Historically, I would have describe myself as someone who struggled to express/confront most of my inner emotions, ranging from the most elementary right through to the most complex - but all that has changed. Emotional pain and anguish is something that most people encounter in their own respective forms at least once in life, but working with Fatima I have learned the importance of inner-choice within these chaotic and challenging moments. My work with Fatima has produced an inner awakening that I did not see as being possible, and at the epicentre of it all was the choice to relinquish myself from the bondage keeping me suppressed. My journey with Fatima has allowed me to revisit most of my deepest emotions and the experiences that birthed them, which has allowed me to grow so much as an individual. Fatima is a such a patient and peaceful individual that has given me so much by means of providing me the tools to mental freedom, and I am so grateful for the journey that she embarked upon with me! What happened to me in the past does not solely define me, nor does it mean that I must remain attached to the energy & pain associated with it. I thank you Fatima for helping me make this realisation, and for giving me a safe environment to grasp continual mental strength and peace.

Would not recommend. Late both sessions, impatient, interrupted and didn’t let my partner finish (English isn’t his first language), literally grabbed me on the way out and said “hey don’t repeat yourself because it makes him mad” - in front of him, basically justifying abusive behaviour.
