Our CCIH Baltimore Healing Team

 

Hannah Kahn, Wellness Coach

I received my health coaching certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and went on to get certified in EFT Tapping. I am incredibly passionate about creating a safe and supportive space for individuals to reach their highest potential. I believe the mind, body, & soul are inextricably connected, and each individual has unique needs.

I provide support and accountability by getting to the root cause of the emotional distress and guiding clients to release unhelpful subconscious beliefs & emotional patterns. This is done through meditation, journaling, talking, and tapping on acupressure points.

Darrell Forbes, M.Ac., L.Ac

Darrell Forbes, M.Ac., L.Ac. is a sensitive and skillful healer, using a complement of physical, emotional, and spiritual techniques to help clients release the painful, subtle patterns that cause every form of illness.

Darrell initially trained in traditional Five Element acupuncture at Tai Sophia in Laurel, Maryland (now MUIH). In over a decade of practice in this medicine, he has helped clients to experience complete physical and emotional change, transforming chronic illness, difficult family dynamics, and spiritual stuckness. He has seen Five Element acupuncture—a truly holistic medicine—bring balance, inspiration, and ease to every part of life.

Having received bayat from Shaykh Sidi Mohammed al-Jamal in 2012, Darrell is also a certified teacher in the Shadhiliyya Sufi Order. He trained as a Sufi healer in the University of Sufism's four-year program, including in the Advanced Healing program with Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe.

Darrell is experienced in a number of Sufi healing techniques, and has received training from Dr. Wadude Laird in the art of hijama (Islamic cupping). He has seen this beautiful technique bring healing and purification to physical pain, deep inner wounds, negative personality traits, and subtle, antagonistic inner voices.

Darrell lives in Oakenshawe, plays the bass, and is completely in love with the natural beauty of his home state, Maryland.
