I am a firm believer that each of us is an expert on ourselves. In the end, we all hold the key to a calmer life, stronger relationships, healthier habits, and a more optimistic mindset. I have always been somewhat curious about the way I feel, think, and communicate with people. Being able to witness and maybe even inspire this kind of curiosity to be ignited in someone else is astonishing to me. I am here to be a partner on anyone’s journey to themselves: in overcoming personal difficulties, strengthening relationships, passing through traumatic events, fighting stress, flourishing in a hostile and intolerant environment, or finding the confidence to strive for better. “Life lessons are not journeys traveled in straight lines but are crossroads formed years and miles apart.” They are ours to recognize and treasure.
