Meet Tasneem
Transition Mentor | Master NLP Practitioner | Intuitive Healer | Craftivist
Founder of Alchemy of Becoming & Cape Town Stitch to Resist
Tasneem Behardien has faced some of life’s harshest tests — betrayal, abandonment, abuse, divorce, rejection, emotional neglect, grief, and the challenge of starting over from nothing. She has endured perfectionism, codependency, enmeshment, and spiritual attacks. These trials arrived in soul-crushing waves, demanding that she heal herself in countless ways — a journey that became her greatest teacher.
​
Through it all, she discovered that pain carries purpose.
Like a diamond forged under pressure or a tailor cutting away excess fabric to create a perfect garment, Tasneem’s experiences refined her character and shaped her mission: to guide others toward inner liberation and alignment with their higher purpose.
​
She moved from a successful career in corporate to paving her own way.
She is a highly sensitive intuitive, Master NLP Practitioner, advanced life coach, business consultant, and craftivist. She draws on her personal experience, intuitive insight, and professional expertise to enable transformation with ease and grace — a process she calls inner alchemy.
​
Tasneem is also the creator of the FITRA Framework, a unique coaching methodology inspired by Sufism, decolonial healing practices, and an advanced NLP toolkit. The FITRA Framework empowers clients to unlearn disempowering patterns, reconnect with their innate divine essence, and step fully into self-mastery and purpose-driven living.

“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.” — Quran 13:11
​
“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you.” — Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
​
Tasneem empowers spiritually conscious women and seekers to awaken their inner beauty and light, reclaim their authentic selves, and live with purpose. Through online one-on-one coaching and group sessions, she holds space for self-discovery, healing, unlearning, and expansion. She lovingly guides clients inward, raising awareness of disempowering patterns while helping them take inspired, heart-led action in life.
​
​This is the Alchemy— the art of transforming from within, shedding what no longer serves, and stepping into your most heartfelt, empowered self.

About Tasneems' work
Seeking depth isn't about fixing yourself...
It’s about creating the space to meet yourself honestly, without pressure, fear, or conditioning.
She works with people who want clarity, self-trust, and embodied truth — not quick transformations or “better versions” of themselves.
Her sessions are guided by presence, discernment, and ethical responsibility. Patterns are noticed, language and body are attended to, and each step unfolds at your pace.
This work is relational, not hierarchical. I do not tell you who to become — She walks alongside you, offering reflection, orientation, and support as your own clarity emerges.
If you feel a quiet resonance with this approach, you are welcome to explore your FITRA™ journey.
