“The first step is to accept your calling, you don’t just wake up one day and decide to be a traditional healer. You need to heal all of your childhood trauma, understand your purpose with the calling and then finally embrace your calling,” she explained.
The challenges Mannya faces as a traditional healer on a daily basis is over-exertion and that people often try to take advantage of her.
“You need to take some time off every now and then because people will always seek your help at all times of the day. Some clients will take advantage of my kindness and when I set boundaries, it becomes a bit of a challenge,” she said.
She explained sometimes clients visit her who seek help as they think they are bewitched, but all they need to do is change their behaviour and attitude.
“When I have a depressed patient, I usually refer them to a psychologist after I cleansed them,” she added.
