George Hunihan

One of the most extreme stressors in our lives is the fear of change and the ability to say “I need help”. I overcame that fear one day and it had a dramatic impact on my life; my path changed into the positive direction of helping others. There is no greater feeling than engaging with you, developing a positive, trusting, fluid relationship and working in a collaborative manner toward a healthy and fulfilling life, regardless of what area that challenge lies.
