About Paula | She/her

Message to clients

Do you struggle with feeling present in your life and have difficulty slowing down? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed with your thoughts? Do you struggle with uncertainty and want to feel grounded? Now more than ever, more people are feeling the impact of anxiety, racing thoughts, and trying to do it all. Instead, you can learn how to lean into discomfort, slow down, and be more present in your life. I am all about embracing our messiness and honoring our truths. I believe when we are living our lives self-led, we lead with the heart, courage, compassion, and curiosity. It takes courage to start this work and I recognize that taking these next steps feels difficult. Visit my website today to book a free phone consultation to talk about your goals, ask questions, and I will explain what to expect during our time working together. I hope to hear from you soon and to support you through this season.
