Why choose me as the mentor for your child?
Through personal struggles and professional training, I have developed skills that help me connect and communicate with young people. As a highly sensitive person, I deeply empathize with the issues that young people face, and at the same time, I have the objectivity to hold space for them and guide them towards a sweeter way of living.
