I am Lucia Gallegos, a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, and here, every month, I share reflections centred on self-awareness, self-love, and accepting ourselves in all our facets.
You will find tools to face the adversities and challenges presented by everyday life, as well as to take care of the most beautiful garden we possess: our internal world, for everything that resides within us, is sacred.
