QUOTES: When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors. It is not uncommon for their lives to be unravel. My great passion is bringing holistic healing to people who have had to go through traumatic/stressful experience. This mission includes children, adults, and families, to find healthy, holistic perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole, and safe. I’ve been wounded, suffered a lot of hurt and pain, bruises, and broken heartedness in my life. I was a victim of sexual, mental, and emotional abuse. I felt rejected and abandoned, And I can promise you, just because you don’t deal with something, that doesn’t make it go away. I am so in love with Jesus! He delivered me!!! I have discovered that there is hope for the hopeless with Jesus
