These answers form her testimonial.

**********

 

What was the biggest hesitation you had before you worked with me?

Time was my greatest concern. My calendar is full months in advance, so taking 4 days off to do something where I’m not allowed to work is asking for a lot.

I really wanted to go though, so thankfully you allowed bookings 8 months in advance! I had an opening and filled you with it. It was great knowing that I had something secret planned for myself coming up within the year.

What happened after your stay?

I had a large amount of issues answering this question Zakiya. It’s far too generic a question for the amount of things that happened to us that weekend, and subsequently after that weekend, don’t you think?

I will be frank here since you requested honesty, my life is envied by most of my clique. I have an amazing career. I get to travel constantly because of said career, and my sex life and sexual prospects favour the Wolverine type of guy, which is great satisfying fun. I finished my PhD a couple years ago, my parents are ultra proud of me, I own my own place, and I have no kids.

I have built the perfect life on paper. But that doesn’t mean that I am happy with it.

Do you know how spoilt I would sound if I go to my friends and say, I have everything that I am supposed to have, but something is still missing? Something is not right here.

I have done it to one or two of them before, and they informed me that I am looking for drama because my life is panning out exactly as I planned.

I am not bored – I am particular, and I was incredibly concerned that I was wasting away my life to someone else’s dream. I felt it in my gut. I wasn’t operating at my full potential, I was cutting myself short – but how? How could I say this when I have everything I want on paper?

So, I booked some time with you. I was referred by a girlfriend who I trusted who went to you before I met her. I owe her, and you, much more than I can ever give.

How do I explain to other people that you have created a spark in me, that is not driven by motivation, but by my actual inner fire. Dare I say it, my actual Inner Goddess self!

I am not really describing this adequately, and for that I apologise. You have showed me such depth within myself that after our time together, I have this new lease on life. I am alive, and I am happy. In the truest use of the word.

I am happy. I am not comparing where I am with others. I am not overworking to prove my worth to myself. I’m not punishing myself at the gym for succumbing to my desires. I didn’t realise how hard I was trying to fit into a stereotype until after my time with you. The difference between me before and after our time is more than just heightened efficiency and the zest for life that I knew I was missing – it’s my immovable knowing of who I am. 

I am a woman – and all of the power that comes with it.

What did you enjoy most about The Experience?

Our uncovering of all of my assumptions about my life, my expectations, and my limitations in the most freeing, exhilarating manner ever. I remember every splash and every sand kick – it really felt like I was breaking down my own barriers to myself.

What was an unexpected / expected upside you experienced after The Experience?

I was previously on Team #NoNewFriends, because of previous pain and not wanting to let my guard down again – that has changed. Ironically, I am now bestfriends with another woman who it feels like I’ve known my whole life. She is the sister I wish I had. I would’ve never met her if my guard was up as normal.

I expected to return to work refreshed, I did NOT expect to be promoted again. The explanation for my promotion was because I “just have the right feeling for the company – and this feeling is more important to us than your physical qualifications”. I know that that is because of my time with you Zakiya.

Would you recommend this to your Bestie?

Already have.

Anything else you want to say?

Nothing but Thank You, from the depth of my soul.
