Bismillah...

 All praise and thanks are to Allah, the Most High. Nothing would be possible without His Grace, and I am eternally grateful for that. He SWT guided me to Aafiyah Healing and it truly has been the greatest blessing.

I am Parveen. Happily married and a mum of 3. I love coffee, chocolate, kittens, long walks in nature, reading and moments of solitude. Aafiyah Healing has played a pivotal role in my own personal journey: fleeing from a marriage steeped in domestic violence and manipulation, suffering from bouts of depression and anxiety, as well as watching loved ones’ battle with terminal illnesses. And this is a mere glimpse of what I went through over the years. What I would like to share with you is the effect the trauma had on me. After leaving the toxic marriage, I vowed not to let the past get to me. I threw myself into going back to complete my studies, gaining a qualification as a chartered accountant. I moved on to finding an amazing job at a global accountancy firm, working as a tax consultant. However, at the back of mind, I really wanted to get married again, have children and settle down. By the Grace of Almighty Allah, my heart's dua was answered, and I met the man I am now proud to call my husband.

I was happily married and relatively settled in life. However, I struggled with anxiety, bouts of depression and cold sweats. And I was always in a state of fatigue. And, of course, all of this took a toll not just on me, but on my beautiful, growing family. In 2019 I attended the Aafiyah Healing Workshop and this is when I was shocked to the core. After Brother Zuhair facilitated a trauma release session for me, I realised how much my past was actually impacting my present life. I was feeling vulnerable, yet at the same time, angry at myself for opening the proverbial can of worms.

But having done the workshop and understanding at such a deep level the impact of emotions on our mind, body and heart, I knew I had to face my fears and work through my trauma. It took months of consistent time, patience, hard work - and a whole lot of tears but Alhamdulillah I pulled through. Through the tools provided in the workshop, as well as the Deep Trauma Masterclass, and support from fellow practitioners (because we all need support and guidance!) Allah Almighty enabled me to find relief from anxiety, depression, cold sweats, PMS / hormonal imbalance, digestive issues and knee pain - and I was deeply fascinated by the root causes aligning with my traumatic life experiences, Subhanallah!

Aafiyah Healing has enabled me to free myself from the past, move forward and truly live the life I dreamt of! And my greatest and most precious gift I have received through my healing journey is my deeper spiritual connection with my Rabb, Allah Almighty. And this is something that words fail to express. I can only say that I wouldn't change a thing in my past as it has delivered me to this place of complete trust and submission to my Lord.

I also learnt that healing is a life long journey. We will, without a doubt, go through trials and tribulations. But with the tools that Aafiyah Healing provides we can get through the challenging times by the Grace and Mercy of Allah Almighty.

I feel honoured and blessed to be part of the Aafiyah Healing Family... a wonderful group of people, dedicated to helping others through the work they do, their duas, support, love and encouragement. A group of people who never turn away anyone, help without judgement and show compassion and gentleness to all. Brother Zuhair has created an awesome environment of love and healing...one small shift in any one individual has a massive impact on so many levels -

The Butterfly Effect, SubhanAllah! May Allah Almighty increase Brother Zuhair, preserve him and enable him and all of us practitioners to reach the millions of people who so desperately need help, through mercy, compassion, gentleness and empathy that our beloved Rasul Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam taught us to embody, Ameen Ya Rabb!

I therefore invite you to say Bismillah and start your own healing journey. Release yourself from the shackles of your past and get ready to embrace a new future, and I would be honoured to walk alongside with you.
