The shame and guilt brought on depression, high blood pressure and a cancer scare. Although the police, and youth services were 'doing their best', Akua realised that institutional outdated practises were not working. She had to find a different way. Akua learned about psychedelic medicines, alternative healing modalities and African spirituality. By putting these together, she was able to treat her depression and eventually get her son out of the drug dealing ring.Today Akua advises other parents dealing with the effects of grooming and gang activity, as well as assisting them on intentions and integration whilst healing themselves first and working with psychedelic medicines.Akua has worked with people coming out of high demand organisations &amp; religions, prison and coercive control situations.Akua works full time as designer and importer natural and artisanal products from Ghana.
