Linda Robinson

My ideal client would be someone who is motivated to find contentment and peace. They may not understand what it looks like or how to reach it, but they are willing to put in the effort. It can be difficult to recognize what fulfills us at first, but willingness to open up and accept guidance is a very powerful start. Ideally, mothers who are struggling with everyday issues such as juggling work, family and relationships are the clients that I would love to be able to work with.
