A note from Kaila:
Life is a journey, and in this life, we are all on a path. A path that will have bumps, holes, end of the roads, sharp turns, curves, sunlight, darkness, the unknown, and more. There is no right way to walk this path, there are no limits to walk this path. This path is yours, and as your therapist, I am a stepping stone in your path. I am here to act like a tour guide through this path, here to help you build and pack your toolbox needed for this path.
