On a personal level, she has also faced her own trials and errors and used and tested the tools she is offering.
“Helping people has been a natural thing. From an early age, people would reach out to me, confide and seek support for their issues. I have on a personal level faced my own trials and errors and have used and tested the tools I am now offering to others. I would like to empower Internationals who are struggling to find health, balance and fulfilment in their chaotic modern lives…”
