Rarer still is one who, with precise clarity and timing, can offer an insight which changes everything, and sets you free. Persephone is one of these rare souls. Her compassion, patience and respectful nature are ever present; as is her willingness to journey to even those most wounded places which hold us back from being all that we can be. The gifts of her vision and depth of perception invite the truth to where it is most needed, facilitating deep healing. Persephone is a midwife of souls.
