We often experience a decline in our mental health when our capacity to cope becomes saturated. We may start experiencing anxiety, depression, loss of joy, isolation, loneliness - extending stress into our relationships. Our ability to move forward, heal, find peace and realign ourselves with our purpose and finding hope is linked to our ability to connect, honor our emotional experiences as we learn to reframe our perspective. In our session, you will find an inviting, affirming validation and gentle encouragements to work through your fears and emotions. You'll embody empowerment, hope and reconnect with your confident self.
