Testimonials

It's been brilliant working with Adriana. Her clarity and precision of communication is excellent, as is the way she holds space; gently, kindly, non-judgmentally. It feels very safe working with Adriana. Working with Adriana helped me to more clearly recognise patterns of behaviour; some of which hold me back, some of which move me forward. Some of the results were that i had a lot more clarity about my vision and goals for my creative practise, certain projects in particular, with more insight about what tends to hinder and what tends to help me. The process of focusing is so clarifying that i even had new ideas for my creative practise, aside from the general, and rich, insight into life, work, relationships...etc., that it gave me.

It's a bit long, maybe? Please feel free to use whichever parts you want and/or i'm happy to amend/edit.
Thank you so much!, Isaac.
