Our Story
Illumination was developed and birthed through her thoughts and work with her clients. After meeting with hundreds of clients she realized that at the end of their process, clients would report that their problems or situations were lighter or much easy to understand and bare. Webster's dictionary states that Illumination is a source of light, its bringing clarification and spiritual and intellectual insight to a thing or situation. This process gives her client's hope that they will transcend (go beyond) those dark situations and develop insight and clarity to move forward in the process of life.
