People “come to you to seek their highest path, the path closest to their heart, their most authentic journey. You’re a gypsy shaman of sorts and when they come to you, you take them to the places they need to go in order to live out their dreams and live out the successful life they’ve dreamed about and most desire…. You help people turn the key and unlock what’s inside them…with your questions, your knowledge of exercises and tools and your intuition.” – Salem, MA
