Rachana is compassionate, empathetic, and wise. She is very down-to-earth and easy to talk to, and I really appreciate her insight; over the past year and a half, I have grown in confidence. I am in such a better place now! She has helped me simplify my life with my small children and offered solutions that have eased my anxiety and improved my relationships with others. I look forward to our calls each week, and I highly recommend her. Thank you, Rachana, for all of your guidance!
