Summary
A passion for living a life true to oneself has deeply shaped my own journey and aspirations to be of service to humanity. Answering “the call” to work with others in a coaching capacity has brought to life a deep sense of self-actualisation. A whole-hearted longing for a world of higher consciousness, compassion and healing guides my path.
