Dr. Lumumba managed to reconnect me with myself and empower me in such a way that I don’t need any other energy but myself. I found my way to a self-sustained life that is filled with joy but also the hard things. But the thing I know now is that I will be able to get through it and even become a better person because of it. Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed my first video session with Dr. Lumumba. I feel that he understands my situation very well and has been extremely helpful and resourceful. I was hesitant to start this process as I didn't really know what to expect. I can now see the benefit and I look forward to working with him further.
