"Mia helps me to feel more connected and less alone.  She listens to me without judgement and has helped me to rebuild trust in relationships as I share my embarrassing moments, struggles and laughter with her. When I cry she shows understanding through empathy and validation- she lets me be me!"

Mia holds a safe and nurturing space allowing me to feel safe to unfurl and discover deep parts of myself. Mia has the unique ability to tailor sessions on the spot, supporting whatever presents in the moment through her attentive listening and authentic relating, using her vast tool kit.

I feel so supported and cared for by Mia, she is able to read my cues and know what I need, sometimes before I notice myself! Mia makes every moment an adventure, when we find something like a feather, she helps me make a dream catcher, when we see an interesting food, she's enthusiastic to help me make it, it's always interesting and fun!
