This practice is dedicated to personal improvement through self-assessment, self-acceptance and self-love.
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:17–18
“In 2018 after being diagnosed with cancer my life changed. My spirit was crushed but then I looked to my creator. I had a different perspective on time and how I want to live. I started a counseling practice and worked on my wellness journey. Yes, all in the same year. Along the way I met inspiring people who motivated me to practice self care (something that was foreign to me).”
“The past few years have been transformative and my personal mission is to use my God given talents, knowledge and skills to help people where they are – wherever that may be. The journey begins with taking one single step.”
