Willow’s Bio

Hello, I am a published author, Certified NLP Professional, have an Occupational Science Degree and have worked with special needs for about 15 years. I have traveled and worked extensively in homes as a life coach, family/relationship coach and much more. I have worked with all ages, many different and unique needs, and seen more than I knew existed.
I cannot have kids of my own and I adore them. I have found ways to connect with both kids and adults that others seem challenged with. Love. Consistency. Presence. Understanding. Curiosity. Integrity. These are the core values that seem to open up and transform minds.
I have lived, explored and seen the world. What's missing is the heart and connection of family. I have so much to offer and am looking for a family who would appreciate my experience and maturity. I also love to cook, tutor, and I would be happy to assist with house work, yard work and whatever else comes up. Life is unpredictable and I am experienced in adaptability and solution oriented.
