"… thank you … for helping me on my recovery journey from my narcissist abuse. Even though we didn’t have many sessions together, out of all the therapy including energy healing and acupuncture etc. I really found yours the most healing and helpful”
— KK, Client Confidential
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
— Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
