Active Listening and Support

- Express what you are going through (context, emotions);
- Let’s take time to connect to your strengths;
- Learn to use those strengths to find a healthy balance.
Testimonial:
“Val is amazing! Her warm, empathic and quiet presence soothes your troubled spirit. She has the ability to hear your unspoken words of strength hiding behind your facade of resignation, worry and dare I say “hopelessness”. And using this “super power”, Val finds the perfect way to show you that you have the right to hope and that you have the strength to beat the challenges you are facing. Highly recommended.”
