Checking in with Tonia really allows me to dig deep into what I'm experiencing and make positive changes. She's very intentional, and her guidance is the right amount of confrontational for what I need to grow, without feeling judged. I'd recommend Tonia to anyone that's ready to do what they need to do for themselves, but doesn't know where to start.
