Reviews
I couldn't be more grateful for the time Mark & I spent together these last few months. It was so nice to have someone like Mark to help me sift and sort through some difficult decisions. He asked insightful questions and then gave me the freedom, the time and space to sit with the question and reflect on what he was asking; he did this with such kindness and empathy that I always felt safe to be honest and transparent. As a result, I was able to add several key resources to my tool box and I have Mark to thank.
