I will never forget that terrible feeling that engulfed me. I was 19 years old and struggling just to catch my breath. I couldn't focus on anything but the sheer panic .

With compassionate guidance she helped me heal and rid myself of the anxiety and panic . I valued what she did so much that it became my goal to also be that lighthouse for others who are drowning.
