I too am a Woman, Mother, Partner, Daughter, Sister and Friend. I marvel at the mysteries of women and the sacred bonds they have with their children. I admire any woman who has dared to love and had their heart broken. I rise and walk with my sisters when they fall from the pressures of everyday life.

I am here to hold the space for you and yours.
