A few of my favourite books and music
From books to beloved melodies, each holds a special place in my heart for the inspiration they gave me. I hope they offer you insight and encouragement as well, in their timeless wisdom.

Online course: "The Freedom of Love."
We live in a world where we often feel we have to protect ourselves, and as a result, we put on layers. For some layers, we remember the purpose, and it’s useful (clothes to protect against the cold). However, there are many layers that we forget about. We forgot we put them in place, and we don’t know why they are even there.
Some might be useful, some not, but we often need to be made aware. It’s worthwhile investigating this; “Why,” you might ask.
After adding layer after layer, many people identify with their coverings; this is who I am (distanced, separated, tough). At the same time, they feel anxious, not good enough, and alone.
The good news is that under all these layers, there are beautiful diamond like qualities that you might have forgotten about. Your light shines here but it’s covered up.
As a life coach, I will help you transform the layers you no longer need into resources that will positively define your life.
I might push you out of your comfort zone, but you will set your limits. We will work together to achieve what you need to live your life to the fullest and let your light shine into the world.
