I am already making improvements in the way I communicate with my husband. As a result, I feel empowered and more likely to continue using the techniques we are working on. I am so grateful to having Desiree work through issues with me and will recommend her every chance I get.

I must say that I am very thankful for the sessions I had with Ms. Desiree, she opened doors in me that were closed in my past. I now see that I was harming myself by getting frustrated on the search for my future. I still a lot of work to do but I am confident that I will be a better person to me. Mahalo

Being from Hawaii, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Ms. Desiree Cantorna-Ibarra understands and respects the local Hawaiian culture. Our family culture and upbringing make a big difference in why it can be difficult to deal with the today's challenges and perspectives. I was amazed with her profound concepts that hit home for me.
