Mandi believes in putting you, the client, first. She takes a whole body approach and can aid you in finding out how stress manifests in both your  body and your mind.

Mandi does this by listening to you and creating a partnership in exploring your values. She then works with you to find ways you can be more mindful, which allows you to check in with yourself, to find out if you are living your values vs. fighting them.
