My clients come to me feeling anxious and overwhelmed and they ask me, how can I somehow feel better? Calmer? In control? Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed by how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their mental health. Ignoring your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body, but this does not have to be the way things keep going. Regardless of what has happened, change is possible, and you no longer have to do this alone. I believe people can change and together we can get you to living a life of ease and relief.
At Serengeti Wellness we offer a custom approach for each of our clients. We start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. We help you put a plan in place to help you move forward, and we celebrate your successes along the way. We offer an inclusive, safe space with virtual appointments to conveniently suit your schedule.
Helping people live a better life is my passion. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss or life transition, or it could be changing a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you feel better so you can live better. Contact me today for a free consultation and we’ll get started on your journey together!
