![[It’s back!] Stefania here 🙋🏻♀️. When I first started integrating holistic healing into my life, it was because I wasn’t doing so well - things just felt “off.” I was in the midst of a major life transition - questioning my choices, how I was spending my days, and what *really* made me happy. I was a treadmill of work/life existence and I wasn’t sure how to change that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then, I learned that there are the right people out there to help each of us, to give us the tools to re-wire the way we live and think, to calm our minds and bodies together. With the right tools, everything shifted - I felt more like me, everything felt easier. I was more connected to myself, and the way I saw myself changed. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We created Virra’s Know Thyself series to bring you clarity, ease, and to help you see yourself more clearly. 🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I invite you to join us for the series - led by leading practitioners we’ve worked with ourselves.
