You will be guided in practices that support cultivating resilience, developing self awareness, and a strong self love. This foundation can be especially transformative by providing compassionate practices, awareness practices, and healthy honest conversation and strategies to empower young women. You will gain tools to deepen your allyship to your clients, in a way that truly honors the intersectional layers of their identities.
