Women face many challenges in life. We work hard to balance the expectations of our career, our home life and our relationships. As women we often put ourselves last as we focus on the needs of others. Venus is here to help you sort through these expectations so you can find a healthy balance, peace, and most importantly feel like yourself again. If you are a woman and are experiencing anxiety, depression, shame or guilt - Venus is here to help. Venus has dedicated her career to helping women grow through their challenging moments. She truly believes with the right support we can heal and come out on the other side with wisdom and a different perspective on life. She enjoys helping women see their strengths, teach them tools and help them find hope and resilience.
