Great to meet you!

Shaakira is a trauma expert with a double Master's in Social Work and Public Health, certified in Trauma, trained in EMDR, Mindfulness, Hypnotherapy and Rational Behavioral Therapy

My approach to therapy

Her modality is Holistic Therapy which supports the alignment of Mind (Mental Health), Body, (Physical Health), Emotional and Spiritual. Ailments is not an isolated problem, an imbalance in one aspect of self-causes distress in the other. This practice brings a harmonious alignment to all elements of a person.

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional she will treat the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder while educating you on the effects of chronic stress on the body and mind.

What you can expect from me

Your initial assessment will include a review of your behavioral health history, challenges, energy, and wellness goals.

Coaching will be provided around mindfulness, diet, lifestyle, energy healing, and more. Healing will be promoted through the 5 elements of life:

~Water, (Nurturing & Purifying energy)

~Fire, (Body, immune systems, chakra's, lymphatic system)

~Air, (Divine Spirit)
