Growing up she learnt to deny her intuitive wisdom and reject everything that couldn’t be proved using logic. But life taught her that her path had to go through accepting her feminine energy, acknowledging and opening herself to intuition, sensibility and empathy. Her journey of inner evolution and healing has brought her to this point and now she dedicates herself to holistic energy work.
