I do what I say I will do. And if I make an error, I will absolutely own my mistakes.
I am reliable.
I reply to all emails and quickly. I am a problem solver and work hard to build your trust.
I take pride in my work and am always looking to improve and bring more value to my retreats and holidays.
I believe.
I believe Black Lives Matter.
I believe in equality. My retreats are always open to everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation or religion.
