I have been with Jose Manuel for about a year and have learnt a lot with his support. He understands my deeper motivations for growth and aligns himself with these. This has made me very comfortable and open in sharing every aspect of my life's experiences with him and has transformed my outlook to life. I have developed the capacity to use my personal resources, which he has helped me aggregate, to support myself through the growth trajectory of daily life. I am grateful.

He was so nice about my crazy traumatic thing that happened to me and seemed to be on the same level. Talked to me in the way I responded well to and was very understanding. Thanks Jose!
