mission is to illuminate the path for those still struggling—offering not just remedies, but a roadmap to lasting vitality. Through education, compassion, and the timeless power of plants, I help others rewrite their own stories of wellness.
