Nowadays, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are leaning on spiritual healers to attend to our mental health needs and more. While there is a lot of potential in alternative medicine, the chances of falling into the hands of the wrong healers where re-trauma occurs or even abuse, I offer Baraka Divine Healing as a corrective measure. Since 2013 after years of research and working with other consciousness experts worldwide, I developed Baraka Heart Activation. Inspired by my healing journey, I offer a safe and loving space much like a "mother's womb," hearkening the Arabic word Arahman (Ultimate Mercy) one of Allah's 99 names.

Life changes and identity crises can be highly anxiety provoking. Whether there is a conflict at work or you've recently become a parent, stress can wreak havoc in your life and must be dealt with before the problems and symptoms become unmanageable. Addressing feelings of sadness by yourself can lead to a loss of hope, but you need not deal with these emotions alone. Physical symptoms can be as emotionally debilitating as mood disorders. Insomnia, chronic fatigue and chronic pain can all lead to emotional distress and cause mental health issues. Therapy may help uncover some solutions to these problems.
