Snapshot Story
"I have several chronic conditions which have seriously impacted my life. I have received all sorts of related healthcare support but just have never quite been able to lift myself. I stumbled by Kristin’s clinic by chance. I am hugely grateful, it has changed my life. Most significantly her methodology has helped me learn to manage overwhelm by focusing on small goals, experimenting with new life hopes and dreams, and not being afraid to ‘fail’, reorientate and try afresh. My life is forever changed as a result. I increasingly have a quality of life I never thought I could regain. Thank you Kristin.
warmest regards
