Most people feel when something is wrong, we notice symptoms that we do not feel well or people close to us make a comment about our behavior. At times, people don’t even realize that there might be something behind those symptoms that is making me feel or react certain way. Sometimes we have been feeling this way for so long that we get used to it, we think “that’s who I am”, we lose hope and motivation because we don’t think things can be different, we don’t know where to start or if there’s anything that can be done or if anyone can understand or help. Taking those first steps to move out of our comfort zone can create fear.

For myself the ideal client would be at a place in their life that they have decided "this isn't working and I want something different". This would include their personal or professional life and they are willing to examine where they are and look for a new way to get where they want to go. Clients who are seeking the guidance offered from the perspective of someone that has a vast amount of personal interaction with people from all walks of life.
