Reviews and feedback

I am looking forward to receiving your feedback.

Becoming Whole is a compelling self-help book

that delves into the concepts of inner guidance and the laws of transformation.

This book provides a comprehensive guide with heartfelt messages

to encourage healing and personal growth.

Karima shares her expertise on self-discovery and offers practical advice

on how readers can apply the teachings to create a path toward spiritual enlightenment.

Becoming Whole also emphasizes the importance of community engagement.

Karima’s inspiring statement in the prologue,

“Finding our true nature creates an anticipation of homecoming,”

highlights the sense of connectedness we as humans share.

She emphasizes that by going deep within ourselves and exploring our self-worth,

we can find answers to the questions we seek.

One of the themes in Becoming Whole is the importance of understanding our true nature.

Karima encourages readers to develop a deeper understanding of themselves

to unlock their full potential.

Through her guidance, readers can benefit from the wealth of knowledge

she has to offer and navigate the life lessons presented in the book.

Karima’s personal experiences also add depth to her teachings.

Growing up in post-World War II Germany,

she reflects on the concept of ‘healing the inner child’ throughout her journey.

She offers various techniques for personal growth, such as meditation and alternative therapy methods.

Her experiences in India are particularly intriguing and add a unique perspective to her story.

Becoming Whole is a highly recommendable read for anyone seeking daily inspiration and affirmation.

Karima’s vast knowledge and expertise make this book an invaluable resource

for anyone looking to embark on a transformational journey.

Maryann Namayi for Readers' Favorite

This book is an offering of astounding insights from an author 

who has walked a sacred path and who carries a lantern

for all who want to retrieve the refugees of their past stories and bring them home.

Becoming Whole is like having a spiritual guide

walk you through all the emotional territories of the human soul,

naming each landmark,

divulging each kingdom’s politics,

filling in the hidden indigenous ley lines.

Karima generously shares her depth of knowledge, wisdom and understanding

as she integrates many paths and disciplines of consciousness,

weaving a rope of safety to guide the reader’s hand towards becoming whole.

Joanne Fedler, internationally bestselling author and writing mentor

After many years of being a client of Karima’s,

it is a great joy to witness the birth and delivery of Karima’s book.

Being a lover of adventure in the wilds of nature, I have learned and experienced

that the greatest adventures of all are the ones of our inner worlds. 

The adventure of discovering, naming and accepting all our parts – even the scary, seemingly ugly ones –

with curiosity and open-hearted love and compassion.  

With the process of discovery and acceptance comes the great gift of transformation.

Our tightly closed, tense, shamed, boarded-up and fiercely protected shadow parts

transform into conscious gifts of joy, beauty and liberation.

This transformation results in a full-body, mind and heartfelt realisation of wholeness.   

As Rumi says, 'this being human is a guesthouse'. 

The very practical steps that Karima teaches in Becoming Whole allow us to safely invite and even welcome 

all the feelings and emotions we experience into the guesthouse of our human experience. 

Once practised and therefore understood in an embodied way, you have the recipe for continued practice

which gradually builds courage, confidence, and even more curiosity to adventure into,

explore and process bigger and deeper held emotions.  

In the modern western world, we have been conditioned that it’s ok to feel certain ways 

but not ok to feel (or express) other feelings. 

As a result, we hold on to and store these emotions in our body (a field called neurophysiology)

leading to emotional numbness, disconnection, depression, anxiety and physical disease. 

This book helps you to understand and practise feeling and healthily expressing ALL your emotions,

transforming them all into a state of wellbeing.  

If only we were taught this in primary school!  

I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels a longing to feel more connected,

a sense of belonging and more nourishing ways of relating (to self and others). 

This book is a roadmap home to self and a true gift to humanity.

Becoming Whole is a precious guidebook for everyone who is interested

in a rich life full of presence, love and consciousness,

and transform a multitude of human sufferings into wholeness.

It helps expand and stretch the reader’s consciousness and insights beyond any comfort zone

and hardly leaves any stone unturned, to finally come to the realisation that

whatever we wanted to become, has always been here.

With humour, wisdom, honesty and humility

Karima takes us through the multi-coloured landscape of the human psyche.

An adventurous journey that does not follow a straight line or offers quick fixes,

but relishes in the complexities and unexpected turns of life,

as each new insight, each new experience, each new life situation,

challenges the creativity and resourcefulness of the author and the reader.

Karima’s own journey is so wonderfully woven into profound teachings, meditations and healing methods,

that the reader can easily identify with aspects of Karima’s story

and find healing remedies for his/her own transformation and wholeness.

Karima’s skills and expertise in countless therapeutic modalities are a source of great inspiration for any reader.

Becoming Whole offers a bridge between our complex psyche, complicated ego and personality

and our infinite timeless BEING that is already whole and perfect.

Enjoy crossing that bridge and be surprised.

From my reading of Becoming Whole: The Art of Inner Transformation,

I am impressed by Karima's expertise and her knowledge of the different ways of

dealing with people’s problems and traumas.

Karima has a wide range of understanding of psychological tools and of profound methods of transformation.

At the same time, she’s found her unique way of growing and healing herself

as well as the thousands of people that she has worked with.

I find it, also, very touching how she exposes her own inner journey of maturing and awakening.

The book offers very mature and comprehensive guidance and I can highly recommend it –

it is sure to be a gift to all healers, therapists, parents, teachers and everybody who is working with people.

Every day I am so inspired by you and now I have this amazing book to help make my life even more rewarding.

Your husband Terry

What a beautiful book!

It is the book I wish I had been able to read in my 20’s so your readers will be very fortunate.

Lovely examples and teaching stories throughout the book. 

All the personal stories add depth and sweetness and can really trigger insights in the reader.

Great examples of client sessions and your work in them. 

Your gentle, non-pushing approach is a breath of fresh air!

Therapists will find this book very useful and helpful too, in terms of both approach and techniques. 

I can really see how you poured your heart into the book.

I believe it will help the audience, both in the short and long-term.

It’s great to read a book that provides ideas for immediate relief of distress

as well as a game-plan and goal for deep healing work.

Raji Munro, Author of 'Dreams and You'

Becoming Whole provides a unique pathway to healing trauma and

transforming disturbing emotions in both body and mind.

Karima is masterful at guiding the reader through the landscape of the heart and soul.

You will find radical and lasting transformation within these pages.

Let this book be your compass.

Lawrence Ellyard, Best-Selling Author of 'The Spirit of Water' and

CEO/Founder of The International Institute for Complementary Therapists

Becoming Whole is an in-depth guide to the psychology of transformation.

It draws on real experiences from the inner world 

and shows us that we all have the capacity to find meaning in everyday life.

It covers everything from self inflicted chaos and detrimental thought patterns

to absolute peace and acceptance of one’s existence.

The book, if read correctly, can be used as a guide to understanding your mind

and using your anxieties and pain as utilities to overcome hardship and grief,

from the loss of a family member to not being able to go to your favourite movie.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is curious about internal development

or has an interest in the spiritual and psychological aspects of the human condition.

Daniel Larsen, Musician 

Karima takes the reader on a fascinating inner adventure

to unpack the hidden issues and underlying pain that stop us living as our true nature.

Becoming Whole is filled with countless gems that Karima has generously offered

from her vast professional and personal experience over many years.

The reader is gently guided to a state of wholeness and flow by the use of effective and accessible techniques, meditations, exercises and golden tools that enhance our life and guide us home ... to ourselves.

A captivating read! I loved it from start to finish.

Sharon Turton, Journey practitioner, Parent coach, Author

P.S. Many blessings for you and your beautiful book ... may it soar and help millions of people.

It certainly has the capacity to do so.

Karima has such a deep knowledge and understanding of both the psychological and the spiritual

that is melded seamlessly in this book. 

I found it deep and profound and yet not at all heavy reading.

She kept it light and upbeat and yet did not shy away from hard topics.

It was presented in easy-to-read segments

which meant I could pick it up and put it down without feeling I had lost the flow.

It presents you with the opportunity to explore your emotional and spiritual worlds gently

with courage and compassion, nothing forced. 

I found Karima's book to be very supportive, enriching and full of easy-to-use tools

I can utilise to support my on-going journey.

Kate Manners, Director / Mall Audio Ltd, http://www.mallaudio.com

Karima writes beautifully, bringing together her experience with esoteric wisdom,

meditation and modern psychology, with great sincerity and depth.

She offers so many valuable practical tools and insights.

Although profound, these are very simple and effective and you can practice them anywhere anytime.

As you read and explore the chapters you feel Karima's friendly support and encouragement.

Helping our understanding, acceptance and courage to let go of what may no longer be useful or nourishing.  

Becoming Whole is a wonderful tool for anyone at any stage

who is interested to explore wellness and inner transformation. 

Rupa H Selecki BHSc TCM MAcS, Energy healer and Teacher, www.goldenflowerhealing.com

Karima’s book “Becoming Whole” is a wonderful resource and companion guide for any person

who is looking for insight, guidance and easy-to-understand practical knowledge on

how the mind and body respond and react to adverse life experiences.

This book not only provides an array of useful tips and tools for healing the mind, body and soul

it is also a deep and honest account of Karima’s own journey.

In doing this, Karima provides the reader with a companion on their journey.

Not only is the reader supported by the author’s expertise,

but they are also left knowing more about themselves and that they are not alone.

Becoming Whole shines the light on the reality that the wounds left on us may feel like ours alone to bear,

but that we are in fact not alone in our experiences.

Karima shows through her reflective writing and through examples of her own life and work

that those wounds are shared, that she understands and knows these wounds

and offers through this book that we need not carry them alone any longer,

hidden as shadows of shame in our hearts.

Lots of exercises, meditations and thought-provoking messages throughout kept me reading and reflecting!

As a fellow therapist, I recommend this book to anyone exploring their internal landscape

and would like a heart-centred and compassionate guide to walk with them.”
