A Journey of Transformation and Inner Awakening

Tazim Elkington, also known as The Indian Black Butterfly, offers unique methodologies that have empowered countless individuals and groups to live more fulfilling lives.

Her array of services includes being an “Evolutionary Disrupter,” 21st Century Corporate Authentic Leadership Trainer, Speaker, Writer, Paradigm Shifter, and more recently, one of Kenya’s most successful Hypnotherapists. Her work also includes Transpersonal Regression and Talk Therapy, with hypnotherapy serving as an invaluable tool for healing and understanding at the deepest levels for her clients.

Tazim is certified by the Australasian Board as a Psychosomatic Therapist, adding to her countless accolades and awards for her work in various fields both locally in Kenya and internationally.

Her quest began with herself over 30 years ago. Having worked in high-profile positions, from General Manager to Director of Sales & Marketing to Managing Consultant, the glamour and success did not fully satisfy her. Life had been challenging since childhood, bringing countless issues to the surface. The only place to find the answers was within herself, an invaluable wisdom she now shares through her work and daily life.

Transcendental Meditation led Tazim to become a TM-Sidha (an advanced practitioner) in 2006, which catapulted her into going even deeper and learning to transcend the many layers of life.

After living in Canada for nine years, Tazim returned to Kenya a decade ago and began carving her own path with unique methodologies that challenge people to live their best lives possible.

Authenticity, integrity, and open communication form the groundwork of her life.

Her profound understanding of Universal Values serves as the foundation of her work, creating immense shifts within leaders, organizations, family units, and individuals.

Tazim’s sessions are unconventional and groundbreaking. She disrupts distorted beliefs, behaviours, perceptions, habits, and attitudes. Her work has impacted lives globally, including in Kenya, Canada, the USA, Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, Italy, Papua New Guinea, and more.

For her, moments of quietness are also important, serving as opportunities to rest and rejuvenate.

Inner Work First: A Guiding Principle for Industry Newcomers

Tazim believes it is essential for professionals in this field to do their own inner work so they do not transfer their baggage onto clients.She emphasizes that this industry demands a high level of self-awareness and emotional intelligence. It requires consistent effort to continue clearing and working on oneself daily, as personal growth directly impacts professional integrity.Meditation, balance, and emotional hygiene, according to Tazim, are essential in such sensitive work.
