Shaakira has been so instrumental in my growth over the last two years. I love who I am becoming and I owe a big part of that to Shaakira. She is so wise and has allowed me the space to vent, talk, think, cry, and laugh. I look forward to my sessions with her.
I truly believe God matched me with her specifically and I feel I am becoming more of who He created me to be.
I’m so grateful for her!!!!
