Major (at any age) are also a specialty area, including family members both 2 and 4-legged, beginnings and endings, and being in present moment. Remaining fluid and nimble allows for learning , while also integrating the pains of personal growth. Our work together will revolve around the essential philosophy that all beings can heal and succeed, no matter what adversity has come before.
