"What is sexy? Dr. Fazial Sahukhan, sex therapist and guru of cross-cultural relationships, makes a career of answering this question....His services are so popular that he publishes a monthly advice column in Canadian Immigrant magazine and hosts Love Across Cultures on CBC Radio links"
--- Kelly McManus. (North Shore Outlook, April 24, 2008)
"During this career, which has included teaching at Vancouver's Langara College and writing an advice column for The Canadian Immigrant Magazine, the 40-year-old has seen more and more clients suffering from "sexual clash," in which Western individualistic and Eastern collectivistic romantic values collide... He's very passionate about helping couples from different cultures understand each other."
--- Michelle Tarnopolsky Maclean's. (November 26, 2007)

Professional Development Committee, Capilano University
"I must thank you for creating a course that is essential for every individual and couple to learn about themselves and their relationship with their partners... This workshop has given me the gift of becoming a
positive sexual person... I value the self-growth
I obtained... and I thank you for sharing your knowledge with me".
-- Jane H. (Richmond, BC)
"Before I took your workshop, I had many questions about sex and relationships, but could not find the right
person to turn to... You have broadened my view of sex, given me new insight into my sexuality, and answered
my questions... I think your workshop is unique and practical for anyone wanting to learn more about sex,
relationship, and him/herself".
--- Trudy T. (Hong Kong)
"Your discussions and your non-judgmental responses created such a comfortable atmosphere that I felt safe to share my most intimate thoughts and emotions".
--- Jenny L. (Vancouver, BC)
"After each session, I gained more knowledge about myself as a person... I look forward to taking more workshops with you
in the future... I strongly recommend others to experience this growth."
--- Charlotte T.
"As a fellow counsellor, I found Faizal's facilitation to be superb. He showed considerable skill... and was always cordial,
respectful, and supportive of participants. I agree with his belief that health care professionals need to acquire a greater
understanding of this important area of human behavior in order to be more effective with their clients... Overall, a wonderful
experience."
--- Tom W. (WhiteRock, BC)
"What a pleasure to have had Dr. Sahukhan on my radio program. He is a fascinating man with a unique approach to handling the culture clashes
that seem so prevalent in a multicultural society such as ours. The 'sexual culture clash' is one area of sexuality that no one seems to
talk about, yet many people live it. I am awaiting Dr. Sahukhan's book with great anticipation"
--- Dr. Laurie Betito, host of Passion,
