Her ‘heartwork’ encourages oneself to explore the relationship of unconscious intentions and adverse behavioral patterns for a more conscious, balanced and nourished life. Most importantly, her sessions are about having fun, accessing internal joy and enjoying the given experience within and outside our body.
