Consulting 

I recently had a chat with an individual with whom I have been conducting business with on an entirety pro bono basis. Said individual remains suspicious of me despite the fact that I’ve offered nothing but support and solid information to, and so it leads to this post. If you wish for me to work […]

Setting Boundaries 

Boundary setting is an important part of self care and is often overlooked in our digital environment.As an empathic healer and consultant I am often asked to provide my services and time at no charge, day or night, with little regard for personal and professional boundaries.
