This week I will have known Perla for a year and I’m so grateful I found someone who is a good listener and who challenges you to ask yourself why you think certain ways and helps you see it differently. I had felt hopeless and alone and together she helped me realize self love. She is great at drawing you out, remembering ALL the details, and helping you find your balance!

Even though this was my first session with Perla, I immediately felt welcomed and empowered to open up. Our conversation flowed naturally, and even the small things we discussed left me feeling heard and supported with clear paths forward. I’m genuinely looking forward to working with her more.

She was very empathetic. It felt like a very human conversation rather than her marking off a check list. I would love to see where these sessions take me.
