I have worked throughout my entire adult life to emerge from, and come to terms with a life filled with abuse. I chronicle my journey in my book, Crawling Out, available on Amazon and at my salon. Call me at 860-628-8857 to order.
I am a true survivor and my goal is to give hope to others who are suffering from abuse – to help victims find the strength, power and courage to begin their own journey of crawling out. With my book and my businesses, I am dedicated to helping people improve their overall well-being from the inside out. No one should have to walk alone. Please join me on my journey.
