 Healing/healthy living philosophy: “Learning to listen to and trust the heart is key,” she says. “The heart thrives on coherence: a sense that life is purposeful, manageable and meaningful. I love supporting people to form deeper, richer relationships with self and others, creating balance with all that matters in life.”
