Before meeting Kathryn, I had just purchased a beautiful condominium on the water. I chose this area for healing purposes as I have been seriously hurt in a car accident and require a perfect space for healing.
Kathryn prepared a wonderful, personal booklet/session describing the best arrangements, placement, materials, colours, etc to my space and I implemented these specific details.
