According to her, the questions led her to build The Royal Shaman, a spiritual advising business for elite CEOs and business owners.

In 2021, her company made N403 million in gross revenue.

Nejeser said she has always known she had a gift, a way of knowing and seeing things other people cannot. After being detached from her sales career, she decided to follow her instinct.

In 2013, she left her job and began a spiritual journey for five years that led her to South Africa where she trained to become a shaman, a ‘healer’ who through a combination of ways, bridges the physical and non-physical realms.

Nejeser said the initiation involves strict psychology, healing an individual physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually by analysing their roadblocks, conducting rituals that call upon ancestors to help, or guiding them back to harmony.

She said the process can be very costly for a Shaman. She says she spent about N41.5 million and had to take on jobs in marketing and business strategy to augment.

Nejeser stated that in 2018, she returned home and began to offer individual spiritual advising sessions.

The journey to The Royal Shaman

She says there is a difference between spiritual advising and life coaching. Life coaching focuses on personal growth and success, and spiritual advising helps to expand people's consciousness on a more spiritual level.

Initially, she charged $197 for each session but after a few months, she expanded her services and launched her programme in December 2018 for $97 per month.

She enrolled 20 students in the first month and made around N7 million the next year.
