Peacemaker Testimonies & Love Letters
Standing Unabashedly in Truth
Hitaji Aziz has an incredible way of standing unabashedly in truth when talking and coaching White people who hunger for a country and a planet without racial hatred or any kind of cultural oppression. Her passionate coaching motivated me as a White woman to look more deeply into how systemic racism had shaped my mindset generationally as a White woman raised in a White family system. Her compassion helped me to observe how I was raised in a country born from racial trauma and class conflicts. I realize now that if I am to be a positive ally for and with people of color I have to include doing the work of healing myself along with creating a consistent support system for my own personal growth and accountability. This can be uncomfortable at times, but that is because it makes one aware of unconscious conflicts we harbor in our own minds, conflicts between our intentions and our realities.
Powerful Impact of Hitaji Aziz’s work
As a client and longtime follower of Peacemaker Enterprise, I can attest firsthand to the powerful impacts of Hitaji Aziz’s work as a coach, spiritual mentor and guide. Her compassionate approach to listening and helping you identify and assess the root causes of challenges and traumas in your life, and to create new patterns of thinking and meaningful actions forward has helped me and countless others to experience healing and resolution.
She has contributed to my personal and professional growth
I’ve been blessed to be one of Hitaji Aziz’s faithful clients for nearly ten years. Her coaching and Reiki sessions, a part of my monthly self-care, have directly contributed to my incredible personal and professional growth. Hitaji provides compassionate care as well as wonderful resources and tools. I highly recommend Hitaji to anyone who is serious about self-development.
…a blessing to my life.
Hitaji has given me healing on so many levels. She always listens with nonjudgmental wisdom and care and provides healing exercises unique to my situational needs. Her coaching, energy work and Reiki practices have lifted my vibration numerous times and supplied me the holistic healing I’ve needed. I highly recommend seeking the services of Hitaji. She has truly been a great blessing to my life.
My healing began the day I met her
I never really grasped the notion of self-care, nor spirituality until meeting Hitaji. I was technically beginning my junior year at Vermont College in Montpelier, when on one sunny autumn afternoon I decided to sit at a picnic table next to a woman with earphones on, seemingly unaware of my presence. Hitaji actually knew much more about me than I knew about myself. My healing began the day I met her.The labels assigned to me by American societal standards were not the norm: Black, gay, Christian, alcoholic. I was conflicted, but Hitaji helped me birth what really mattered. I had a voice worth sharing and someone out there needed to hear it. Acceptance is everything and thus my journey began nearly 20 years ago with meeting my dear Sister. I am truly grateful. There are no coincidences with God.
I was blown away with her massage and reiki
I first met Hitaji in 2001 when a friend recommended her for a massage/body work. I found her welcoming, warm, and her space felt the same. The massage was very good. Also, in that first visit I received my first experience with Reiki from her. I was blown away with it! It was a mixture of the healing of body, mind, and soul. I have attended community events as well within her space well that I enjoyed. I have and will continue to recommend Hitaji.
Reiki and Mamma Hitaji is the truth!!!!
Reiki and Mamma Hitaji is the truth!!!! As a person that is constantly in contact with others’ energy whether good or bad, it takes a toll on my energetic, psychic, and physical body. I was blessed to be introduced to Mamma Hitaji and immediately was drawn to her healing spirit. I then had an opportunity to experience Reiki up close with her. Before the Reiki session begins, you experience the environment and its ambiance which is so peaceful that it immediately opens you to healing. I actually experienced the universal healing energy coming from her hands as she hovered over my chakras. During the session, I felt as if I was transported to another world. When I came back to earth I had a feeling of peace, calm, gratitude and love. She was able to realign my chakras as well and cut the energetic connections that were attached to me from others. It was a feeling of lightness where there was heaviness. I am grateful for her gifts and her willingness to share with the world!!!! She truly is a healer on every level.
Hitaji is intuitive, compassionate and genuine.
They say that when the teacher appears the student is ready. If you pay attention closely enough, you will realize that there are a some people in life that show up when you need them …at just the right time. Literally, our paths would cross often. However, the day I learned that Hitaji was a healer, I discovered that I was in fact in the midst of a teacher. I also realized that I was ready to be a student. Life is a journey filled with lots of healing pathways but you must pay close attention. Hitaji is intuitive, compassionate and genuine. She is truly a healer mind, body and spirit. I am grateful to be in her midst
She brought us to the table together
I am grateful for having Hitaji Aziz enter my life in the early 90’s initially through my work at a public school and then on a much more personal level as I struggled through a divorce. Hitaji was instrumental in cultivating a culture in our school as one that learned to listen, explore challenging concepts of diversity, race and culture. She brought us to the table together and helped us learn together for greater understanding and compassion. Hitaji was my personal savior and coach during my challenging divorce. She served as my support, guide – sitting with me, holding space, and helping me find my own inner balance in the life I was living at the time. Today, I am grateful for the examples of how she served me and others – sitting quietly, listening, having patience, being present for me and others.
Hitaji has extensive knowledge in the collective healing of trauma
Hitaji has extensive knowledge in the collective healing of trauma. She views family systems through compassionate eyes and understands the root causes of what she calls “woundology.” Her ability to see patterns and behavior as a symptom of deeper core issues makes her a gifted healer. Hitaji has been a solid and strong voice for the understanding and healing of racism and the disenfranchised. Her life experience has led the way for her passionate promotion of social justice. Hitaji has done her own personal work to be clear and present for others. Her Radical Self-Care Workshop offers a safe place to talk about and heal intergenerational wounds. She is an intuitive leader who listens deeply to assist in releasing emotions and offers gentle guidance to contradict old thoughts and beliefs.
Hitaji has a rare insight into healing trauma
Hitaji has a rare insight into healing trauma, even if it is just the trauma of living on the planet. She forces us to look at life and relationships from perspectives that stand you on your head so you can see from another view. I first met Hitaji at KPFT where her broadcasts on racism challenged my world view. Week by week, Hitaji helped me to deprogram which allowed to see the culture that raised me from the perspective of a traveler.
Her insights have helped me to walk in the shoes of others that helped me to heal my mindset. I have had healing experiences with Reiki and massage by Hitaji. Her many years of experience helped her to point out issues about my body that I hadn’t noticed before. I often turn to Hitaji when other humans are acting in ways that bogle my mind always turning my head towards deeper understanding and love. It is lovely watching her grow in her own healing journey and I am blessed to be along for the ride.
Hitaji is an amazing woman who has become a friend
Hitaji is a wonder with talents that flow to so many communities, women’s community, LGBTQ community, black community as well as the straight community. I 1st came across her listening to her show on KPFT. It took but a minute listening to a voice that literally sang. The flow, the timbre were truly melodic, but it was the content that was so powerful. Hitaji told stories that flowed, each unique and each was a learning experience; she was/is captivating. At some point, I heard her story, the way she’d grown up, her marriage, children, the loss of her daughter to cancer resulting in her raising young children, her serious health issues all the while, dealing with each situation with grace and wisdom and a resilience I’d never seen before. I went to her studio for a healing and it was as if I’d stepped into a temple. Her energy moved through my body and she used her gift of healing.
Years ago, Hitaji was featured in a full page spread in our Houston newspaper. I cut out the article, had it framed and hung it in my office so everyone who walked up the stairs to do business would pass by it. After I retired, I carried that large, framed picture to a second home where it hangs in the library, an inspiration of an amazing woman who has become a friend. She is a testimony to never give up, always look forward, persevere.
I consider her a holy woman
I first met Hitaji as a social justice advocate through her program on KPFT community radio. As I listened to her, she became a mentor and a teacher. She has lived a life that included many hardships, but through grace and her natural gifts as a healer she has been on her own healing journey and has help others to do the same. I consider her a holy woman. Her healing process seems highly intuitive and is shared in meditation and body work. I cherish my friendship of many decades with her.
Hitaji is an “Agent of Change”
There are few people in this world that I have called “Agent of change” for the betterment of our world. Hitaji Aziz leads that list. I first met her at a workshop in Austin, Texas a few years ago. Her enthusiasm for life and making this world a better place is what caught my attention first. Since then, I have learned she is the center of the matrix for change. She holds that space for all of us. We owe her a huge debt of gratitude.
She has a nurturing and warm presence
I heard about Hitaji’s healing work through a client more than a decade ago not knowing much about energetic healing such as Reiki. She has a very nurturing and warm presence. We started with a very short meditation together followed by the main Reiki session. She starts all of her sessions with a few minutes of silent meditation as a way to create sacred space and she ends the session in the same way. Her energy session helped me to tapped into an emotional blockage that I had buried deep. That was the beginning of my journey to seek more personal wellness. Her coaching, her energy work and what she writes online about her personal healing journey reflect her ancestral, experiential wisdom. I hold her in high regards and I admire her perseverance and hard work she puts into bettering the community.
She walked me through life-shifting decisions
Coaching works when you decide you want something different out of life, are ready to step out of your comfort zone, and have a guide willing to tap into whatever modalities work for you. A coaching experience is also worthwhile if your coach is transparent and willing to share lessons from her journey. Working with Hitaji worked for me for all of these reasons. She has walked me through life-shifting decisions.
You are strong and giving
My beautiful sister. You are strong and giving. I will always think about your gentile soul and your pure heart. I still have great memories of your pear cakes/ pies and trusting you to be the one who would finally pierce my nose when we were younger. I still wear my nose ring. Even though I have not seen you in many years I still feel connected.
You are an inspiration to me. The work you do, the joy you express, the pain you encounter throughout your life and still power forward is impressive. I believe God connects people no matter their distance and time through the spirit of their souls. It has been a great honor to know you.
I was captivated by her passion
My first experience of Hitaji Aziz was hearing her voice on the radio. I was captivated by her passion, knowledge, and her visions of a world that could work for all of us without the suffering, the racism, the violence and the hatred. She challenged us to seek more wellness by taking the time and having the courage to heal what needed to be healed for the personal as well as for the collective. I started to understand from the perspective of a White male in America that I could make a difference and that respecting cultural diversity was extremely important.
Peace Beautiful One
When I vibe on Hitaji, the thing that comes to mind is consistency. The therapies, words of wisdom, and compassion that I have received and witnessed from her has inspired me to know that love for the community and people are real. We have been blessed to have Hitaji as a beautiful healer and advocate for the Houston community for numerous decades.
Light and Love,
Below is is the arrangement you described, so you can see how it looks. If you like the way this looks, I can easily move it up.

Your message spoke to my heart
I’m a white woman and your message on PBS sure spoke to my heart. You are truly an inspiration to me. You are living proof that anyone can overcome their obstacles. I’ve got numerous health issues and feel like I can’t do things but you have motivated me and lifted me up! When you stated that we cannot be a victim to our circumstances, past or present. That is very powerful.
Hitaji was my angel sent from God
Hitaji was my angel sent from God. She had been waiting for me to come to her for a long time. A friend of mine recommended her to me in a most turbulent time in my life. I came to a point in my life where I felt worthless and was just existing. After meeting Hitaji I knew intuitively that my restoration would be on its way. She is caring and very much intuitive to what is wrong and finding the root of the problem. The body/energy work was truly amazing and I truly felt the healing as she did the Reiki and body work session. She is transparent, empathetic and a GOD send. She truly has God’s hands on her, and I will be forever changed and grateful that Hitaji had a part in my rebirth.
A professional in the truest sense
Ms. Aziz is a professional in the truest sense – both fulfilling the request(s) and providing a more thorough and intensive application. I was fortunate enough to find someone who excelled in both a professional deep tissue massage, but also with the lymphatic drainage I had requested. Further, this particular massage, required intensive and emotional healing time, and Ms. Aziz timely and patiently provided both support and very thorough listening skills — much needed today in our “multi-tasking-don’t time for asking” lifestyle. Also, a meditative and reflective time — much needed! Thank you again, Ms. Aziz A very pleasant experience.
Hitaji has a stories that will help all women
You never know when you will have the experience I had yesterday. I attended a mini-healing session with Hitaji Aziz. It was amazing! Hitaji has a story that will help all women. In recent conversations with all of you, she is someone you will want to speak at your events. She believes in healing women. She has a story to tell and wants women to heal before they die so they won’t go to their graves harboring sadness and hate from their lives. She wants them to tell themselves the truth, know that they deserve joy, create their own reality, never give up on themselves, live a heart centered life, know they are more than worthy, they walk with unseen greatness, wake up being grateful, know they are uniquely beautiful and align themselves with the Spirit.
Leaves a profound imprint on our students
It is rare that a speaker visits our class and leaves such a profound imprint on our students. Your presentation at the Graduate School of Social Work accomplished just that. You helped our students to bridge the gap between therapy and practice. Our students experienced a heightened awareness that cannot be learned from a text book. Your training offered our students an ideology, a practice method and a value orientation that will enhance their academic careers and preparations for social work practice in the future.
Hitaji is a very powerful speaker
Hitaji shares a rare commitment to learning and her passion for healing and wholeness shows in her critical thinking about difficult issues and honest explorations of daunting racial and cultural memories. Hitaji is a very powerful speaker. Her oral presentations were among the most moving and impressive I have seen at our Vermont campus. That she will continue to surprise and inspire others seems only natural to those who know and listen to her. A skilled workshop teacher, she sees her own and other people’s social needs, and acknowledges gifts she’s received, giving others and herself needed acknowledgement. You will find Hitaji a pleasure to work with, a real asset to your program.
A Professional and Informative Presentation
On my behalf of myself and lucent Technologies I want to thank you for an extremely professional and informative presentation.
Stimulating, Educational and Refreshing
The staff from the Family Violence Unit thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Aziz and felt her presentation stimulating, educational and refreshing.
Her gentle and systemic approach
I met Ms. Aziz several years prior to seeking her services via a mutual acquaintance. That meeting made it easier for me to contact her for family coaching. Her gentle and systemic approach in guiding and assisting individuals with understanding the energy each carries and how to unblock stagnation and heal proved to be very insightful and helpful. I highly recommend her services to individuals and families
I Learned How to Heal Myself
Because of Hitaji, I learned how to heal myself by doing the inner work necessary to become a better mother to my sons, and to raise them with awareness and sensitivity. Hitaji also inspired me to become a reiki practitioner after a very powerful healing session with her at a time when my body was reacting to stress and toxins from medications for my Lupus. Hitaji, you have touched my life and the lives of so many others. Blessings be upon you.
Hitaji unlocked the door
My trauma occurred in utero when my mother was pregnant with me and had an accidental fall . Hitaji unlocked the door with the healing energy of Reiki and her intuition and care and in doing so, my frequent night terrors (for over forty years) completely stopped. Now a fuller version of myself has arrived , aware and awake, dwells within the realm of my higher-being and possibilities. Hitaji was instrumental in providing the tools for me to find my way, to answer my calling. I will always be humbly grateful. Until I met Hitaji, my existence was solely and unknowingly rooted in a wounding event. My healing was vital for releasing a lifetime of suffering, the initial act of clearing the way to being open, and to accept gifts previously blocked from entering within. She created a safe space for me to heal.
She allowed a portal of loving
She worked on my body in ways that both grounded and transcended the physical and allowed a portal of loving presence to release ancients wounds and unresolved emotions. I am deeply grateful”
Helped me through a most difficult time
Hitaji, your healing bodywork helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life.
I started to see who I wanted to be for the first time
I came to Peacemaker Enterprise diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had been suffering from BWS/Chronic PTSD but hadn’t taken medication during my second pregnancy and wanted to continue living without the medication. I was lost and depressed. Hitaji strongly invited me to build a meditation practice in order for me to better utilize her coaching, Reiki, and therapeutic bodywork. Meditation is part of her coaching process for reducing stress.
As a business owner, wife and mother I started to see who I wanted to be for the first time. My life and business became purpose driven. She is a powerful nonjudgmental spiritual facilitator who has never put up with any of my baloney which is what I needed.
My whole way of thinking and feeling about how I want to raise my children has changed for the better. I have been medication free for over two years now and feel better than ever. Thank you Hitaji and thank you to me for having the courage to change.
She is one of the most patient and compassionate people I have ever met.
I first met Hitaji at Vermont College during a presentation I was giving to students on race in 19th century American literature. Later we met for lunch and continued the dialogue discussing race issues and joining in a critique of my presentation that to this day is the most profound dialogue I have even had with another human being. I have no real words that would give a sense of the breadth and depth of her intellect and the skills in critical thinking and, to some degree, her ability to create dialogue. It really says but a small part about the essence of this woman. She is, simply, beyond fear or any hesitation in engaging with people, no matter their race, cultural background, economic class or any “baggage” they may be carrying or projecting.
She is one of the most patient and compassionate people I have ever met. She touches people and moves them to their better selves. You will be astounded and delighted as I was when I first heard her give a presentation to her peers at the college. Afterwards I asked her if she had studied rhetoric. “What is that?”, she asked. I smiled. “It’s what you do.” She is a natural, amazingly gifted speaker who can sense the audience and craft her delivery to meet their needs, open their awareness and allow them to feel their own essential self. Hitaji is a remarkable woman. To know her is to find yourself in a space beyond difference. -Martin F.
Anyone who knows you is blessed for it.
I think anyone who knows you, and anyone who has ever met you, or heard you speak, is blessed for it. You’re a professor in the University of Life, and a wise sage. We learn from you and grow with you. We love you SO much! Thank you for being.
You are an inspiration!
Just yesterday I shared a video of your life to a group. You are an inspiration! You Rock, sister. Keep making the world a better place like you always have. You deserve every blessing, every kudos and all the love in the world. YOU GO SISTER!!!

A coaching experience is also worthwhile if your coach is transparent and willing to share lessons from her journey. Working with Hitaji worked for me for all of these reasons. She has walked me through life-shifting decisions.
I am beyond proud to call her my friend
I met Hitaji several years ago due to our mutual love for meditation and the teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza. I have turned to her for guidance in my spiritual life as well as how to deal with racism as a White woman. Her passion for her own culture as a Black woman as well as her passion for the lives all people no matter the cultural difference is unmatched. She also coached my son as he explored deeper into his own healing journey. He too found her to be amazing and was touched by her compassion toward him. Hitaji is a fierce, compassionate loving human being and I am beyond proud to call her my friend.
Reiki improved my mind and body
The first time I took advantage of Hitaji Aziz’s Reiki skills was some time after I had entered a working relationship with her on a project. She offered to help me with some physical and emotional problems I had thru Reiki. I had never done this before and was a little skeptical. However, the tone she set during the session, the setting, and the trust I had in her made me relax enough to feel the effects of the Reiki and to find some improvement in my mind and body. I’ve gone back for more and each time I feel like something is reset/rebalanced towards making my life a little better. She is trustworthy and ethical in her practices and I know I can be honest with her whether the subject is positive or negative. She is a great listener.
She has contributed to my personal and professional growth
I’ve been blessed to be one of Hitaji Aziz’s faithful clients for nearly ten years. Her coaching and Reiki sessions, a part of my monthly self-care, have directly contributed to my incredible personal and professional growth.
