I support my clients in cultivating awareness and guide them in the healing process by drawing on innate strengths and resilience.

We are meant to grow, to act fluidly and adapt creatively throughout our lives and we suffer when that process is blocked or interrupted. However, our suffering can provide an opportunity to grow in new and exciting ways.
