Without an experienced guide:
- You may flounder, feel alone, looking for the right method at the right time.
- You may wonder about the best next step.
- You may expend energy, time and resources uselessly trying different things that weren’t designed for you.
With a friendly and seasoned soul working with you,
you will…
- feel clear about your next steps in growing your work and your life.
- feel confident to make powerful decisions and choices founded on your own knowing.
- feel excited to explore new practices designed just for you.
Essence Presence is your guiding source for insightful, effective and creative practice with Chinese Medicine and Buddhist meditation.
Schedule a Cocoa Chat to see what kind of guidance might take your life and practice to the next level!
