Get in touch to schedule a free intro conversation! Nothing makes sense anymore. It’s overwhelming. One day you’re restless; the next you feel stuck. By going below the surface, you can expand your capacity for the natural discomforts in daily life. A new paradigm for “mental health” based on recent research in neuroscience and physiopsychology shifts our understanding, allowing healing and restoration not just adding layers on top. You can navigate with ease through the challenges and disruptions around you, embracing a mindset of lifelong development and vitality. Please contact me to set up a complimentary introductory session so you can get a feel for what it's like working with me. I look forward to hearing from you!
