Explore whatever it is you are struggling with. At 59 years-old there isn't much that shocks me and will never judge. I will lovingly challenge thoughts beliefs and actions that have not been serving you well, to uncover those that serve you better!

We will identify how all the systems around you have influenced the way you move through the world. We will explore your relationship with yourself and others. We'll gently unpack wounded parts so they are not so present in your everyday life.
