The story behind ‘becoming’

From the time we are born, we are becoming who we are and who we are meant to be.

life throws so many curve balls our way sometimes which influences how we are able to know who we are, walk in wholeness and preserve our wellbeing. NOTICING how these things have harmed, hindered or influenced our journeys is a valuable step in healing, RECONNECTING WITH ourselves, and supporting healthy relations in our lives.

As a helper I hope to walk alongside you and support you in your journey of IDENTITY discovery, self reflection, healing and growth. I believe we are always BECOMING who we are meant to be and our spirits are always searching how to grow, love and thrive.
