Testimonials

Through thought provoking conversations, awareness and acceptance, I have been able to move forward from a 33 year marriage separation/rejection and family relationship breakdown to accept, reflect and respect myself. Thank you for the awakening! (Rosie)


I would highly recommend Amaya in all counselling roles.  She has a wonderful gift in listening, asking the right questions at the right time, understanding a situation and reconciling a way forward,  to deescalate a potential hazardous situation to one that we both could safely sleep on.
