About Us
At Family Healing - Fayyina Maatii, we believe that every child deserves to be seen and heard. Growing up, I didn’t have access to Oromo cartoons or products in my language, and my parents—who had endured the hardships of war and trauma—didn’t always know how to emotionally support us. Like many, I struggled with depression, anxiety, and panic attacks for years. Through my own journey, I realized that not knowing how to express my emotions and being disconnected from my authentic self had a profound impact on my mental and physical well-being.
As a mother of four and a psychology graduate, I am deeply passionate about emotional health, mental well-being, and the importance of cultural identity. Inspired by my children and my personal experience, I created tools to help children understand and express their emotions, practice self-care, and connect to their cultural roots. I’ve learned that emotional growth isn’t just important—it’s essential, and it should be nurtured from a young age. Self-care, much like learning your ABCs or how to count, is a vital skill for every child to develop.
Our thoughtfully designed products—ranging from bilingual flashcards and posters to beautifully illustrated board books—are crafted to help families nurture emotional health and build strong, supportive relationships. These tools offer a simple, accessible way to foster self-expression, emotional understanding, and cultural pride in children, empowering them to navigate their feelings with confidence.
We understand the challenges of parenting and know how crucial it is to provide children with the emotional tools they need to thrive. Our mission is to support families by offering products that help children feel understood, loved, and capable of embracing their heritage and emotional well-being. At Family Healing - Fayyina Maatii, we are committed to making sure every child has the chance to flourish—mentally, emotionally, and culturally.
