your past and want to rebuild “A NEW YOU”?
If the answer to any
or all of these questions is, Yes, then we’re here with

Why Did I Choose This Book?
I am in touch with
Dr. Haseena for a long time now. I knew
she was writing her masterpiece and was eagerly waiting for the book to be
launched since 2 years. The book cover caught my attention along with the
catchy title “The Kintsugi Moms. The word Kintsugi is a Japanese word which
means “The art of putting broken
pieces back together with gold and lacquer” thus making the object more
strong and beautiful than its previous state.The very concept intrigued me and
kindled my curiosity to know more of what is inside the book.
About The Author: Dr. Haseena Chokkiyil
Dr.Haseena Chokkiyil is
a holistic healer with over twenty-five years of experience in the field. Apart
from being a graduate in homeopathic medicine and a globally licensed Heal Your Life workshop facilitator,she is also
a clinical nutritionist and psychological counselor. Being a single mom herself
who conquered Addison’s disease and cancer with the same tools she trained
herself into, she truly leads by example. Presently, she is working as the
chief medical officer at a homeopathic hospital in Kerala, India. Our first
Miss.Universe from India Ms.Sushmita Sen
who is a proud single mom and a phenomenon in herself has been a great
inspiration for the author in her healing journey.
About The Book:
The book is an
anthology of 8 single moms’ healing journeys who were dilapidated in myriad
ways to begin with.
In the first part of
the book, the author has vividly
depicted the lives of those warrior moms, the ways they transformed from
brokenness to the best possible versions of themselves. The real-life stories based
on true events explains in detail how everything in life can go for a toss
within the blink of an eye and break you into bits and pieces and how one
can get healed and transformed with the holistic healing
tools advocated by the author. Any cracks in your life can be mended and made into adornments to be proud
of. The protagonists talk about stress, anxiety, loneliness and
depression, the negative vibes, and how helpless they felt when unexpected
tragedies happened to them.
The second part of
the book, discusses about the healing
tools the author implemented in her clientele with phenomenal success.The
possibilities of holistic healing modalities like Homoeopathy and other mind
body healing techniques like the practice of affirmations and visualization,
mirror work,gratitude journaling, right
diet plan,exercise and regimen ,are dealt with in such simple language that
even a person with little knowledge of the English language and medicine can
assimilate and apply for radical healing of any health challenge.
Some
of the techniques like, the Ho’oponopono technique, Inner child meditation, and
the forgiveness exercises seemed very interesting.

“This is such an inspirational book for every one,not
necessarily single moms who are looking
for self-transformation. The book helps in enhancing both your inner and outer
personality.
These moms’ stories have proved that everything is
possible with the right
approach and under expert guidance. The
writing style is lucid, and so much relatable.
“Being
a mother myself, I could relate to other moms’ feelings when it comes to their
kids. I am thankful to my kid for allowing
me to nurture her.” I highly recommend
this book to every woman who needs a healing and apply the techniques
outlined in throughout the book to create the life of your dreams.
A few lines from the
book
- “Loving yourself is the most important kind of
love. We all need to be very clear that the love in our lives begins with
us.”
Note: The author concludes the book with an inspirational
message.That being a mother is a woman's greatest strength . Once
she realizes her true potential, she becomes insurmountable and
undefeatable. I would like to request the author to write something for
stay-at-home moms like me as well in future, as this is also a community of
women who are many a time undervalued, and
taken for granted by the world at large.
