Are you at a place in your life where you are looking at making a huge change?
Does it feel like you are standing at the edge of a high cliff and there is no net to catch you if you fall? Whether it is from a recent divorce, a choice to make a difference in the world, children leaving home, or burnout from a career or job - you want to know where to go from here. This program is a combination of therapy, coaching and experiential learning and we designed it for you.
You are not alone. You won’t lose everything when you allow yourself to explore your passions.
You can become more instead of less. More able to love yourself, which allows you to connect and love others, animals, the environment around you, and the world. Allowing this love and connection enables you to open up to the next steps and we as therapists, life coaches and mentors are here to take that journey with you.
