A short, powerful and spot-on video - sip some tea, have your dog at your feet, and listen, and feel.

A warm welcome to you! Although I will occasionally peek at my business FB site, please do not FB Messenger me, but rather contact me with your questions and requests for services via email at [email protected]. I am "walking the walk", so to speak, and am *unplugging* from social media this fall to enjoy those deeper moments face-to-face or at least voice-to-voice! Looking forward to receiving your messages via email! All the best - Julie-Anne
