Aafiyah Healing offers a client-focused, holistic therapy approach. We help you identify and understand the core emotional causes of various physical and emotional ailments, empowering you to achieve a better quality of life.
What to expect in a session?
Clients come to us for various reasons, including physical pain, discomfort, and emotional overwhelm, such as anxiety, depression, and grief. Our sessions begin with an intake questionnaire to tailor our approach to your specific needs.
Most clients will present physical symptoms to begin with, even if they know there might be deeper emotional issues that need addressing also. Practitioners will often start by realigning the body using energy work and focussed attention. The client is requested to stand during the realignment session that can take up to 30 minutes. The main focus here is to ensure that the hips, spine and shoulders are in the correct posture so that the main bodily organs are not constricted and compromised in any way. The realignment process will help to alleviate much of the physical pain.
At this point, the client may request that the session is concluded if the physical pain is no longer there.
In some cases, there may be some residual pain lingering after the realignment, so the practitioner will now focus their attention to that specific area to try and eliminate it completely in the remaining time of the session.
The realignment can be done in person or via a video call. Both are equally as effective. Practitioners will not make physical contact with non-Mahrams.

Working With Emotions
Many clients are unaware of the connection between physical pain and emotional baggage. Our holistic approach identifies these links and uses targeted techniques to release trapped emotions and alleviate physical symptoms. For example: the Liver is connected to holding onto anger, the Kidneys are connected to fear, and the Lungs are connected to grief. Pain in and around the heart is connected to hurt and separation from loved ones.
In most cases where there are underlying emotions, following on from the realignment, the client will display certain signs such as feeling nauseous, or lightheaded, feel teary, or may want to sit down. These are key indicators that the body is now ready to release the emotions that have come up to the surface.
The client is then asked to sit and relax and with some basic enquiry process along with visual diagnosis, the practitioner is able to help the client process and release the emotions.
The greatest challenge that clients have with their emotions is the sense of overwhelm and loss of control that they can bring about. This is because emotions carry a âchargeâ depending on how vivid and raw the experience is in their mind.
The practitionersâ task at this point is to facilitate the processing of emotions (making the link of physical symptom to emotional root cause) and then releasing that emotion (so that the emotional charge from the memory is neutralized).
Note here, that memory cannot be erased! The therapy process allows for the client to be able to revisit their past mentally and no longer be triggered by it in the same way as they previously did.

What happens after a session
Healing is a journey that requires time and commitment. With ongoing support from our practitioners, clients can experience significant improvements in their well-being over a series of sessions.
Self-care is extremely important in the healing phase. The practitioner will give you some tasks to do after the session. This may include taking a salt bath, doing some grounding on a daily basis and even keeping a journal so you can note down any emotions, feelings and memories that may come up after the session. It is extremely important that the client completes the prescribed tasks so that there is progress and continuity into the next session. It is extremely important to keep the momentum up whilst the healing is taking place.
Note here, that memory cannot be erased! The therapy process allows for the client to be able to revisit their past mentally and no longer be triggered by it in the same way as they previously did.
 You can communicate with your practitioner after the session, to give any updates or ask for advice.
It is recommended that you commit yourself to a minimum of three sessions with your practitioner to experience lasting changes.
We understand that the therapeutic process is not easy and straightforward, so sometimes clients may experience a relapse in their condition or experience a healing crisis and that is totally fine and acceptable. This is not a reason to cancel upcoming appointments or simply give up on your healing journey. Remember to always update the practitioner fully and honestly so that they can assist better by taking your situation into consideration.
