As a mother of four, she enjoys spending time with her kids, getting time to herself to read, or watch her next favorite “T.V. program,” and walking in, or around, nature. She loves to dance and does so to express her happiness. She is passionate about helping people “get unstuck” and deconstruct the concepts that no longer serve them.
