I'm not in the business of instigating change. I am in the delicate and complex work of allowing and empowering it. Because I feel that ultimately, YOU have the wisdom and the power to bring about the changes you need; Because change is YOUR work and your choice, my role is to set the stage, in some instances empty it, explore what stands in the way, discover with you all the options and possibilities for change. Ultimately, you decide. The fact that you are here already ensures it. My job is to notice it, observe it, reflect it, and honor it. In this space, I have seen amazing change happen. Holding you Tenderly, Tania
Trauma Treated Tenderly
