“Paola heeft mij goed geholpen om tot rust te komen. Ik ben altijd erg druk als ondernemer en zat vaak met veel gedachten en heel veel taken. Ze heeft me leren rusten door te mediteren en healing massages. Ik heb ADHD en daarom is het lastig om te mediteren, te rusten en niet te veel na te denken, maar dankzij Paola kan ik veel beter de dagelijkse taken aan en is mijn stress leven vele malen lager dan voorheen. Dankjewel Paola!"

(Paola helped me to relax and calm down. I am always busy and stressed. She tought me to meditate and she gave me healing massages with essencial oils. I have ADHD so it´s difficult to meditate and relax, but thanks to Paola's treatment, I am able to manage stress much better than before. Thank you Paola!

I´d like to thank you for all what you´ve done for me, I have no words to express how grateful I am. You helped me to open my mind to new and wide perspectives which I never considered before in my life. I never thought they could even exist. My Soul feels so much at peace. You´ve helped me to discover aspects of myself that I will use for the rest of my life. I feel my Soul wanted to find yours... Thank you for each of our sessions. I learnt so much. And thank you for being there every single time I´ve needed you.
