Why choose my guidance?
Whether you’re new to this work or well-established, I aspire to see you and support you to find even greater excellence in your practice through one-on-one guidance calls.
The structure of the guidance relationship will depend on many factors and will be determined in the initial call. In the initial call, we will go over your application form and establish how we will work together based on your learning style, experience level, budget, and timeline.
In-person guidance opportunities can emerge from these calls; this is where guidance can turn more in to a mentor-apprentice style relationship. We can discuss this in the initial call.
There will be the eventual possibility to join a peer-lead collective of conscientious practitioners of all levels of experience and of varied orientations and approaches.
The guidance that I offer may be casual and peer-to-peer. It can also be formalized into a mentorship. We can explore the options together! I don’t claim to have all the answers or know what is the way. What I can demonstrate is a certain level of quantity of experience in this field.
