Poetry, Teaching, Training and Coaching – the connection from my soul to the Universe. My gift from God to all. I love what I do and enjoy doing what I love!

My approach to education is unique, empathic, holistic, creative and empowering. My aim is to empower individuals of all ages and sections of the community, to be the best person they can be. Learn More
