Rise, change and reframe
As one of the inspirational local women chosen to be a race ambassador for this year’s SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge, Essenwood’s Raeesa Mahomed talks about the race theme #IRise and how she uses every minute to live a life of purpose.

WITH a career carved out entirely in the broadcasting and entertainment industry for almost two decades in this country, as well as another ten in London and Mumbai, Raeesa, like many others, has been through her share of personal challenges. One of these was when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. But this life altering experience opened the door to a more fulfilling life.
‘This was a huge blow as I’d always lead a healthy lifestyle. I went on a path of self-reflection and deep introspection and started doing a lot of research on healing and self-development. I eventually stumbled upon this wonderful life coaching course and I enrolled purely to help myself – and by the grace of God I healed completely from my cancer – but it was such a revelation that I decided to share this knowledge and hep others, so I started practising as a transformational life coach.”
Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming and negative emotional therapy as part of her coaching, Raeesa helps people work on removing inner conflicts, negative emotions and beliefs, and then on building self-worth and self-confidence, and on achieving their goals and creating the life they choose to have.
“The results have been phenomenal. I have helped people get rid of depression, anxiety, long standing negative emotions like fear, anger, guilt and shame, finding direction in their lives and discovering who they really are and also heal and improve their health. The feeling when I see the transformation in my clients is the greatest reward. I honestly can’t think of anything else I’d rather do as my life’s work. It’s totally aligned to who I am and what I want to leave behind as a legacy – helping people and making the world a better place.”
