Traditional African Healer
I am an initiated, and practicing traditional healer based in the south of Johannesburg Gauteng in Southern Africa.
Having been born and bred in the deep rural areas of Pietermaritzburg Southern Africa - my values, principals, discipline, work ethic as well as drive stem from the rich cultural background of healing and from a very much cultural and traditional family and community.
I firmly believe that African Indigenous Knowledge Systems, cultural and self-awareness can help restore communities and bring back the dignity of not only Africa but South Africa.
Not only do I believe our culture and traditions can address societal ills in the country, but I also believe addressing the historic trauma of our ancestors can help remind Africans about principles such as Ubuntu, particularly in the precarious times we find ourselves in. I activist advocating for the awakening of the black people, starting with topics such as childhood trauma and Umsamo where in my experience of over 16 years, discusses how the disintegration of the African family has become the breeding ground for spiritually underdeveloped, hurt, lost, poverty-stricken, violent and hopeless communities also helping in bringing much-needed peace in countries which are currently faced with religious wars such as Congo, South Sudan and Ethiopia.
My field of practice is focused but not limited to traditional healing, fixing Umsamo, fixing ancestral and bloodline trauma as well as healing of the inner child through Psychology.
Currently -Using traditional African Medicine to interweaving communities and bridging cultures –
My greatest belief - abandon all effort...
