What my clients says.

Overcoming Rejection and Finding Self-Acceptance

I met Saya Jackson when I was still a student, at a college function. We went to the pulpit together and exchanged contacts and became friends. I then got pregnant out of wedlock and it was such a big issue with my people, school administration and friends. My dad literally stopped talking to me. My mom supported us until the baby was 3 months old then stopped. My friends deserted me and life became so lonely and unbearable, not to mention the financial constraints that came along with being a mother. The father of my child rejected us the moment he heard about the pregnancy and at some point when my child was only 3 months old, a stranger took us in and we lived with her until I completed my studies. During that time, my only support and only friend was Saya Jackson. He used to call regularly to encourage and pray with me though it wasn't easy. Having grown up with rejection from childhood, it wasn't easy accepting myself and at times the things he told me never made sense, but he kept on and on until I was able to accept myself. Life as a young, naive, jobless and hurting single mother wasn't easy but luckily had a shoulder to lean on and that was Saya. He opened my eyes to things I never thought I would know. He encouraged me to be firm on my principles and not let anyone use me because I was a single mother. I always wanted to rise above my low self-esteem and to love myself the way I am but was so wounded that I couldn't do it but through Saya's coaching, I was able to stop abusive relationships, know, my self-worth and finally accepted myself. I also accepted my past and made peace with it, acknowledged my mistakes and forgave myself, let go of bitterness and faced life with courage and hope as a daughter of the King, just like he used to remind me. These are qualities I admired in some people but I couldn't achieve them because of the wounds and scars that marred my personality. Through the coaching experience, I am an empowered single mother who is able to identify a toxic relationship from wherever it comes and make a decided move to leave no matter how painful it is. This ability helps me protect myself from abuse from people. I'm also cautious of hurting others and forgive quickly before the hurt turns into bitterness. My relationship with God and my child is greater now than before. I can strongly recommend Saya to anyone in need of some direction in life, especially in matters to do with relationships and inner healing because I have first-hand experience and I'm not regretting it. I'll forever be grateful to Saya.
