Conclusion

Coaching I specialize in helping professional women with their work/life balance using mindfulness. I start by helping them strengthen their roots—core values, relationships/support system, mindfulness. From there, we can set up a plan for the change the client wants to make (developing more branches, leaves, and fruit)
