She does this while helping children with bedwetting, anxiety and their own empowerment through growth and development that can truly help make positive changes in their life. Her unique focus on the specific age group and developmental period of the individual helps guide their sense for which of the six senses are most comfortable to work within and introduce guided meditation, progressive relaxation and hypnosis in a safe environment. I have taught all ages and provide course work for adolescents that are based on their level of receptivity in order to better serve their needs and adapt.
