Meet Rasheedah Shahid | Spiritual & Holistic Instructor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rasheedah Shahid and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rasheedah, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Growing up in the system, it was my senior year of high school and everyone was preparing for college or trade school. I personally knew I wanted to study un der psychology to learn the brain and to help others who may have had similar childhoods like myself or help people overall gain control of their mental and spiritual health without medications or traditional religions. It was during my own journey of learning the power of meditation, tarot, I acknowledged how healing myself was help heal the ones around me. I began to get curious. I wanted to test myself to learn and master spiritual and holistic ways of healing for myself to then share with others.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am a Spiritual & Holistic practitioner that offers a bit of everything, a one stop shop! Tarot, Yoni Steams, herbal Blend, hand pressed oils, crystal jewel, crystal reiki, yoga; even natural hair styles which I call “Crown Chakra Alignments’ using all handmade vegan products, specializing in locs, all the way to beauty services with makeup classified as “Creative Complex” artistic looks for hair/fashion shows, photoshoots and more. What sets me apart is that everything is done with intention. I’m a firm believer that everything is a ritual, the mindset behind the action will affect the results as well as the clients experience. My clients book me for my skills yes, but also the experience that is provided. They enjoy my presence , conversation and the overall cadence to their needs creating a luxury experience where there needs are met.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Kabab Village, me being plant based and loving a Mediterranean flavor this place is healthy and has something on the menu for everyone! Lakes Park is a beautiful and large park surrounded by different species of trees and has a botanical garden, perfect for active play, relaxation, or even paddle boarding.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
For starters, all praises to the most high! Special shout out to my big sisters Asia Warren and Saffiyah Shahid who allowed the space for me to shift and change an d supported me along the way. Of course, my Umi, my mother, Shelita Warren for passing the torch the pains and lessons passed down from the ones before her where the inspiration I needed to seek to heal and be the one to break generational curses. My aunties Shewan Warren, Towanda Davis, childhood friends Dominque Fredricks. That’s just a few! I take pride into letting my loved ones know in real time how grateful I am for them.
