Nine years ago, I was lucky enough to have Margie Braunstein as one of my mentors and trainers.

Margie's unwavering support, compassionate guidance, and deep understanding of group dynamics and trauma were instrumental in my journey towards self-discovery and empowerment.

I can highly recommend Margie for her
