“Having never done something like this before, I was really taken aback with how much this session helped me translate the thoughts in my head onto paper. I particularly enjoyed the variety of visuals that helped me unpack the emotions.
By creating an incredibly welcoming environment, Jason helped me to learn more about where I've been and where I want to go in 90 minutes than I've been able to do in 9 months.”

“The session offered the time and the reflections that you tend to forget to have regularly”
"A sacred time for yourself to take a step back and reflect with the help of tools and the presence of others"
“Useful prompts and structure to reflect on where you are and are going, neatly wrapped into a box”
