Testimonials

Just wanted to let you know that I have noticed a change and I'm really grateful for it. Things have come up since our first session that would usually send me straight into panic mode, but for the first time in a long while, I managed to stay calm and believe myself when I told myself I'd be okay. I also found that when I though about certain issues that usually make me analyse and over think things that have happened in the past, I was able to stop and push them aside and I feel as if I can finally let things go. I've tried so many different therapies in the past and none of them brought about much change, so I'm really excited about this journey!

When I reached out to Zaahida, there was so much turmoil and anxiety in my life. There were days when I literally thought that my heart would burst through my chest due to anxiety! Initially I thought it was just an issue or two that I needed to sort out. My journey with Zaahida over these past few months has been a gift to myself in so many ways. Her non judgemental gentle way is what I have needed to work through the many unrealised issues I had. My approach to everything has changed and I am able to approach everything from a calmer place. The happiness which has accompanied this is just a double blessing in my life. A heart felt shukran to Zaahida. I couldn't ask for a better person to assist me and guide me on my life's journey.

Everything that I was stressing about doesn't seem so dominating anymore and I'm able to see the situation from a logical perspective. I'm really impressed with the instantaneous results!

Being in a state of stress and anxiety caused by family problems, I contacted Zaahida for a session. I felt very suffocated and was unable to think clearly or make efficient decisions. Immediately after the session, I felt a sense of relief and much lighter.

My sessions with Zaahida made a big difference to my life. I was able to let go of stresses and emotions from years back and what I was currently struggling with. I was suffering with a post nasal drip and after my second BodyTalk session, it cleared up. The sciatica affecting my right shoulder and a pain in my arm also went away. I am very impressed! Sofia, age 30

Thank you Zaahida, you have helped my entire family so much! Ms S, age 47

- Ms S

The primary reason I started BodyTalk with Zaahida was my daughter She has had to handle a few difficulties in her short life and a very trusted family member had recommended Zaahida. I recognised that if I had made the decision that the sessions could possibly benefit her, I myself should consider it. Many have described me as a strong woman. There are moments, however, when the enormity of being a single parent overwhelms me. I used to blame myself for the outcome of my marriage. BodyTalk has helped me recognise that I alone was not responsible for this, that I have done the best that I can. BodyTalk has helped me address the lack of trust that exists in specific relationships. I have slowly learnt to recognise the importance of trusting someone again, appreciating the value of love and being receptive to a new journey when it arises. Ms M, age 43

- Ms M

Thank you so much. I had a weightless weekend… I was able to chat with to my husband and express my needs and he didn’t take offense. It was indeed a beautiful weekend. I really appreciate your help. Ms D, age 38

- Ms D

I was feeling stagnated in areas of my life and so I decided to contact Zaahida for a session. My life was never the same. Through regular sessions, I have experienced profound emotional release regarding family issues which I had been struggling with for years. I discovered my own strength and a new found joy and purpose. My energy levels began to improve and I found myself looking forward to each day. Past painful experiences had left me wary of being in a relationship. However, as my self-awareness grew, I started to perceive myself in a different light. Within a few months, I met my now husband and am very grateful to be in a relationship where I am valued and can be myself. My sessions with Zaahida have played a pivotal role in my gaining a deeper understanding and acceptance of myself which has enhanced all my relationships. Ms N, age 39

Zaahida, you are great. In 3 sessions you have improved my confidence, helped me cope with outside negativity and helped me deal and accept my inner torments Can’t wait for my next session. Fathima Asmal, age 37

- Fathima Asmal

Before I started BodyTalk I felt very out of control with my reaction to certain things. I was angry most of the time and also very emotional. Since starting sessions with Zaahida, I don’t react the way I did before. I’m calmer and more energised. It has really made a positive change in my daily life. Fatima Mahomed, age 36

- Fatima Mahomed

I cannot lie, I didn’t believe in it – I thought it was the biggest piece of nonsense I had ever heard. Eventually, I gave in jus to shut my friend up and attended a session. It was a horrid period in my life, nothing was going right and my entire life seemed like a sad, pathetic joke. After the second session, I was addicted! I think I cried through the first few sessions and had to deal with the raw, painful truth. I have made some incredible changes in my life since then. Instead of being caught up in life, I have, with BodyTalk, learnt to step back and review a situation, then make a decision to get involved or not. The change has been phenomenal. What else is amazing, is that you develop this understanding of yourself, and I can honestly say that I enjoy BodyTalk with Zaahida more and more with each session. I particularly respect Zaahida’s way of dealing with clients in that she is professional, but at the same time asks the questions that need to be asked, and the fact that she isn’t judgemental – rather going with the experience and understanding. I would suggest this to anyone who wants to understand themselves, for anyone who wants to live a meaningful life. Ms B, age 27

I just wanted to say I am really doing well after BodyTalk especially with regards to my confidence. There’s definitely been a shift in perception and how I see things. Ms K, age 23 (via distance)

- Ms K

So here’s the thing…for some odd reason after I left you, I couldn’t stop smiling. It was weird ‘cos I have only done one session with you…my afternoon with my on has also been calm and whether that’s the calmness in me… I have to admit the session was intense for me, mainly because of the deep rooted issues and I am spent. But also I have this renewed hope that I finally don’t have to do this alone…the fact that you heard my rambling and understood my soul meant a lot to me…my only regret is not coming to you earlier. Ms D, age 40

My neck is much better. Didn’t need to go to the Doctor. I also lost a kilo. Have been dieting for the last two weeks and it’s working am feeling good. Thank you so much for your help. Ms A, age 39

- Ms A

I've been dieting since as long as I can remember, from my primary school years. Food-obsession, binge-restrict cycling, yo-yo dieting, shame and guilt and a love-hate relationship with food is the only way of life I've ever known in my almost 40 years. I've never known "normal" eating and it has always been pure torture for me. I came to Zaahida in desperation, having suffered diet burnout. I couldn't manage another diet, my "good eating" days were only lasting for a maximum of 5 days, then I'd feel like exploding and the binge would start. I knew there had to be an easier way to live with food. Alhamdulillah, all I can say is BodyTalk with Zaahida has changed my life in a way I could never have dreamed of. Zaahida has always spoken to me of deep mental shifts that change our perception and attitudes towards different aspects in our lives, and that is what happened with me and my relationship with food and my weight. In a short space of 3 sessions my entire attitude towards food and weight loss has shifted. I stopped obsessing and trying to control my eating and my weight, I threw out the scale, the food diary, the daily food logging, the forbidden foods list and made food my friend. And surprisingly I've not 'fallen into chocolate cake', I've not binged or had the desire to binge in over 3 weeks, which for someone like me, who has binged at least once a week, or always felt on the verge of a binge, is HUGE! I've stopped fighting food, I eat what I want, when I want (and it's normal foods most of the time, with regular treats, guilt - free) and it's the most liberating feeling in the world. I've started listening to my body's cues and following them. I know that with my new outlook, Inshallah, my body will settle easily and comfortably at its natural weight, because for the first time in my life I'm eating like a normal person. If I could advise anyone with food issues I would say: go for BodyTalk with Zaahida. A huge part of her success with her clients comes from her bubbly, positive, kind and non-judgemental nature. She's not only helped me with my food issues, but she's opened my mind to positive thinking and mind over matter and in so doing, Alhamdulillah, has helped me improve many aspects of my life!
