"...it comes at such a perfect time..."

“I have enjoyed every session I have listened to and it comes at such a perfect time for me as I try to focus on my strength and inner wisdom to bring this baby into the world. Each speaker has been so positive and gentle, it’s like meditation to listen to their calls and connect with their energy.”
