I am truly happy that I met Ranka.
When l look over the past months I see how much I got better and how much my life is enriched now. It is such a wonderful feeling to feel alive again and I was at a very bottom. And all that thanks to Ranka's help, support and kindness. I learned to love myself, to be compassionate, to set boundaries, to rest and many more and I knew very little of that.
After every our conversation I feel empowered, inspired, motivated, and relieved that everything is going to be okay. And the most important I feel heard, safe, and respected.
I will always be grateful for her in my life.
